Abstract
A warp formed of a multiplicity of parallel filaments is wound on a warp beam by an apparatus having a supply of the warp, a transport roller, and an adjustment roller adjacent the transport roller and movable between a holding position engaging the transport roller and a winding position spaced therefrom. The warp extends from the supply along a path around the transport roller, hen around the adjustment roller, and then around the warp beam. The beam and transport roller are rotated to displace the warp along the path and wind it up on the beam while maintaining the adjustment roller in the winding position. Tension is detected in the warp at least during winding of the warp on the beam and the adjustment roller is displaced during winding of the warp on the beam in a predetermined first direction transverse to the path to increase and decrease the tension to maintain the tension within a predetermined range when the adjustment roller is not in the holding position. The beam and transport roller are arrested to stop winding of the warp and the adjustment roller is pressed in a second direction transverse to the first direction against the transport roller into the holding position to stabilize the stopped warp.
