This paper presents the concept of a doffing comb device in a roller c
ard based on the action of the comb shaft within the resonance area. T
he analysis of the vibrations of the shaft and the method for calculat
ing its construction data have been elaborated. The rigid finite eleme
nt method has been used to analyze the vibration, and the optimization
method used to calculate its construction data, while its frequency o
f motion has been assumed. Results of the calculations are shown in a
numerical example.
