Abstract:
An apparatus for guiding a thread at a spinning station under normal operational spinning production, comprising:a withdrawal device through which the thread runs after it has been produced;a measuring instrument operably disposed in the running path of the withdrawn thread to detect a characteristic of the thread;a traversing device disposed after said withdrawal device in the running path of the thread, said traversing device configured to move the thread in a traversing back-and-forth motion transverse to the running direction of the thread prior to the thread being taken up; anda deflection roll disposed in the running path of the thread between said measuring instrument and said traversing device, said deflection roll having a groove to allow the thread after said deflection roll to move back and forth in response to the back and forth motion of said traversing device, said groove allowing a smooth and stable run of the thread between said withdrawal device and said deflection roll for said measuring instrument.
