  • Patent number: 10857609
    Abstract: The present invention provides a non-contact wire array tension control device for controlling a plurality of tension respectively corresponding to a plurality of electrical discharge wires, including delivering spools and electromagnets. The delivering spool has a magnetic end and a wire outputting end, the wire outputting end is coupled with an electrical discharge wire for outputting the electrical discharge wire. A plurality of electromagnets are coupled to the corresponding magnetic end for controlling a spin rate of the corresponding delivering spool, wherein the spin rate of the corresponding delivering spool is controlled by adjusting a magnetic force generated by the electromagnet. Moreover, a magnetic direction of the electromagnet is parallel to an axial direction of the delivering spool. The invention uses the electromagnets to control the magnetic damping force of the delivering spools for simultaneously controlling the tension of the electrical discharge wires by non-contact method.

  • Patent number: 6530538
    Abstract: A winding device (24) for a textile machine (1) producing cheeses has a creel (18) for holding a cheese (11) between tube receiving plates (38, 38′), a yarn traversing device (28) comprising a separate drive (31), and a speed-regulatable drive device (27) integrated in the creel (18) to move in a bearing housing (23) of the creel (18) and connected to one of the tube receiving plates (38, 38′). The drive device (27) can be loaded with a braking current which produces a moment opposite the direction of rotation (SR) of the cheese (11), for braking the cheese (11). The drive device (27) is arranged in a sliding sleeve (35) that can be loaded pneumatically against the displacement force of spring elements (43) to move one of the tube receiving plates (38) outwardly as needed in a creel opening direction.

  • Patent number: 6196491
    Abstract: In a method for winding a yarn onto a spool body, the conical spool body is driven about a longitudinal axis by a first drive unit. A yarn is guided onto the spool body by a reciprocating yarn guide thereby winding the yarn onto the spool body. A constant yarn winding speed is provided along the length of the spool body during the entire yarn winding process by adjusting the revolutions per minute of the spool body synchronously with a movement of the reciprocating yarn guide. The revolutions per minute are controlled by a computing and control unit based on the instant position of the reciprocating yarn guide and the diameter of the spool body at the instant position. The device for performing this method has a sensor for detecting the changing diameter of the spool body, and the reciprocating yarn guide has a detection device for detecting the instant position of the reciprocating yarn guide.
