The positioning unit is provided for at least substantially adjusting a spatial end position according to requirement. The transporting unit is embodied as a pivot arm, the transporting unit is in at least one operating state provided for receiving a carrier of material to be wound, wherein the material to be wound is wound onto the carrier of material to be wound and/or is wound off the carrier of material to be wound, and the transporting unit is in the winding operative position during the winding process.

A bobbin changing device for feeding bobbins to and/or removing bobbins from a processing device which can wind a strand-form material onto a bobbin and/or from a bobbin, wherein the bobbin changing device has at least one conveyor device, wherein the bobbin changing device has a swivel fork which is suited for feeding bobbins to and/or removing bobbins from such a processing device and for feeding bobbins to and/or removing bobbins from the conveyor device.

The invention relates to a rotary plate of a spinning machine, in particular a section or a carding engine, for depositing a sliver in a canister, with a base body (2) and a band channel (3) arranged in the base body (2). In accordance with the invention, it is proposed that, when the rotary plate (1) is used as intended, the side of the rotary plate turned towards the rotary plate (1) features, at least partially, a coating (6) with a spatial configuration made of spherical, irregular elevations (11).

A robotic spooler may be provided. First, a first take-up section of a Capture, Cut, and Transfer (CCT) device may receive a longitudinally continuous material. Then, the CCT device may cause the longitudinally continuous material to be captured by a first spool adjacent to the CCT device, cause the longitudinally continuous material to be taken up onto the first spool, and to provide a first cut to the longitudinally continuous material. Next, the CCT device may transfer the longitudinally continuous material from the first take-up section of the CCT device to a second take-up section of the CCT device. Then the CCT device may cause the longitudinally continuous material to be captured by a second spool adjacent to the CCT device, cause the longitudinally continuous material be taken up onto the second spool, and to provide a second cut to the longitudinally continuous material.

A doffing apparatus can be configured to couple to an automatically guided vehicle (AGV). The doffing apparatus can comprise at least one elongate arm, each elongate arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and a length, and at least one driver, each driver being configured to move along a respective elongate arm to move a bobbin toward the distal end of the elongate arm. The doffing apparatus can further comprise at least one alignment device. The doffing apparatus can further comprise a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive feedback from the at least one alignment device, provide a control signal to cause the AGV to align the elongate arm with a receptacle at a loader, and move the driver a select distance along the length of the elongate arm.

The subject matter of the invention is a manual multispool cabinet for winding a number of filaments (40, 40a) onto a respective removable transport spool (14, 14a) having a driven main winding shaft (10, 10a) per transport spool (14, 14a), wherein the main winding shaft (10, 10a) is formed for an exactly fitting reception of the transport spool (14, 14a, 214), and wherein the main winding shaft (10, 10a) drives the transport spool (14, 14a). Providing such a manual multispool cabinet that has such an increased filament speed is achieved in that, in addition to the transport spool (14, 14a), a buffer spool (12, 12a) is held on the main winding shaft (10, 10a).

A textile machine producing cross-wound packages with a plurality of identical workstations which are arranged in the area of the longitudinal sides of the textile machine and each of which has a winding device, and equipped with a tube supply device which includes a central tube magazine and at least one tube conveyor belt installed in the area of the longitudinal sides of the machine, in which case a cross-wound package can be removed, if necessary, from the winding device of the relevant workstation on the textile machine producing cross-wound packages and can be transferred to a cross-wound package transport device running the length of the machine, and an empty tube provided on the tube conveyor belt of the tube supply device can be inserted by means of a tube gripper into the winding device of the relevant workstation. The tube supply device is designed in such a way that the tube conveyor belt can be used as a tube accumulator for empty tubes during the operation of the textile machine producing cross-wound packages. In order to improve the efficiency of such a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, in particular to minimize significantly the tube delivery times arising in the event of yarn lot changes at a textile machine producing cross-wound packages, a drive is connected to the at least one tube conveyor belt, which drive enables reversible operation of the tube conveyor belt.
