Abstract
A fiber processing machine includes a fiber processing roll carrying a roll clothing on a circumferential surface thereof; an operationally substantially stationary carding segment carrying a segment clothing for cooperating with the roll clothing along a circumferential length portion thereof; a strip-supporting component fixedly held on a machine frame and having a supporting surface; and a segment-supporting strip extending circumferentially along the roll and being held on the supporting surface of the strip-supporting component. The segment-supporting strip has an upper surface supporting the carding segment at opposite end portions thereof and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. A radial distance between the clothing points of the segment clothing and the clothing points of the roll clothing is determined and is changeable by the shape and/or the position of the segment-supporting strip.
