Device for adjustment of the parameters for optimal piecing operations on a rotor spinning machine
First Claim
1. A process for piecing in a textile spinning machine with optimal piecing parameters when batches of material processed by the spinning machine are changed, comprising:
- changing batches of material processed by the spinning machine;
inputting machine data which changes as a result of changing batches of material into a memory of a central machine control;
transmitting the machine data from the central machine control to a travelling piecing device for a piecing operation, the piecing device having a microcomputer configured for executing a piecing program and having a data base of functional piecing parameters;
computing with the piecing device microcomputer a basic set of optimal piecing parameters corresponding to the transmitted machine data, the basic set of parameters having a minimal number of piecing parameters required for a piecing operation;
displaying the set of optimal piecing parameters at an operator control station in operable communication with the piecing device before the piecing operation;
manually changing any combination of the displayed optimal piecing parameters by an operator at the operator control station within preset limits; and
piecing with the piecing device as a function of the manually adjusted optimal piecing parameters.

Abstract
The process and device for setting optimal piecing parameters in the spinning machine when changing batches includes entering and storing in a memory of a central machine computer spinning machine data relevant to the piecing operation. At the start of the piecing operation, the machine data is transmitted from the central machine computer to a microcomputer of a piecing device. The microcomputer contains a piecing program and a database of piecing parameters pertaining to the piecing process. An optimal set of piecing parameters is computed with the piecing program in the microcomputer. The microcomputer incorporates the spinning machine data and computes from the database an optimal basic set of piecing parameters. The optimal set of piecing parameters is displayed at an optical display unit associated with the microcomputer and can be manually adjusted.
