Abstract: A method for producing cheeses of the random winding type, wherein the workstations of an automatic cheese winder comprise a winding device with a yarn guide drum and a creel, both supported in an axially shiftable relation to each other, the creel holding the cheese in a rotatable manner and the yarn guide drum driving the cheese through frictional engagement, a ribbon disturbance device and an edge displacement device. The ribbon disturbance device causes a slippage by a defined adjustment of the bearing pressure of the cheese on the yarn guide drum. Relative movements between the yarn guide drum and the creel are initiated in the area of ribbon winding zones which counteract a stroke change caused by the ribbon disturbance during the winding of the yarn onto the cheese.
Abstract: A method for producing graduated precision windings on cheeses in an open-end spinning system. The winding ratio is reduced in stages, in increasingly smaller graduations, as the cheese diameter increases during the bobbin travel of the cheese. The graduations do not exceed the value of 0.3 and are each selected such that changes in the crossing angle are within a tolerance range of less than ±0.8°, and the least number of diamonds occurring during the building of the bobbin can be completely filled. The cheeses thusly produced are distinguished by a stable construction, high density with uniform distribution of density over the entire yarn package, and excellent payout properties.
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for traversing a yarn, wherein a traversing yarn guide is moved by means of an electric motor. The actual position of the yarn guide is continuously determined by means of a measuring device and supplied to a control device, which performs a comparison between the actual and desired positions of the traversing yarn guide, and the control device generates a corresponding differential signal for controlling the operation of the electric motor.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for winding a yarn package, wherein an advancing yarn is reciprocated by means of a traversing yarn guide within a traverse stroke, and deposited on the yarn package. To avoid high package edges, the traverse stroke of the traversing yarn guide is variable in its length within the width of the yarn package during the winding operation. The length variations of the traverse stroke occur during the winding cycle by a predetermined stroke modification function, which is determined from a mass distribution of the yarn on a hypothetically wound, ideal yarn package, so that it is possible to produce a predetermined package density of the yarn package.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for winding a continuously advancing yarn, wherein the yarn is wound into a package that is formed on a rotating tubular core, the yarn being traversed by a yarn guide within a traverse stroke. At the beginning of each traverse stroke, the yarn guide is accelerated within a reversal length to a guiding speed, and after traversing the traverse length it is decelerated within a second reversal length. The yarn traversing mechanism includes a belt drive system for reciprocating the yarn guide and which is controlled by a programmable control device such that the yarn guide is moved within a traverse stroke which is axially shorter than the package length and which is reciprocated between the ends of the package without changing the length of the traverse stroke.
