Method and apparatus to control the winding pattern on a yarn package

摘要

An apparatus for controlling the winding pattern on a yarn package for traverse winder used for winding elastomeric yarn to prevent repetitive patterns of individual yarn segments on the package includes an apparatus for monitoring the operation of a yarn package spindle, an apparatus for monitoring the operation of a traverse arm associated with a winder, an arrangement for predicting the occurrence of repetitive patterns of yarn strands, and an arrangement for adjusting the relative speed of the yarn package spindle and the traverse arm to prevent the occurrence of thusly predicted repetitive patterns.
