Abstract
A method is provided for operating a spinning machine with a multiple number of spinning stations. In the normal case, the individual spinning stations are supplied with a fiber material and produce a yarn. Upon the occurrence of predefined events, yarn production is interrupted at individual or all spinning stations, whereas such spinning stations are, when required, subjected to piecing with the assistance of a piecing process in order to start up yarn production again. The respective piecing is carried out with the assistance of handling tools associated with the spinning machine. The individual spinning stations are classified on the basis of one or more production-related parameters, and that, if more piecing processes are to be carried out at the same time than can be carried out by the handling tools, at least the selection of the spinning station to be subjected to piecing next is carried out under consideration of the specified classification.
