Abstract
A combing machine includes a machine frame, drive unit, gearing mechanism, operating device, and nipper unit pivotably mounted in the machine frame and having a lower nipper plate with a nipper lip and an upper nipper plate. The combing machine also includes a pair of detaching rollers forming a clamping line, wherein a drive arm of the nipper unit is connected to an intermittently-driven nipper shaft in a rotationally-fixed manner. The nipper shaft is driven by means of a coupling element, which is connected to a driven gearing element. An adjusting device connected to the nipper shaft is provided for adjusting a distance between the nipper lip and the clamping line. The gearing mechanism also includes a fixation in a basic position with a mechanical blocking, and a sensor for measuring the distance or a variable proportional to the distance, and a display of the distance on the operating device.
