A spinning machine comprising a plurality of spinning positions disposed adjacent to each other and spaced apart by a spindle pitch, - each spinning position comprising at least one fiber guide for guiding a fiber composite, - a drafting system for drafting the fiber composite, - a condensing device for condensing the drafting fiber composite disposed downstream of the drafting system, and - a spindle disposed in a spindle line for producing a yarn, and - the fiber composite being clamped in the drafting system by means of a discharge roller pair having an top and a bottom roller (8, 9) and being fed into the condensing device, and - the drafted fiber composite being condensed in the effective range of the condensing device and clamped by means of a clamping roller, - whereas the center of the spindle corresponds to the spindle line and the spindle pitch is the position of the center of the spindle of each spinning station and the spindle pitch represents the spacing of the spindle centers of adjacent spindles of the spinning machine, characterized in that a) the fiber guide, particularly the fiber guide disposed closest to the condensing device as seen opposite the fiber running direction, and at least a part of the effective range of the condensing device are disposed in a predefined and substantially equal spacing and/or b) the top roller of the discharge roller pair and/or the clamping roller in the axial direction thereof are offset relative to the spindle pitch or spindle line and whereas the top roller and/or the clamping roller are contacted off center by the fiber composite whereby the wear of the top roller and the clamping roller thus also occurs off center and the top roller and/or clamping roller of a first spinning position is interchangeable with that from a second spinning position, on which the fiber composite contacts the top roller and/or the clamping roller differently than at the first spinning position, so that after the exchange the contacting of the fiber composite with the upper roller or the clamping roller takes place at a different location. - each spinning position comprising at least one fiber guide for guiding a fiber composite, - a drafting system for drafting the fiber composite, - a condensing device for condensing the drafting fiber composite disposed downstream of the drafting system, and - a spindle disposed in a spindle line for producing a yarn, and - the fiber composite being clamped in the drafting system by means of a discharge roller pair having an top and a bottom roller (8, 9) and being fed into the condensing device, and - the drafted fiber composite being condensed in the effective range of the condensing device and clamped by means of a clamping roller, - whereas the center of the spindle corresponds to the spindle line and the spindle pitch is the position of the center of the spindle of each spinning station and the spindle pitch represents the spacing of the spindle centers of adjacent spindles of the spinning machine, a) the fiber guide, particularly the fiber guide disposed closest to the condensing device as seen opposite the fiber running direction, and at least a part of the effective range of the condensing device are disposed in a predefined and substantially equal spacing b) the top roller of the discharge roller pair and/or the clamping roller in the axial direction thereof
