Abstract
Process for winding a reel and a reel winding apparatus, as well as a measuring apparatus. The process includes determining the driving forces at the locations of the introduction of the driving force onto the reel, and determining a difference between the driving forces. The reel winding apparatus includes at least first and second drive mechanisms arranged to act on a reel to be wound, a measuring system, coupled to the at least first and second drive mechanisms, that includes a force transducer arranged in a vicinity of an introduction of force into the reel, and an evaluation device coupled to the force transducer. The measuring apparatus is provided for measuring a difference in peripheral forces between at least first and second drive elements in a reel winding device. The apparatus includes first and second contacts adapted to contact the first and second drive elements, respectively, and a transducer coupled to the first and second contacts.
