Abstract
A carding machine comprises a main carding cylinder and parts which are adjustable relative thereto, such as a licker-in, a stationary flat, a revolving flat and a doffing cylinder, such parts preferably having a nominal spacing relative to the main carding cylinder. For checking a spacing, namely an existing spacing or an already adjusted spacing between the main carding cylinder and the aforesaid parts arranged opposite thereto, there is provided a sensor at at least one end or end portion of the main carding cylinder, but preferably at each one of the two ends or end portions thereof, such sensor or respective sensors being connected to an electronic evaluation unit by means of a coupling device.
