High-speed cross-winding apparatus with two traverse motion devices for winding elongated materials, especially continuous filaments, into packages and embodying a reciprocable thread guide as a first traversing device, and a second traversing device in the form of a roller with spiral, thread-guiding grooves, the first and second traverse motion devices being driven synchronously, and a drive roller for driving the package being driven independently thereof. The grooves of the latter traverse roller have variable depth for winding tension uniformity, and may also temporarily accelerate stroke velocity above the stroke velocity of the first traverse device immediately before and/or after stroke reversal. The groove depth increases from the middle of the roller to a maximum depth preceding the stroke reversal point and then either (a) immediately and continuously decreases in depth or (b) immediately decreases, then increases and then again decreases in depth.
A high speed winding apparatus comprising a traverse device, said traverse device being a rotatably driven, cylindrical, traverse roller with spiral grooves in the cylindrical surface thereof, said spiral grooves being of opposite hand for guiding the thread in traverse strokes thereof and having stroke reversal zones at respective opposite ends of the roller, the spiral grooves having a variable depth which increases progressively from a shallowest segment at or below the surface of the roller in the longitudinal mid-portion of the roller to a point of maximum depth preceding the point of stroke reversal of the respective stroke reversal zones, and the respective spiral grooves then immediately decreasing in depth at a first rate of decrease to about the point of stroke reversal, and thereafter decreasing in depth at a rate of decrease greater than said first rate to a shallowest groove depth in the longitudinal mid-portion of the roller.
A high speed winding apparatus as claimed in claim 2, said spiral grooves being continuous, crossing grooves having their shallowest segments at the longitudinal mid-portion of said roller.
A high speed winding apparatus comprising a traverse device, said traverse device being a rotably driven, cylindrical, traverse roller with spiral grooves in the cylindrical surface thereof, said spiral grooves being of opposite hand for guiding the thread in traverse strokes thereof and having stroke reversal zones at respective opposite ends of the roller, the spiral grooves having a variable depth which increases progressively from a shallowest segment at or below the surface of the roller in the longitudinal mid-portion of the roller to a point of maximum depth preceding the point of stroke reversal of the respective stroke reversal zones, which depth then decreases from said first-mentioned point to a second point preceding said point of stroke reversal, then again increases to a point substantially at the point of stroke reversal, and then again decreases to a shallowest groove depth in the longitudinal mid-portion of said roller.
