Abstract
A method for the exchange of full for empty rectangular spinning cans for a spinning machine having a plurality of spinning stations is described. With the method a conveying track is provided respectively between two rows of n spinning stations for the feeding of full sliver cans and the removal of empty sliver cans. In order to achieve that the conveying track can be simultaneously used as a holding area of a can circulation, as many as possible initially full sliver cans are stored on the conveying track and are exchanged in steps for empty cans at the spinning stations in the course of a back and forth movement in the conveying direction. In the course of the can exchange the exchange phase can move with a back and forth movement in the conveying direction of a can block present on the conveying track in one case along the closely packed can block from one can to the other or, in another case, when the cans are spaced apart beforehand on the conveying track, it can take place in the gap distance in one back and forth movement of the can block.
