In a method for winding a yarn onto a spool body, the conical spool body is driven about a longitudinal axis by a first drive unit. A yarn is guided onto the spool body by a reciprocating yarn guide thereby winding the yarn onto the spool body. A constant yarn winding speed is provided along the length of the spool body during the entire yarn winding process by adjusting the revolutions per minute of the spool body synchronously with a movement of the reciprocating yarn guide. The revolutions per minute are controlled by a computing and control unit based on the instant position of the reciprocating yarn guide and the diameter of the spool body at the instant position. The device for performing this method has a sensor for detecting the changing diameter of the spool body, and the reciprocating yarn guide has a detection device for detecting the instant position of the reciprocating yarn guide.

Method and device for winding yarn onto a conical spool body

In a method for a contact-free energy and signal transmission for a textile machine between a first stationary part and a second stationary part separated by an air gap, wherein at least one component consisting of an electrically non-conducting material is moved through the air gap, wherein an alternating current signal of a frequency of at least 10 kHz is inductively transmitted by a transformer, having a primary side arranged at the first stationary part and a secondary side arranged at the second stationary part, wherein the primary side and the secondary side are separated by the air gap, a transformer is employed having only one coil pair. Energy and signals are transmitted via the one coil pair by a common carrier signal. The carrier signal provides energy transmission. The signals to be transmitted are imprinted onto the carrier signal as a frequency modulation such that the carrier signal jumps between two frequency values having a fixed spacing. The frequency jumps are evaluated at the secondary side as bit-serial signals, and control signals are generated from the bit-serial signals.
