Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A control device for obtaining a uniform or even winding is provided for a winding machine for winding strand-shaped winding material, and includes a first measurement device which detects the position of the last winding to have been wound in each instance, a second measuring device for detecting the relative position of a spool with respect to a strand guide, and a computer for controlling the feed drive for the relative reciprocating traversing movement between the spool and the strand guide.
