Abstract

The invention relates to a winding device for winding strand-like material to be wound onto a rotating reel (2), which winding device has a laying apparatus (9) by means of which the material to be wound is guided to the run-on point on the winding. The laying apparatus (9) is substantially movable in the direction of the axis of rotation (3) of the reel (2). Furthermore the winding device (1) has at least one sensor for determining the run-on angle of the material to be wound onto the winding. The winding device (1) is designed in such a way that the movement of the laying apparatus (9) during the winding process is regulated as a function of the run-on angle determined by means of the at least one sensor. According to the invention the distance between the run-off point at which the material to be wound leaves the laying apparatus (9) and the run-on point during the winding process at least at times is at most four times, preferably at most twice, more preferably at most equal to the diameter of the material to be wound. Due to this small distance, a good winding of the reel is achieved, in which the individual turns rest against one another. In particular the “crossing over” of individual turns is avoided and the material to be wound is treated carefully.

Dependent claims

A winding device for winding strand-like coilable material onto a rotating spool,

comprising a traverse mechanism by means of which the coilable material is guided to a run-on point at which the coilable material enters a spooling on the spool and which is substantially movable in a direction of a rotational axis of the spool,
further comprising at least one sensor for determining a run-on angle of the coilable material between a perpendicular on the rotational axis of the spool and a run-on axis along which the coilable material enters onto the spooling on the spool,
wherein the winding device is designed such that a displacement of the traverse mechanism during a winding process is regulated as a function of the run-on angle determined by the at least one sensor,
wherein a distance between a run-off point, at which the coilable material leaves the traverse mechanism, and the run-on point amounts, at least intermittently, to no more than quadruple a diameter of the coilable material during the winding process,
wherein the traverse mechanism comprises a traverse lance along which the coilable material is guided to the run-on point on the spooling,
wherein the traverse lance is in itself movable in a plane which comprises the run-on axis and which is parallel to the rotational axis of the spool, and
wherein the traverse lance is of multi-part configuration and at least two of its parts are movably connected together.
