TRAVERSING UNIT, METHOD FOR OPERATING A TRAVERSING UNIT AND WORKSTATION WITH A TRAVERSING UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to a traversing unit (1) for traversing a yarn (3) with respect to a take - off roller pair (9) of a work station (2) of a textile machine with a yarn guide unit (12), with a single traction drive (13) for driving the yarn guide unit (12), and with a conversion element (14), by means of which a rotational movement (ε) of the traversing individual drive (13) can be converted into a linear, reciprocating movement of the yarn guiding unit (12). According to the invention, the individual traversing drive (13) is designed as a circulating motor and at least one center position (M) of the yarn guiding unit (12) can be recognized by means of a sensor (18). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating such a traversing unit (1). In addition, the invention relates to a workstation (2) with such a traversing unit (1).
