Control closely based on sets of winding data of a fiber bundle is performed even if at least one set of the winding data is skipped. A controller includes a data conversion unit, a reference data setting unit, a transfer unit, and a selector. The data conversion unit converts sets of first winding data generated based on winding conditions into sets of second winding data in which a processing order number is associated with information of a state of a winder. The reference data setting unit sets some of the second winding data as sets of reference data in advance. The transfer unit transfers a selected set of the second winding data to the winder, each time a unit time elapses. The selector is able to set an override value that is used for determining a skip number.

A method and system for fabricating a susceptor coil assembly ribbon. An apparatus comprising a tensioning section 100 that provides a predetermined amount of tension to a plurality of susceptor coil assemblies 20, a collimating section 200 that receives the plurality of susceptor coil assemblies 20 from the tensioning section 100 and aligns the plurality of susceptor coil assemblies 20. An impaling section 300 receives the plurality of susceptor coil assemblies 20 aligned by the collimating section 200 and impales the plurality of susceptor coil assemblies 20 into a matrix material 320 so as to fabricate a susceptor coil assembly ribbon 30.

With a method for operating a work station of a spinning machine and/or a winding machine, which has a spinning device (1) for producing a thread (2) or a head for delivering a thread (2) along with a winding device (6) for producing a package (7) on a sleeve (18), the winding device (6) features a swivel-mounted coil holder (8) with a coil plate (9) for receiving the sleeve (18) and for catching the thread (2), a powered winding roller (11) for rotating the sleeve (18) and/or the coil (7) along with a thread traversing device, and the work station is equipped with a first suction nozzle (5) that is directed towards the coil circumference and also with a second suction nozzle (12) that is arranged on the side of the coil plate (9) turned away from the package (7) and is directed essentially counter to the first suction nozzle (5) and is spaced apart from it. The thread (2) is arranged for attachment on an empty sleeve (18) in the two suction nozzles (5, 12), and is stretched between in particular by means of negative pressure in at least the second suction nozzle (12). Subsequently, the thread (2) stretched between the two suction nozzles (5, 12) is captured by a catching device, in order to catch the thread (2) and subsequently wind it onto the sleeve (18). With a corresponding work station of a spinning machine and/or a winding machine, the two suction nozzles (5, 12) are arranged at each other in such a manner that the thread (2) may be arranged for the attachment to an empty sleeve (18) in the two suction nozzles (5, 12) and may be stretched between the two suction nozzles (5, 12) by means of negative pressure in at least the second suction nozzle (12) in such a manner that the stretched thread (2) can be captured between the two suction nozzles (5, 12) by a catching device, in order to catch the thread (2) and subsequently wind it onto the sleeve (18).

A wire body winding device that winds a wire body around a bobbin includes a bobbin pivoting mechanism that pivotally supports and pivots the bobbin, a wire body holding mechanism that holds the wire body, and a wire body moving mechanism configured to move the wire body holding mechanism. When the wire body is pulled out, the wire body moving mechanism moves the wire body holding mechanism between a take-up position where the wire body holding mechanism is capable of holding the wire body and a wire body winding position where the wire body is woundable around the bobbin.

An automated filament spooler for winding and optionally packaging a filament includes an enclosure, a conveyor for conveying an empty spool into the enclosure and for conveying a wound spool from the enclosure, an indexing unit for positioning a feeding hole on the spool at a location for feeding a free end of the filament onto the spool, a filament feeding unit for feeding the free end of the filament through the feeding hole on the spool, a spooling unit for gripping the free end of the filament and rotating the spool to wind the filament onto the spool, and an optional packaging unit for applying a stretch wrap to the wound spool. A method for automatically winding a filament onto a spool includes positioning the feeding hole, feeding the free end of the filament onto the spool, gripping the free end of the filament and rotating the spool.

Method for implementing a correct winding of a wire on a spool (100). The method also comprises a step for calculating the angular speed of a motor (43) displacing the wire dispensing device (40) according to the wire winding step and according to the dancer error, detected by a position sensor (35) that provides an analogical signal with respect to a zero position and to a tolerance value, in order to determine the presence of a possible valley error, or of a possible peak error. In this method, if during the spool winding, a valley error or a peak error is detected, the control device decides whether to slow down or to increase the speed of the wire dispensing device (40) with the aim of filling the depression or skipping the peak.
