Abstract
An apparatus for controlling production in a spinning machine is disclosed herein. Sliver consumption quantity at each of the spinning stations is computed from the count of pulse signals generated in synchronism with the rotation of a drive shaft, e.g., of a winding drum, and from the count of those pulse signals generated in the same way but during yarn piecing or doffing operations when no spun yarn is wound. When a reference value of preset data is reached by the computed sliver consumption quantity with respect to any spinning station, a device is operated to give an alarm signaling the need for sliver can replacement with a full one at that station.
