Method and apparatus for controlling a card

摘要

A pneumatic measuring means is placed over the main cylinder to measure pressure variations due to changes in fiber layer thickness. The measured pressures are transmitted to a measuring and control means which compares the measured pressures to a pre-set value and produces a difference signal which is then used to control the card. The difference signal can be imposed on the supply means for the card, the doffing means or the drafting means.
