Abstract: Device and process for the regulation of thread winding onto a bobbin by applying a desired contact pressure Pc of the operating bobbin, providing the bobbin-holder arm with a counterweighing counterthrust Pp, on the basis of a pre-established trend of the value of Pc in relation to the advance length of the bobbin, indicating the weight of the bobbin in relation to the ratio between the length reached and indicating the rising a angle of the bobbin-holder arm, calculating the weight component due to the bobbin and said arm and applying a counterthrust Pp equal to the difference between said component and the pre-established value of the contact pressure Pc referred to the length reached.

Abstract: Process for measuring the length of the yarn wound onto a bobbin which, at discreet intervals, determines the length of yarn wound in a tangential direction, the length of yarn wound in an axial direction, combining them to obtain the precise partial length wound spirally onto the bobbin at each interval and integrating the partial lengths progressively indicated during the advancement of the bobbin to obtain the overall length.

Abstract: A method and device for winding yarn into bobbins, in an automatic winding machine in which the yarn is cut on command so that the cut end is wound onto the central portion of the surface of the bobbin under formation, in order to facilitate restoration of yam continuity and restarting of winding.
