Automatic conveyor system for cotton fiber tapes from a tape winding machine to a combing machine assembly.

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for automatically conveying cotton laps from a ribbon-lap machine to a combing machine assembly, which has the feature of comprising, downstream of a ribbon-lap machine (1), a cradle lifting device (2) for taking up a lap roller (4) from a lap roller collecting frame (3). A gripper taking up device (10) is moreover provided which is adapted to remove a lap roller (4) from the cradle lifting device and to load an empty roller (4a) on an empty roller collecting frame (15). The gripper taking up device (10) is supported on a carriage (20) slidable on a guide path so as to selectively reach a combing machine, which is selected from an assembly of combing machines in order to discharge the lap roller (4) on a supplying frame while simultaneously taking up an empty roller (4a).
