Adjacently to the fan-shaped information beam (2), sensors (16, 17) are arranged which, via a control device (20), cause the X-ray source (1) to be adjusted in such a manner that the focus (11) always assumes its nominal position. For this purpose, needle-shaped measuring X-rays (18, 19) are inserted which impinge on the sensors (16, 17).

Faulty knots (4) which arise when ends (5) are taken from two yarn sheets to a knotter, are detected by running the completed knot (4) through a measuring arrangement. This determines the thickness of the knot (4) and gives an alarm signal if there has been a fault in separating out the ends (5).
