Techniques are directed to a method and a device for monitoring a yarn tension of a running yarn in a yarn treatment process. To this end, the yarn tension of the yarn is continuously measured and the measurement signals for the yarn tension are compared with a threshold value of an admissible yarn tension. In the event of an inadmissible tolerance deviation of the measurement signals, a short-term signal path of the yarn tension is detected as a fault graph. In order to enable a fault diagnosis, the fault graph of the yarn tension is analyzed using a machine learning program. The fault graph is then allocated to one of the existing fault categories or to a new fault category. A device for this purpose may include a diagnosis unit, which cooperates accordingly with the yarn tension evaluation unit.

Computer program product, controller, winding machine and method for winding a winding material from a supply device onto a winding body of a winding machine, wherein the winding material is provided from a supply roller and wound onto the winding body via at least one deflection roller, where an actual winding tension of the winding material is set to a setpoint winding tension depending on a position-dependent compensation signal, stored in a storage unit, to compensate for a changeable free length, resulting from a non-circular cross section of the winding material, of the winding material between the deflection roller and the winding body, whereby due to the fact that the actual winding tension is set to the setpoint winding tension via the position-dependent compensation signal, which is already stored in the storage unit prior to the winding, the computational load for the setting can be reduced.

An improved system for handling delicate linear media and in particular to a method and apparatus for winding delicate linear media such as superconducting wire or tape or optical fibers onto a spool or former. A combination of direct closed loop control and media routing design facilitates the handling of the delicate media without causing damage. The axial tension in the linear media may be closely controlled during winding by means of feedback control loop using tension measurements to control the rotation speeds of the wind-from and wind-to spools. Further, during winding, the delicate linear media is only exposed to large radius bends with no reverse bending. Finally, output devices and features, commercial or otherwise, made possible by delicate linear media handling are revealed. This includes advanced SC devices and features.
