A method is provided for controlling movement and operation of an attending device of a yarn manufacturing textile machine, wherein the attending device moves along a row of workstations arranged next to each other to perform operations at the workstations. The method controls the movement of the attending device along the work stations and operations of the attending device based on success statistics of the operations at the workstations to achieve an overall increased efficiency of the textile machine. An operational stay of the attending device at a particular one of the work stations is terminated without waiting for a result of the operation being performed by the attending device at the particular workstation.

The invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine (1), in particular a textile machine (1) producing cross-wound bobbins, most particularly an open-end spinning machine, comprising a plurality of identical workstations (2), wherein, during a normal operation of the workstations (2), yarn is produced or rewound from a supply bobbin onto a receiving bobbin with the aid of the workstations (2), and wherein a plurality of workstations (2), after a stoppage of these workstations (2), is started and therefore, set into the normal operating mode. According to the invention, it is provided that the plurality of workstations (2) is divided into groups (7) of workstations (2) and the groups (7) of workstations (2) are started at different times. Moreover, the invention relates to a textile machine (1), in particular a textile machine (1) producing cross-wound bobbins, most particularly an open-end spinning machine, comprising a plurality of identical workstations (2) for producing yarn or for rewinding yarn from a supply bobbin onto a receiving bobbin, wherein the textile machine (1) comprises control means or is operatively connected to control means, which are designed for operating the textile machine (1) according to the preceding description.

A spinning machine includes a plurality of work stations arranged side by side between two front-side ends along at least one longitudinal side of the spinning machine. Each work station has a draw-off device, and an individual drive for the draw-off device. Each work station further includes additional driven work elements for production and winding of a yarn, the additional work elements including at least a feed device, a spinning chamber, and a winding device. A suction device generates negative pressure at the work stations and includes at least one negative pressure source and at least two negative pressure channels. Each of the negative pressure channels extends in a longitudinal direction of the spinning machine only over one part of the work stations.

A method is provided for determining a functional status at a workstation of a textile machine that includes a plurality of the workstations, wherein each workstation includes at least one drive associated with a treatment device configured at the workstation to treat a fiber material. The method includes measuring a load variable of the drive and determining the functional status of the treatment device based on the measured load variable.

A textile machine and associated method are provided for operating the textile machine that includes a plurality of workstations, wherein each workstation includes at least one stepper motor configured to drive an element at the workstation. The method includes measuring a load variable, for example a load angle, of the stepper motor and detecting an approach of the element to an end position based on changes to the load variable.

The present disclosure provides a twisting machine for automatic donning, including an outer yarn branch rail arranged at the middle position of the twisting machine, wherein the outer yarn branch rail is positioned above the twisting machine, so as to successively drive the outer yarn carrier assembly to deliver the outer yarn winding package by suspending; further including an inner yarn branch rail arranged at the both sides of the twisting machine, the inner yarn branch rail is positioned above the twisting machine, so as to successively drive the inner yarn carrier assembly to deliver the inner yarn winding package by suspending. The forementioned structure enables the outer yarn winding package and the inner yarn winding package to be delivered high-efficiently in large scale by suspending and conveying, so as to largely reduce the labor intensity of operators and greatly improve production efficiency.
