Abstract:
A process for exchanging bearings in a textile machine which produces X-packages and includes:a traversing yarn guiding rod which in use carries a plurality of yarn guides operable to guide respective yarns to respective X-packages with axial traversing movements of the yarn guiding rod, and a plurality of bearings disposed at respective bearing points and operably supporting the yarn guiding rod to be slidable axially thereover during the traversing movements of the yarn guiding rod, said bearings being spaced axially of the yarn guiding rod from one another by a distance corresponding to at least twice an in use axial traversing stroke of the yarn guiding rod, said process comprising: removing the bearings and replacing them with replacement bearings disposed at new replacement bearing points which are axially staggered with respect to the respective previous bearing points in such a way that the new bearing points are at a distance from the previous bearing points corresponding to at least one traversing stroke of the guiding rod.
