Abstract:
1. Yarn processing system, comprising: at least one yarn feeding device associated with a yarn channel, a textile machine, an adjustable yarn brake in a yarn path between the yarn feeding device and the textile machine, and a tensiometer for measuring yarn tension, which tensiometer scans the yarn downstream of the yarn brake, wherein the tensiometer is provided permanently in the yarn path and is switchable between a passive position and at least one detection position, wherein the tensiometer is selectively switchable from the respective detection position into the passive position after a number of insertion cycles has occurred which number is representative for the adjustment of a yarn tension target profile, wherein the tensiometer is connected to an automatic switchover control device in which a timer or a program is provided to determine a duration of use of the detection position, the duration extending only over a selected plurality of consecutive insertion processes.
