TEXTILE MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
The invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine (1) which serves to produce roving (2), wherein, during roving production, a roving (2) having a protective twist is produced with the aid of at least one strengthening means (3) from a sliver (4) fed to the strengthening means, wherein the roving (2) produced with the solidifier is wound, with the aid of a winding device (5), onto a tube (7) arranged in the region of a winding location (6), wherein a tube change takes place once the tube (7) has been fully or partially wound with roving (2), and wherein, during the tube change, the wound tube (7) is removed from the winding location (6) and an empty tube (7) is moved into the region of the winding location (6). The invention proposes that the production of the roving (2) is not interrupted during the tube change, wherein the roving (2) produced with the solidifier is wound onto the wound tube (7) during the tube change at least until, as a result of the tube change, it comes into contact with the empty tube (7). Also described is a textile machine for producing a roving (2), said textile machine being distinguished by the fact that it has at least one controller (13) which is configured to operate the textile machine in accordance with the method according to the invention.
