  • the light emitting section and the light receiving section are not provided in or to the tube member of the yarn catching / guiding device, no movement occurs in the wiring of the light emitting section and the light receiving section. Therefore, because the degradation of the electric wiring is suppressed, the occurrence of the defect in the first detecting section due to the degradation of the electric wiring can be suppressed.
  • the defect determining section can determine whether at least one defect has occurred as the defect in the yarn joining operation among a defect in the first detecting section, a defect in the second detecting section, and a defect in the yarn caught by the yarn catching / guiding device. Whether a defect has occurred in the yarn joining operation can be detected by determining whether any of the above-mentioned defects has occurred.
  • the textile machine can include a displaying section for displaying information that indicates that the defect has occurred when the defect determining section determines that the defect has occurred.
  • the occurrence of a defect in the yarn joining operation can be appropriately detected.
