Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the maintenance of a plurality of processing stations () of a textile machine (), whereby at least one first maintenance unit () can travel alongside the processing stations () in order to service and/or control the processing stations (). The maintenance unit () may be moved into an optimized readiness position when none of the processing stations () needs to be serviced and/or controlled by the maintenance unit. Alternatively, the direction of travel in which the maintenance unit () is to travel to the next processing station () in need of service is determined, whereby the direction of travel depends on the totality of processing stations in need of maintenance.
