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.

A twisting machine for automatic donning is provided. The twisting machine includes 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; the twisting machine further includes 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.

A drafting system for conveying a sliver to an inlet opening of a vortex chamber of an air-jet spinning device, for a drafting system having an exit roller pair and at least one additional drafting system roller pair and/or apron roller pair. A sliver is supplied at a spinning station of an air-jet spinning machine for the production of a thread to the vortex chamber. The exit roller pair can be driven decoupled from the at least one additional pair of drafting system rollers and/or apron rollers. In the method, the roller pair is driven for combing the sliver end after a spinning interruption at a predetermined combing speed and the at least one stretching mill roller and/or belt roller pair upstream of the starting roller pair is stopped or operated at a holding speed associated with the combing speed, which is at most 10% of the combing speed.
