Abstract
A method improves a winding process of a textile machine and a winding station of a textile machine having a machine controller (), a yarn sensor (), a yarn quality monitor, in particular a yarn clearer (), and a yarn connecting device, in particular a splicing device (). A yarn () is wound onto a bobbin (). The yarn () is analyzed with regard to its length, quality, and/or speed, and is cut if necessary in order to clear a quality defect and two yarn ends are connected to one another by means of the yarn connecting device after the quality defect has been removed. The yarn () is analyzed with regard to foreign material, yarn speed, and/or yarn length by means of a capacitive yarn sensor (), and is analyzed with regard to the yarn body and the yarn characteristic by means of an optical yarn quality monitor. The yarn () is subsequently optionally cleared. Data of the capacitive yarn sensor () with regard to the foreign material and/or the yarn speed is provided to the yarn quality monitor, in particular the yarn clearer (), and with regard to the yarn length and/or the yarn speed are provided to the machine controller ().
