  • Method and apparatus for controlling the winding of an elongated element onto a collection reel with the interposition of a service fabric
    Patent number: 9914608
    Abstract: An apparatus for winding an elongated element onto a collection reel with the interposition of a service fabric, includes a device for feeding the elongated element toward the collection reel, a device for feeding the service fabric toward the collection reel, a device for driving in rotation the collection reel, and a control device for controlling the rotation speed of the collection reel. The control device includes a device for detecting the actual winding diameter of the collection reel and a device for adjusting the rotation speed of the collection reel according to the actual winding diameter of the collection reel.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling the winding of an elongated element onto a collection reel with the interposition of a service fabric
    Patent number: 8871045
    Abstract: A method for controlling the winding of an elongated element onto a collection reel with the interposition of a service fabric, includes rotating the collection reel and simultaneously winding the elongated element and the service fabric onto the collection reel, wherein the simultaneous winding includes determining the actual winding diameter of the collection reel and preferably, the actual unwinding diameter of a storage reel of the service fabric. The rotation speed of the collection reel is adjusted according to the actual winding diameter and preferably, also to the variation in length of the portion of elongated clement about to be deposited onto the collection reel.
