Abstract: A method for forming the wound package of a conical cheese on rotor spinning machines, wherein a crossing angle ?M in a central zone of the bobbin traverse is less than 28° and a crossing angle ?R in the end zones located adjacent the ends of the wound package is increased in respect to the central zone. The cylindrical cheeses thereby produced are distinguished by long running lengths, solid structure, good density distribution and excellent unwinding properties.

Abstract: Although many conventional ribbon winding preventing methods have substantially solved a ribbon winding problem in terms of the appearance of a package, there is still a large difference between a ribbon winding layer and the other layers in, for example, unwinding performance for fast unwinding during a postprocess. In a configuration for using a traverse groove 11 formed in a traverse drum 6 to traverse and wind a yarn into a package 3, the traverse drum 6 has a plurality of continuous traverse grooves 11 for different winding values formed therein. This configuration also has means 24 for switching a yarn path to determine which of the plurality of continuous traverse grooves 11 for different winding values used to traverse the yarn. Means for detecting a diameter at which ribbon winding may occur is also provided to effect such control that the winding number for the traverse drum 6 is changed when a package diameter is close to the ribbon winding diameter.
