A yarn monitoring system for textile machine uses sensors to indicate yarn over tensioning and breakage. The sensors are contained within, or adjacent to, eyelets and monitor, sending signals to the controller, the speed of the yarn. The eyelets, each with a sensor, are within a body that also contains a circuit board which is in constant communication with the eyelets and software contained within a controller. The controller, in turn, is in constant communication with the textile machine. The software is preprogrammed by a user with an acceptable signal range for passage of the yarn past the sensors and a predetermined time period for the signal to remain outside the acceptable signal range. To prevent unnecessary shut down of the textile machine, the software averages the signal and, when the averaged signal remains out of the acceptable signal range for the preprogrammed time initiates communication to the textile machine.

The present invention relates generally to lifting gear such as cranes which use ropes such as high-strength fiber ropes. The invention here in particular relates to an apparatus for monitoring operating data and/or for determining the replacement state of such a rope in use on such lifting equipment having a detection device for detecting at least one rope use parameter that influences the replacement state of wear and having a data store for storing the detected rope use parameter and/or an operating parameter derived therefrom that characterizes the residual service life and/or the replacement state of wear of the rope. Provision is made in accordance with the invention that the data store for storing the at least one detected rope use parameter and/or an operating parameter derived therefrom is integrated in the rope, with a reading and/or writing unit connected to the detection device for detecting said rope use parameter being provided to write to the data store in the rope installed at the lifting equipment.

In one example, a festoon system comprises a festoon module having a support assembly, and further comprises at least one upper sheave and at least one lower sheave, which are movable relative to one another by movement of at least one of the upper sheave or the lower sheave. At least one wire is configured to enter the festoon module at an entrance region, extend around a groove of the least one lower sheave and at least one groove of the at least one upper sheave, and then exit the festoon module at an exit region. A first coupling location of the support assembly is adjacent to the entrance region of the festoon module, and a second coupling location of the support assembly is adjacent to the exit region of the festoon module. Different modules are configured to be coupled to the second coupling location.

A self-synchronizing yarn tension control system is provided. Self-synchronizing yarn tension control includes a yarn brake, a yarn movement sensor, a yarn tension sensor, a yarn brake, and a controller configured to control the system. The controller is configured to store one or more tension thresholds and store instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include obtaining a yarn movement signal from the yarn movement sensor, determining whether a textile machine is operational based, at least in part on the yarn movement signal, obtaining a yarn tension signal from the yarn tension sensor, comparing the yarn tension signal to the one or more tension thresholds, generating one or more brake control signals based on said comparison, and operating the yarn brake based upon each of the one or more brake signals.

The invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine that serves for producing roving (2), wherein during normal operation, a fiber bundle (4) is supplied to at least one consolidating means of the textile machine, wherein a roving (2) having a protective twist is produced from the fiber bundle (4) by means of the consolidating means, wherein, after leaving the consolidating means and by means of a winding device (5) arranged downstream of the consolidating means in a transport direction (T) of the roving (2), the roving (2) is wound onto a tube (6), and wherein a sensor system (9) monitors whether a roving (2) is being produced by the consolidating means and/or whether the roving (2) produced by the consolidating means is being wound onto the tube (6). In accordance with the invention it is suggested that in the event that it is detected by means of the sensor system (9) that no roving (2) is being produced by the consolidating means or that the roving (2) produced by the consolidating means is not being wound onto the tube (6), an interruption of the of the normal operation takes place, that the tube (6) already partly loaded with roving (2) by the winding device (5) prior to the interruption in normal operation is replaced by an empty tube (6) during a tube changing process, that a start process is carried out in which roving (2) produced by the consolidating means after start-up of the consolidating means is brought into contact with the empty tube (6), and that the roving (2) produced by the consolidating means after the start process is wound onto the tube (6) and normal operation is resumed. In addition, a textile machine for producing roving (2) is suggested.
