Abstract

The process for the positioning of a fiber sliver end is characterized in that in the stopped position of the flat can a drafting point is formed in the fiber sliver between the pair of calendar rollers and the sliver guiding channel and in that subsequent displacement of the flat can into a transfer position causes the fiber sliver to be severed at the drafting point and to be pulled out of the rotary plate, so that it is positioned with a constant length on the flat can.
