A module for a fiber preparation machine is a self-supporting element having a cuboid shape with a length (L), a width (B) and a height (H), as well as at least two lateral walls extending in parallel respective planes and spaced apart by the width (B). A cross beam connects the lateral walls to one another. Each of the lateral walls is encompassed by a frame. A first leg of the frame is arranged along the plane of the respective lateral wall and a second leg of the frame is arranged at a right angle to the lateral wall and facing away from the opposite lateral wall. A fiber preparation machine includes a plurality of the modules interconnected together.

A take-off arm is provided for a bale opener for taking off fiber flocks from fiber bales. The take-off arm includes a housing, and a take-off unit having an axial length within the housing. A pressing element is connected to the housing via only load cells such that a contact force (F) of the take-off arm on the fiber bales is continuously measured by an evaluation of the load cells situated between the pressing element and the housing.
