Can changer for a spinning preparation machine and method for changing can

摘要

The can changer (1) for a spinning preparation machine, the can changer (1) comprises at least a first driver (3) and a second driver (5) upstream of the first driver (3) in a predetermined transport direction (T) of the spinning cans (8). The first driver (3) and the second driver (5) are mounted on a movably guided support structure (6) of the can changer (1), the support structure (6) together with the first driver (3) and the second driver (5) with the aid of a drive (7) in said transport direction (T) from a first position to a second position and from there back to the first position, the drivers (3; 5) being formed during the movement to be able to move a spinning can (8) in the transport direction (T) from the first position to the second position, and at least the first driver (3) being movably mounted on the support structure (6), that it is movable relative to the supporting structure (6) starting from a basic position. According to the invention, at least the first driver (3) can first be moved from its second position against the transport direction (T) into a third position, the can changer (1) comprising a stop (9) which is placed in such a way that the first driver (3) comes into contact with the stop (9) during its movement into the third position and is moved relative to the supporting structure (6).
