Abstract
A winding station of a textile machine for producing cross-wound bobbins includes a base unit, a cover unit, and a bobbin holder configured to hold the cross-wound bobbin. A traversing device is configured to lay a thread in a crosswise manner on the cross-wound bobbin. A thread finding device is configured to find a thread end on the cross-wound bobbin. The base unit at least partially covers the cover unit, and the cover unit is movable with respect to the base unit between a working position for laying the thread and seeking the thread end and a cleaning position for cleaning the winding station. At least portions of the thread finding device are configured on the cover unit. A method is also provided for operating the winding station.
