摘要:
Process for monitoring a moving yarn sheet by means of a light beam, photodetectors and an electronic analyzer, whereby the yarn sheet is guided via thread guide rods before and after the monitoring site and the shadowing of the light beam caused by an increase in thread thickness is directed perpendicularly to the direction of travel of the yarn sheet for detection by photodetectors, and evaluated and recorded by the electronic analyzer, characterized in that the intensity of a single light beam is detected by at least two photodetectors arranged in series in the direction of travel of the yarn sheet and in that the evaluation by the electronic analyzer is such that a recording only takes place when the shadowing is detected by one or more of said photodetectors following in the direction of travel of the yarn sheet with a time delay corresponding to the running speed of the yarn sheet is disclosed. It is preferred to employ at least four photodetectors of which at least two are situated in series in the direction of travel of the yarn sheet and at least two are arranged one above the other such that at least one photodetector is positioned below the yarn sheet plane and at least one photodetector is positioned above the yarn sheet plane.
