Abstract
A sleeve magazine for a textile machine and operational method include multiple transport elements each with a plurality of holders configured for holding a sleeve, wherein each transport element is driven to move the holders and sleeves to a removal point. A removal device at the removal point removes the sleeves from the holders. A controller controls movement of the individual transport elements such that the holder of at least one transport element is moved with the sleeve thereon to the removal point. The controller actuates the removal device to remove the sleeve from the holder at the removal point while the holders of the remaining transport elements are maintained outside of the removal point so as not to interfere with removal of the sleeve from the holder at the removal point.
