Rotary creel of a sample warping machine, sample warping machine and method for measuring a bobbin diameter

摘要

The creel (5) has carriers (9, 10) rotatably supported to a machine frame around a rotation axis, and a set of reel supports arranged on the carriers. A sensor arrangement is provided for determining a filling level of reels (12, 13) arranged in the reel supports. The sensor arrangement exhibits a sensor that is movable parallel to the rotation axis. The sensor is arranged on a sliding rail, which is arranged at the machine frame. The sensor is designed as a contactlessly operating sensor such as laser sensor. An independent claim is also included for a method for measuring a filling level of reels of a sample warping machine.
