ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a fiber bale opener (which has a tower arranged for travel along a series of fiber bales and an opening device carried by the tower and movable vertically relative thereto) includes the steps of moving the opening device back and forth along top surfaces of the fiber bales; removing fiber tufts by the opening device during travel thereof; coordinating travelling motions of the bale opener with vertical motions of the opening device by a control device; determining the presence of a foreign body in the fiber bales; lifting, during each pass of the bale opener, the opening device off the fiber bales just ahead of the location; moving the opening device, in the course of the travel thereof, over the foreign body; and lowering the opening device, in the course of the travel thereof, onto the fiber bales after passing over the foreign body.
