A method and apparatus for simplified control of an automatic yarn winder to enable production of as many full yarn packages as possible. A predetermined total number of full packages to be produced is divided by the number of winding stations of the automatic winder. In the event that the quotient is not an integer, it is rounded off up and down for each winding station to an integer within an upper and a lower limit value with the sum of all the rounded-off values being equal to the predetermined number. The winding stations are taken out of operation individually as each station's rounded-off value is reached. The automatic winder has a detector for detecting the number of finished packages per winding station and memory locations for storing the detected number. An input device for inputting the predetermined values for the respective predetermined number of packages of the various winding stations is coupled with a circuit for deactuating winding stations once the value is reached. The automatic winder advantageously has a closed transport system for carriers on which yarn supply cops or tubes are mounted.
A method for producing a predetermined total number of full yarn packages on an automatic textile yarn winder comprising a plurality of winding stations each having a respective yarn supply, said method comprising the steps of determining for each individual winding station a respective predetermined number of full yarn packages to be wound at the individual winding station and individually deactuating each winding station and the respective yarn supply after the respective predetermined number of full yarn packages is wound at the individual winding station, wherein the respective predetermined numbers of full yarn packages for the plural winding stations is determined by dividing the predetermined total number of full yarn packages by the number of winding stations of the automatic textile yarn winder and, in the event that the quotient is not an integer, rounding off the quotient up or down respectively for each individual winding station to a respective integer within an upper and a lower limit value, each individual winding station's respective rounded-off integer representing the respective predetermined number of full yarn packages to be wound thereat, the sum of all the rounded-off integers being equal to the predetermined total number of yarn packages.
In an automatic textile yarn winder having a plurality of winding stations each having a respective yarn supply, apparatus for producing a predetermined total number of full yarn packages on the automatic textile yarn winder comprising:
