Glass fiber winding method, glass fiber winding device, and glass fiber winding machine

Abstract

A glass fiber winding method for filaments with a thickness of more than 300 tex, preferably for glass fiber direct rovings, comprises at least one filament transfer step, in which the filament that is to be wound is transferred from a winding spool unit onto a further winding spool unit or vice versa, wherein the winding spool units are operated with different outer-circumferential speeds and/or with different revolution speeds at least during the transfer of the filament between the winding spool units, wherein a ratio of the outer-circumferential speeds and/or of the revolution speeds of the winding spool units is selected in such a way that, when the filament is brought into contact with a free winding spool unit of the winding spool units which before the transfer of the filament is free of the filament, the filament forms a loop the arc of which points towards an entry point of the free winding spool unit, at which the incoming filament meets the free winding spool unit, wherein the formation of the loop is assisted by a blowing device and/or by a spraying device, wherein the blowing device and/or the spraying device are/is oriented in such a way that an output direction of a blowing medium and/or of a spraying medium points at least substantially to the open side of the loop and/or points into the loop.
