TEXTILE MACHINE HAVING A DRAFTING UNIT
An operating section of a textile machine (100) drafts fibre material and outputs it to a processing section (110). The textile machine (100) has a controller or is coupled to such a controller, which controls the operating section and a plurality of lighting elements (2, 3, 3a, 3b, 4-7) according to a lighting scenario such that the lighting elements (2, 3, 3a, 3b, 4-7) indicate: - filling states of fibre-material stores (201) located upstream of the drafting unit (103), - a processing direction, - soiling, - deviations in the fibre material, - number and/or size of thicker areas in the fibre material, - the operating state of a sensor system of the textile machine (100), - number of cans located in a can deposition device (110), - a worn state of at least one drafting unit upper roller, - proposed maintenance, - a proposed replacement of a wearing part, - a position of a detected fibre-material break, - a frequency of detected fibre-material breaks, and/or - the presence • of a fibre-material break between the drafting unit (103) and fibre-material store (201), • of a can change and/or of the lack of a fibre-material store at the can deposition device (110), and/or • of a fibre-material backup.
