Textile machine with plurality of identical stations

Abstract

The invention relates to a textile machine having a plurality of identical stations, each of which is equipped with a signaling device by means of which the operating requirements of the stations can be displayed. In order to optimize the operation of a textile machine having a plurality of identical stations in such a way that the operator immediately informs one of the stations of failure in advance regardless of which area of the textile machine the operator currently stays in, the invention provides that the signal devices are arranged on the stations and can be controlled in such a way that the signal devices can be controlled by the operator. A plurality of running light rows are formed as needed, and each running light row extends from a station arranged at the machine end of the textile machine to a station needing to be operated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a textile machine having a plurality of identical workstations, each workstation being equipped with signaling means whereby the operational needs of the workstation can be indicated. Background technique [0002] The following problems are associated with textile machines with several identical workstations, such as cross-winding automatic winders (Kreuzspulautomaten), open-end rotor spinning machines, open-end spinning machines or ring spinning machines, the operator is often very Difficulty identifying whether a station is functioning properly or whether a station needs operator assistance. This problem arises especially when a relevant work station is relatively far away from the operator's current work place. [0003] It has therefore already been proposed to arrange optical displays for displaying the operating status in the area of ​​the workstations of such textile machines and / or to equip the textile machines with mec...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, the disadvantage of the aforementioned device or method is that the operator, especially from a distance, cannot immediately recognize whether all stations are still producing normally or whether there is a fault requiring manual intervention by the operator at one station.

Insufficient knowledge of the working status of the stations of multi-station textile machines leads in practice to a very delayed intervention by the operator, with the result that the stations are often downtime longer than absolutely necessary
