<p>A device for continuously winding at least one secondary wire around a main wire or winding several secondary wires around each other to form a cable (8). The device includes: a winding apparatus (1) having a rotary cage (12); a feeding apparatus (4); a cable pulling apparatus (7) for pulling the wound cable (8); an optical sensor (5) for optically measuring the angle between the portion of said secondary wire (13) located immediately before the winding point and the longitudinal axis of said cable (8), and for generating an output which is representative of said angle; and an automatic control device (11) for receiving said output from said optical sensor (5) and responding by varying an operating speed of the device so as to keep said angle constant.</p> |
