Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3608457A1] The invention relates to a method of operating a service robot of a ring spinning machine, in which the service robot is displaceable along a row of spinning units (A) of the spinning machine, each spinning unit (A) comprising a spindle (1), wherein the service robot (4) can be stopped at a specific spinning unit (A) to perform a service operation at the spinning unit (A). The method comprises the following steps - displacing the service robot (4) initially along the row of spinning units (A) to detect a reference position; and - during this displacement of the service robot (4) at least one reference element (H) located between both ends of the row of spinning units (A) is detected by a sensor (A1), wherein the reference element (H) indicates the reference position; and - using the reference position during the operation of the service robot (4) to position the service robot (4) in front of a specific spinning unit (A) of the row of spinning units (A) if the need arises to perform a service operation at the respective spinning unit (A). The invention further relates to a ring spinning machine for performing this method.
