Abstract
A textile winding machine having a transport system for recirculating bobbin tube support members carrying empty bobbins, and diverting tube support members carrying partially unwound bobbins, and tubes having remnant windings of yarn thereon into diverting paths is disclosed. Each bobbin has an information transfer device which contains data pertaining to the bobbin tube on which it is carried. At least one reading device is present in the transport system for reading the information transfer device. The transport system comprises a storage path for storing tube support members; a device for diverting tube support members; and a control unit connected to the reading device for controlling the diverting device to divert tube support members which tube support members are determined by the control unit in conjunction with the reading device to the storage path to have predetermined storage path conditions. The transport system may also include a delivery path and an ancillary transport path extending between the return path and the delivery path for transport of tube support members therebetween. A counting device may be included and coupled to the memory device for writing bobbin data on the associated tube support member and may be disposed in an area for transferring bobbins to tube support members.
