A fiber bundle winding device includes: a traverse guide configured to guide a fiber bundle to a bobbin; and a controller configured to control the traverse guide according to a rotation of the bobbin. The traverse guide is movable parallel to a center axis of the bobbin. The controller can perform: first movement control that moves the traverse guide to wind the fiber bundle onto the bobbin in a predetermined first area extending in a direction of the center axis of the bobbin; and second movement control that moves the traverse guide to wind the fiber bundle onto the bobbin in a second area being smaller than the first area and having ends that are located within the first area and at different positions from respective ends of the first area. The first movement control and second movement control are performed at a ratio of N:1 (N is an integer more than 1).

A system for recovering hose, including a hose receptacle having an open top portion for receiving a hose and attached hose couplings. The system further including a first device having a hose recovery means comprising an upper roller and a lower roller, at least one of the upper or lower rollers being powered, and a lifting arm operably coupled to the upper roller for moving the upper roller between a first position and a second position, the upper roller being closer to the lower roller when in the first position than when in the second position. Additionally, a platform having the first device arranged thereon and capable of moving above the receptacle along a first axis and a second axis to deposit the hose in the receptacle, and a platform moving means for moving the platform along the first axis and the second axis, wherein the first axis has first axis limits and the second axis has second axis limits, the first axis limits and second axis limits being substantially coextensive with dimensions of the open top portion of the hose receptacle.

A take-up winding machine continuously coils a plurality of threads. The take-up winding machine has a plurality of rotatably mounted winding turrets which, in each case, support two protruding winding spindles and which are held beside one another in a machine frame so as to be spaced apart by a pitch. The take-up winding machine further has a plurality of traversing units and a plurality of contact rollers which together with the winding turrets form a plurality of coiling positions. The winding turrets are assigned one common turret drive. The winding turrets are configured so as to be drivable in the same direction. The contact rollers and the traversing units are held on the machine frame along one machine longitudinal side so as to be symmetrical to the pitch of the winding turrets.

A guiding device of an apparatus for producing sanitary articles for applying at least one thread onto a substrate intended for producing these sanitary articles, in which said guiding device is able to guide the thread quickly, accurately, and stably without being subject to wear and contamination problems, while ensuring reduced energy consumption. The present invention also relates to a method for applying a thread onto a substrate intended to produce sanitary articles.

A method of winding bulked continuous filament yarn is disclosed, which enables superior yarn package formation, including higher density packages with excellent shape and yarn takeoff characteristics. The method uses unique helix angles and winding profiles in a non-adjacent and adjacent yarn pattern, achieved by a unique winding control strategy that constantly monitors spindle speed, desired wind ratio, traverse cam speed, and surface speed.

The present invention is an apparatus, system, and method for a low tension application spooler and or coiler system that positively drives the material into the coil and or reel so that the tension is minimum during the winding process.

System for controlling the loading or unloading a cable [2] or the like onto a drum [3], wherein the drum [3] has a known first rotation axis loading or unloading the cable, the system also comprises an imaging means [1] aimed at the cable [2] from a position at a distance from the drum rotation axis, the imaging means [1] being adapted to measure the direction of the cable [2] relative to the rotational axis of the drum. The imaging means can be constituted by a video camera.

A yarn traversing device (11) for a spooling device (4) of a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins (1) comprises a yarn guide (25), which is connected by an endless tensioning means designed as a toothed belt (30) to a single drive (34), wherein the toothed belt (30) rotates in a largely closed housing (23) of the yarn traversing device (11) and is guided by guide wheels (31 or 32) arranged laterally next to a traversing area (B) and a drive wheel (41) connected to the electric motor single drive (34). The guide wheels (31 or 32) each have a smooth running surface (33), which is largely resistant to dirt, over which the toothed belt (30) runs with its toothing (38).
