Material movement system in automatic spinning machine

摘要

The material movement system in an automatic spinning machine has a conveyor which travels in a closed loop for the delivery and removal of bobbins and sleeves at the spinning stations. To reduce or break a build-up of carriers in front of the unloading station, the loading station is switched to give a run of empty carriers in a given sequence loaded with bobbins so that also empty bobbins are carried to the prepn. stations, to be detected and moved past the prepn. stations. Also claimed is an assembly with an operating program at the loading station (14) for charging the empty carriers (13) with bobbins (11). A conveyor path (25) bypasses the prepn. units, where a preceding detector (24) identifies empty carriers (13) to be diverted into the bypass path (25).
