Abstract
A method for operating a work station ( ) of a cheese-making textile machine. A work station computer ( ) communicates with a tensile yarn force sensor ( ) for monitoring the tensile yarn force of a yarn ( ) traveling from a supply bobbin ( ) to a takeup bobbin ( ). A yarn tensioner ( ) regulates the tensile yarn force of this yarn and a yarn cutting device ( ) performs a controlled severing of the running yarn. According to the invention, the work station computer ( ) predetermines the contact pressure (APD) of a yarn braking device ( ) of the yarn tensioner ( ) acting on the yarn ( ) in accordance with the tensile yarn force ascertained by the tensile yarn force sensor ( ), compares the predetermined contact pressure (APD ) with a predetermined contact pressure value (APD ), and interrupts the bobbin winding process if the limit value is attained or exceeded for a predetermined time period (t −t ).
