CONSTITUTION:When the consumption of more than a specific number of bobbins 8 on the doffer 4 is detected by a counter, the lamps L1 and L2 are lighted. The light is detected by the phototubes PH 6, 7 when the doffer 4 reaches the bobbin-receiving position, and the doffer 4 is stopped to receive the bobbins. The rotary drum 49 is turned to face its opening 56 to the bobbin 8, and feed the doffer 4 with the bottin 8. When the bobbin 8 is detected by all of the phototubes 3, 4, 5 the lamps L1 and L2 are extinguished and the doffer 4 beins to travel again. |
