An apparatus for controlling the roving winding speed in a roving frame, in which a roving position detecting unit detects central positions of vibration of the roving in the vertical direction while suspended between a front roller of the drafting device and a flyer top by means of a plurality of photoelectric sensors. An average central vertical position of the vibrating roving is computed from the values measured by the roving position detecting unit, and a correction amount of the rotation speed of a bobbin is computed from the difference between the average central position and a desired value for controlling the roving winding speed and from a correction coefficient. A correction signal is generated corresponding to the correction amount, and the rotation speed of the bobbin is regulated based on the correction signal.
An apparatus for controlling the winding speed of a roving in a roving frame during a winding operation, which comprises means for detecting the positions of said roving with respect to the vertical direction during vibration created in the portion of said roving suspended between a front roller of a drafting device of said roving frame which delivers said roving and a top of a flyer which performs said winding operation and outputting signals representing values corresponding to said detected positions, means for computing an average central position of said roving in the vertical direction during vibration from the values output by said roving position detecting means, means for computing a correction amount for the rotation speed of a bobbin associated with said flyer, said correction amount being computed from the difference between said average central position and a desired position for controlling the roving winding speed, means for generating a correction signal corresponding to the correction amount computed, and a device for changing the rotation speed of said bobbin in accordance with said correction signal.
