Thread-guiding device for a workstation of a textile machine which produces cross-wound bobbins. The workstation has an unwinding aid device for feed bobbins, a winding device for producing a cross-wound bobbin and a thread-guiding channel which surrounds the thread path and which can be subjected to negative pressure. The thread-guiding device is installed at the end face of the thread-guiding channel in the region of a suction head above the regular thread path in the workstation and is designed such that during a thread cutting process initiated during the winding operation, the thread end of the newly created upper thread, said thread end shooting upwards as a result of the thread tension in the running thread, enters the thread-guiding device and is guided in a controlled manner by the thread-guiding device in the direction of the center of the cross-wound bobbin.

A system for transporting fiber ends can comprise a fiber supply assembly that supplies fiber along a first axis. A plurality of eyeboards can be positioned along the first axis. Each eyeboard can define a plurality of openings therethrough. Each opening of the plurality of openings can be configured to receive therethrough a fiber from the fiber supply assembly. A track can extend along the first axis. The track can pass proximate to each eyeboard of the at least one eyeboard. A carriage can be movable along the track. The carriage can define at least one fiber attachment element. An actuator can be configured to move the carriage along the track.

The present disclosure provides a multi-filament helical winding device. The device includes a frame, a multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion, a multi-filar guide rotation portion. The multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion and the multi-filar guide rotation portion are arranged on the frame, and the multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion is connected to the multi-filar guide rotation portion. A count of the multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion is the same as a count of the multi-filar guide rotation portion, and the multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion corresponds to the multi-filar guide rotation portion one by one. The multi-filar guide radial telescopic portion includes a first telescopic mechanism or a second telescopic mechanism. The multi-filar guide rotation portion includes a first rotation mechanism or a second rotation mechanism.

A winch system includes a reel, a reel motor operably connected to the reel and configured to rotate the reel about a reel axis, and a spooling guide assembly. The spooling guide assembly includes a spooling guide supported by a carriage so as to be movable with the carriage along a Cartesian x-axis. A table on which the carriage is movably mounted is configured to be moved along a Cartesian y-axis which is perpendicular to the Cartesian x-axis. A frame is configured to support the table. A first counterbalance has a first portion fixedly attached to the frame. The first counterbalance is operably connected to the table and is configured to apply a first force to the table in a first direction opposite to a gravitational force on the table when the table is located at a first position.

A system including a platform, a drill connected to the platform, a power source, a cable connected to a cable reel and the drill, and a stinger. The stinger is configured to guide a position of the cable, relative to the platform, as the cable moves relative to the platform and relative to the stinger. An actuator is connected to the stinger and operable to move the stinger relative to the platform. A sensor is disposed to sense a physical parameter of at least one of the platform, the drill, the power source, the cable, and the stinger. A computer system is programmed to convert the physical parameter into a vector data structure and input the vector data structure to a classification machine learning model, which outputs a classification for the physical parameter. A control system is configured to control the actuator to move the stinger based on the classification.

A wire feeder includes a cartridge disposed in a supply position and having a wire spool wound with a wire, and including an outlet portion through which the wire is drawn outwardly along an internal travel path, an air guide disposed on a wire supply path and including a first inlet portion through which the wire drawn out from the outlet portion is drawn in, wherein the first inlet portion is aligned with the outlet portion on the wire supply path, a sensor disposed at the first inlet portion of the air guide, and a first vacuum line generating a vacuum in an interior of the first inlet portion according to a detection of the wire at the first inlet by the sensor.

A device for fixing a tail end of a filament to a filament spool is provided. The device includes a filament threading module having a filament feeding module and a filament guide mechanism. The filament feeding module is configured to clamp the filament and pass the tail end of the filament through a first threading hole on the filament spool. And the filament guide mechanism including a filament guide assembly is used to guide the tail end to pass through a second threading hole on the filament spool after the tail end of the filament has passed through the first threading hole. The filament guide assembly including a filament guide and a filament driver. The filament driver is configured to move the filament guide assembly towards or away from the filament spool.
