CONTINUOUS AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF COMBING NOIL

摘要

Textile combing apparatus is fitted with means for monitoring noil production during operation of the apparatus. First means (30, 40) continuously, or at intervals, determines a first set of spatial parameter values that is a measure of total fibre input to the apparatus. Second means (60,70) continuously, or at intervals, determines a second set of spatial parameter values that is a measure of combed fibre output from the apparatus. An indication of noil production may be determined from these spatial parameter values.
