Abstract: A winding device for winding a material to be wound includes a winding mandrel provided for carrying a carrier of material to be wound in a winding process, with a transporting unit on which at least a component of the winding mandrel is arranged, and with a positioning unit provided for changing a spatial position of the transporting unit. The positioning unit is provided for at least substantially adjusting a spatial end position according to requirement. The transporting unit is embodied as a pivot arm, the transporting unit is in at least one operating state provided for receiving a carrier of material to be wound, wherein the material to be wound is wound onto the carrier of material to be wound and/or is wound off the carrier of material to be wound, and the transporting unit is in the winding operative position during the winding process.

Abstract: A guiding device for a material to be wound for a winding machine includes at least one blade guiding unit comprising two fiber guiding blades, which are rotationally drivable in opposite directions and are configured for feeding a material to be wound to a carrier of material to be wound of the winding machine, and the at least one blade guiding unit is configured for conveying a material to be wound which is implemented of inorganic fibers. The blade guiding unit comprises at least one fiber guiding blade tip, which has an at least semi-oval exterior geometry, and the blade guiding unit comprises at least one fiber directing element, which is implemented at least partly of an inorganic-fiber compatible material and comprises at least one rounded fiber guiding edge.

Abstract: A winding device for winding up at least one material to be wound onto at least one exchangeable tube, having at least one winding mandrel which is provided to receive the at least one tube in at least one operating state and/or drive it in rotation about a winding axis, comprising at least one winding mandrel has a first mandrel unit and at least one second mandrel unit, wherein the mandrel units are introducible from opposite sides into the at least one tube.

Abstract: A winding system having at least one winding device for winding up at least one ribbon-form material to be wound onto at least one exchangeable tube that is drivable in rotation about a winding axis, and having at least one feed device which is provided to supply the at least one ribbon-form material to be wound, comprising at least one deflecting unit which is provided to deflect the at least one ribbon-form material to be wound coming from the at least one feed device, during at least one winding-up operation, as said ribbon-form material to be wound travels to the at least one winding device, about at least one axis which extends at least substantially parallel to a direction of the gravitational force.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing cut glass fibres, whereby the apparatus comprises at least one first cot wheel and at least one second cot wheel, a first cutter head and a second cutter head, whereby the apparatus is configured such that the apparatus is operable in at least one first operation mode in which at least one of the cot wheels and at least one of the cutter heads are capable to cut inline glass fibres from a yarn, preferably from an endless yarn.

Abstract: The invention describes a process and an apparatus for the production of highly crimped polymer strips which are suitable for use in artificial turf surfaces, for example for football pitches, hockey pitches, tennis courts or golf courses, and are characterized by a high degree of strength, a large volume and a high elasticity. The texturing of the polymer strips is carried out by means of a stuffer box, wherein the polymer strips are laid on a cooling godet immediately after the stuffer box.

Abstract: The direct roving winder has a machine frame which carries at least one winding spindle for the production of one or more roving packages and a cross-winding device. An apparatus for contactless detection of the actual diameter of a roving package is also provided which has a laser sensor with a transmitter and a receiver for laser radiation in which the distance of the laser sensor from the package surface is ascertained by means of the radiation from the transmitter to the package surface and back to the receiver. The laser sensor can be mounted in stationary manner on the machine frame or on the displacement device. The laser sensor can be arranged in a housing with an opening for the passage of the laser beam, in which there is a free space between the laser sensor and the inside of the housing into which compressed gas is introduced which exits through the opening.
