The yarn handling device is a yarn clamping and cutting device, and a sensor device is provided for monitoring the yarn, the second deflection roller being arranged on a plane different from a horizontal plane formed by the axis of rotation of the first deflection roller.

The invention relates to a method for controlling rotation of a winding spool onto which an optical fiber is wound in a proof-testing machine. The optical fiber is guided in the proof-testing machine at a given line speed from an input pulling device to an output pulling device and then to the spool. The input and output pulling device is arranged to subject the optical fiber to a predetermined tensile stress. The method includes upon detection of a break between an output point (A) of the input pulling device and between an input point (B) of the output pulling device, a step of controlling the rotational speed of the spool to bring it to a complete stop; and a step of passing the optical fiber between an output point (C) of the output pulling device and an input point (D) of the winding spool in a fiber accumulation zone adapted to accumulate a predetermined fiber length preventing an fiber broken end resulting from the break going beyond the input point (D) of the winding spool.

A cord reel cable including a cable with tinsel sheath surrounding power and data conductors, wherein the tinsel sheath is comprised of no more than 40 tinsel or tinsel strands, and the cable is wound and unwound around a spool while maintaining continuous electrical contact to a power source through a slip ring mechanism or the like, wherein the tinsel sheath provides a durable EMI shielding to the cable.

The invention relates to a spinning station (1) of a spinning machine, wherein the spinning station (1) has a spinning means (2) for producing a yarn (3) from a sliver (4) fed to the spinning means (2), wherein the spinning station (1) has a winding apparatus (20) for winding the yarn (3) onto a package (16), said winding apparatus (20) being arranged downstream of the spinning means (2) in a transport direction of the yarn (3), wherein the spinning station (1) has a yarn clearer (5) arranged between the spinning means (2) and the winding apparatus (20), the yarn being monitorable for yarn defects with the aid of said yarn clearer (5), and wherein the spinning station (1) is assigned a controller (6) which is configured to interrupt the production of the yarn (3) if a defined yarn defect is detected. The invention proposes that the spinning station (1) has an information unit (7) with the aid of which it is possible to display to an operator of the spinning station (1) how much yarn (3) has to be at least unwound from the package (16) located in the winding apparatus (20) following the interruption to the yarn production in order to ensure that the yarn section having the yarn defect has been completely removed from the package (16). Furthermore, a yarn clearer and a method for operating a spinning station are proposed.
