Abstract
An apparatus and method for winding cables onto a rotatably driven cable drum without gaps, an oncoming cable being wound in a new coil directly next to the preceding coil at the running-on point, and the running-on angle of the cable being corrected if a monitoring device finds a gap between the last coils. A marking that changes over time is applied to the cable by a marking device before it is wound, and in the marking is detected at least in the new coil and the preceding coil, it being possible for the new coil to be differentiated from the preceding coil.

A method for winding cables onto a rotatably driven cable drum without gaps, an oncoming cable being wound in a new coil directly next to the preceding coil at the running-on point, and the running-on angle of the cable being corrected if a monitoring device finds a gap between one or more of the preceding coils, a marking that changes over time is applied to the cable before it is wound, and the marking is detected at least in the new coil and the preceding coil, wherein the marking on the new coil is thermally differentiated from one or more of the preceding coils.
An apparatus for winding cable onto a rotatably driven cable drum without gaps, an oncoming cable being wound in a new coil directly next to the preceding coil at a running-on point, and the running-on angle of the cable being corrected if a monitoring device finds a gap between one or more of the preceding coils, the apparatus including a marking device which applies a marking that changes over time to the cable before it is wound, and a detector device, which detects the state of the marking at least in the new coil and the preceding coil, wherein the marking on the new coil is thermally differentiated from one or more of the preceding coils.
