Spindle assembly line
Brief description
A historic component.
The hand spindle was replaced by
the spinning wheel in the 15th
century. This made it possible to
spin a strong thread in a single
action. In 1768 the spinning
machine was invented.
Today, modern, fully-automated
textile machines use large numbers
of spindles and it is therefore costeffective to assemble them
automatically.
