Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0801158A1] The carding machine has at least one sensor to monitor the effective working gap of at least one card clothing. The gap is scanned from the side of the working width. The sensor generates a beam from a mounting at one side of the working width, aligned through the card working zone. Also claimed is an assembly, and an adjustment system to set the gap between a card clothing and a facing component (13), where the mantle surface (T') of the clothing is taken as the reference surface. The gap (KA) between the component (13) and the surface (T') is monitored without contact. The position of the component (13) in relation to the clothing is altered by an actuator (50) if necessary, to correct any deviation from a nominal value for the gap (KA).
