Abstract
The method of balancing a changing load of a strip roll orbiting about an axis in a strip winding machine comprises the steps of measuring the changing diameter of the strip roll, converting the measured change into electrical control pulses fed to a reversible variable speed motor moving a counterbalancing weight orbiting about the axis at the other side of the strip roll.

A method of balancing a changing load of a strip roll orbiting about an axis in a strip winding machine, comprising the steps of continuously measuring the changing diameter of the strip roll, and displacing proportionary to the measured change of the diameter a counterbalancing weight orbiting about said axis at the other side of said strip roll.
A strip winding machine, including a stationary frame, a winding head rotating about a first axis, at least one head disk supported in said winding head for rotation about a second axis which is perpendicular to said first axis and being adapted for carrying a strip roll, comprising a device for balancing the changing load of said strip roll, the device including a counterbalancing weight displaceable about a third axis extending perpendicularly to said first axis opposite said second axis;
- means for measuring the change of the diameter of the strip roll during the winding operation and for producing control signals corresponding to the measured change;
- and drive means for said counterbalancing weight controlled by said control signals.
