Abstract: A transformer winding device, a method and a transformer are disclosed. The transformer winding winding device includes a rotary device configured to extend along an axis of rotation and configured to receive a transformer winding to be wound, at least one device configured to provide a plurality of insulation strips, and a comb-like guide device. The comb-like device is configured to deflect the plurality of insulation strips into at least one common winding plane and fed parallel to one another, at an angle to an axis of rotation, to the transformer winding to be wound. The comb-like guide device can include at least a first guide device element for a first group of insulation strips and a second guide device element for a second group of insulation strips, wherein the first and second guide device elements are offset with respect to one another in terms of axial length.

Abstract: Method for warping with a cone sectional warping machine, which winds threads in bands on a warping drum, wherein a support for a thread guide comb and the warping drum are displaced in relation to each other in correspondence with the increasing thickness of winding and predetermined warping data. The first band is monitored during a first measuring phase by a roll exerting contact pressure and the monitored displacement path is recorded as a function of the number of rotations of the warping drum. Roll pressure on the winding during the measuring phase is continuously monitored using measuring techniques. Displacement of the support is corrected if monitoring results differ from a predetermined setpoint. In order to even out the formation of the wind, the roll is arranged at a given distance from the warping drum when warping of the first band is started. The monitoring of the roll is automatically started with increasing thickness of the winding as soon as the winding causes the roll to rotate.

Abstract: In a procedure for the provision of pattern warps, different threads 12 are pulled off by a rotating thread guide from a circulating thread creel 27 circulating synchronously therewith. The threads are laid off on parallel transport bands oriented axially around the circumference of a non-rotating drum. At predetermined times unneeded threads 12 are connected to the thread guide 11 via a clamp and cut between the clamping point 19 and the drum. Upon renewed demand, the free thread ends 22 are held stationary and the clamp is opened. In a warp knitting machine in which this procedure can be carried out, every thread guide 11 is provided with an orbiting clamping point 19. A cutting arrangement 20 serves for cutting the threads 12 between the clamping point 19 and the drum 1. On the machine frame there is provided a stationary holding arrangement for the free threads ends. In this manner it is possible to create a plurality of different patterns in a relatively short time.

Abstract: Apparatus used with a yarn warper or beamer to uncross yarn ends that have become crossed during a warping operation. An element shaped like a knuckle moves back and forth across a side of the yarn sheet while protruding into the path of yarn ends making up that sheet. The motion of the knuckle against the side of the yarn sheet raises each yarn slightly, then allows the yarn to return to its original position. This motion dislodges yarn ends that have become crossed and allows them to return to their proper registration in the yarn sheet. The end uncrossing device may be located either downstream or upstream from the comb assembly in a warper.

Abstract: In a warping machine, once a temporary feed speed for a warping reed is set in synchronism with the speed of rotation of the warping drum, the winding thickness of the warp lap is detected several times and the feed speed is corrected depending on the number of revolutions of the warping drum and the winding thickness that results therefrom. The winding of the warp lap is then completed at the corrected feed speed. During a starting phase, a theoretically correct feed speed for at least the first revolution of the warping drum is derived from warp parameters, such as the total number of threads, the width of the warp and the yarn count. The winding thickness of the first warp section is continuously and contactlessly measured during a learning phase that follows the starting phase, or during the starting phase. For that purpose, a winding thickness measurement arrangement is held at a predetermined, substantially constant distance from the surface of the warp layer that has just been wound.

Abstract: An arrangement can produce short warps, in particular for woven patterns in which threads (1) of different colors are wound onto a winding arrangement in single layers next to each other and sequentially with respect to each other. The arrangement has positioned at one end face (8) of the winding arrangement a thread laying device (4), which rotates around the circumferential contour of the winding arrangement (2). At least one thread (1) is pulled from a spool (14) in a spool magazine (12) and laid off onto a feed arrangement (16) located on the circumference of the winding arrangement (2) in a winding plane. This feed arrangement transports the wound up thread sheet perpendicular to the winding plane by an amount corresponding to the wind growth. The thread sheet, obtained as an endless sheet band in the direction transverse to the winding direction, can be cut open after completion of the thread warp.

Abstract: Separate drive motors (30, 35) for the positioning of the warping carriage (25) in the X-, respectively the Y-direction, are provided on a cone section warping machine. In addition to that, separate servo signals for both the servo motors (30, 35) are generated, whereby not only the absolute value of the servo signals but also their relationship to one another is stored and is able to be corrected through correction values. For the correction, a program control device (62) and/or a regulator (67), respectively correction circuits (64, 66), are provided.

Abstract: On the warping machine (12) the width (11) of the yarn strip (10) is continuously monitored by means of a line camera (25). The measured strip width is compared in a processor (32) to a stored reference value, with deviations forming a control signal for activating a control motor (35) at the warping reed (9). That ensures continuous strip width regulation, at full winding speed.

Abstract: A beaming machine (beamer) suitable to run any common width beam for Raschel-type knitting machines, having three beams or heads with individual traverse settings so that different yarn end counts can be simultaneously wound on each beam. Uniform yarn tension is obtained at each beam by a series of two rollers positioned between the beam and the yarn creel over which each yarn end must pass. An evenly wound beam is thereby obtained for each of the three beams. Doffing time is minimized by the tensioning rollers in conjunction with pigtail-shaped yarn end guides mounted on one of a plurality of reeds adapted for the various end counts capable of being wound by the machine. Yarn breakage is detected by the breaking of a light beam in conjunction with an air sheet generated from an air slit for each beam. An air sheet is directed toward each yarn sheet so as to blow any broken yarn end across the light beam and thereby electronically initiate a shut-down of the beamer.

Abstract: A bobbin winding machine in which a plurality of individual strands are withdrawn from separate single end supply spools and guided to a location where they are simultaneously wrapped about the outer periphery of a metering wheel. The strands leave the metering wheel in the form of a band of contiguous strands of equal length which are then caused to pass through a positioning device that is effective in maintaining equal length of the individual strands from the band. The positioning device provides a line of pivot which is common to each of the strands during swinging movement of the band by a traversing apparatus spaced from the positioning device which includes elements mounted thereon for guiding and presenting the band to a rotatably driven bobbin for the purpose of building a band package thereon.
