To solve a problem in which conventional textile machines can check presence/absence of a take-up tube but cannot determine whether or not the take-up tube corresponds to a cradle tray and thus, when having a wrong take-up tube, cannot avoid failure of doffing operation caused by fitting of the wrong take-up tube to a take-up unit; and thus, provide a textile machine capable of determining whether or not take-up tubes stored in stockers correctly correspond to take-up units.

In this textile machine, the plurality of take-up units having the stokers for storing the take-up tubes to take up yarn are juxtaposed. The textile machine is provided with a take-up tube determination means for determining whether or not the take-up tubes stored in the stockers correctly correspond to the take-up units having the stockers.
