An air jet spinning machine, air jet spinning machine for producing a thread from a fed sliver, and method for detecting a thread strength, which falls below a target value, of a thread produced at a spinning unit of an airjet spinning machine are provided. A thread manipulation unit is arranged in the region between the airjet spinning machine and the spooling device, which thread manipulation unit acts mechanically on the thread and exerts an adjustable thread tension influencing force, in particular an adjustable braking force, compression force and/or clamping force, onto the thread in order to variably increase thread tension. In the method, an adjustable thread tension influencing force is exerted onto the thread, and a thread breakage and/or thread breakage rate are/is detected and compared with a specified target rate, and thread breakage and/or deviations of thread breakage rate beyond a predetermined limit value are displayed and/or evaluated.

A FW apparatus includes a bobbin driving unit, a winding device, and a tension applying device. A FW method using the FW apparatus includes a temporary suspending step of temporarily suspending operation of the winding device in the middle of winding the fed-out fiber portion around the workpiece. In the temporary suspending step, the length of the feeding path is increased by moving the pressing member while causing the pressing member to press against the fed-out fiber portion in a state of continuing to feed out the fed-out fiber portion from the fiber roll portion.

A cable supply system includes a cable supply device supplying a cable, a cable buffer device storing a portion of the cable supplied from the cable supply device, and a control device controlling a cable storage amount of the cable buffer device. The control device controls the cable storage amount of the cable buffer device according to a cable supply speed of the cable supply device such that a cable output speed output from the cable buffer device is equal to a predetermined speed.
