Combing machine

摘要

A comber machine with a nipper head (3) has a fixed bearing (2), and at least one pair of detaching rolls (6'') which are rotatably mounted in bearings (41). The nipper head (3) and the detaching rolls (6'') are moved during a combing cycle towards one another and away from one another by the distance of a stroke path, up to a minimum distance which corresponds to a predetermined separation value. While still maintaining the stroke path, the predetermined separation distance (ecartement value) can be adjusted. To facilitate the setting of the ecartement value, provision is made for bearings (41) of the detaching rolls (6'') to be displaced relative to the fixed bearing (2) of the nipper head (3), jointly on a track (45) which enlarges or reduces the separation value.
