A combing machine has several combing heads. Each combing head has means (3) for feeding a lap to be combed per head and means for tearing away combed out tufts from the lap and to form a single web from all heads. In addition, the combing machine has guiding means (14) for pneumatically carrying away the removed noil. Finally, the combing machine has a device for automatically, continuously or periodically generating a signal that represents the proportion of noil while the machine is in operation. This device has a measurement member (19, 20) for determining the amount of noil carried away per unit of time, means for supplying a signal that represents the amount of combed material per unit of time, and/or means for determining the amount of lap supplied per unit of time. By means of these signals settings of the combing machine and/or of machines that precede it in the production line may be changed as required. |
