Abstract (en)

[origin: US4864679A] A textile machine, such as a spinning machine, is suction cleaned from spinning position to spinning position by a movable programmable robot provided with a suction device. This enables individual elements of the spinning machine prone to impurity or contaminant fouling to be maintained effectively free of such impurity depositions including fiber accumulations and the like without requiring use of the heretofore employed blowing-suction fucntion. The movable programmable robot is controlled by virtue of its being programmaged such that a suction trunk or nozzle thereof is guided in such close proximity to the individual elements to be suction cleaned that the suction cleaning operation can be effectively carried out and in a short period of time, following which the movable programmable robot is moved to the next spinning position for performance of the same or desired suction cleaning operation.
