Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2907908A1] A yarn feeder is provided with a motorized, yarn-winding rotary drum (12) which is rotatable with respect to a motor-housing (16) and is adapted to have a plurality of yarn loops (Y) wound on itself, which are adapted to be unwound upon request from a downstream machine. A sensor comprises light-emitting means (42) and light-receving means (44), at least one of which is to be fixed to the rotary drum (12), which operatively define a light connection passing through a detection area (30c) of the rotary drum (12) which is adapted to be repeatedly engaged by the yarn during its rotational unwinding movement. The unwinding of yarn from the rotary drum is determined on the basis of the variation of light resulting from the yarn (Y) transiting on the detection area (30c).
