Abstract
A method of winding a web band in a machine for processing printing materials, including controlling the winding as a function of a diameter of a roll formed by the web band, as the diameter changes during the winding, includes determining, by a first sensor fastened to a frame of the machine, the position of a peripheral surface of the roll relative to the frame of the machine, and determining, by a second sensor fastened to the frame of the machine, the position of one of a center of the roll and of a peripheral surface of a spindle carrying the roll, relative to the frame of the machine; a winding device for performing the method; and a printing-material processing machine, such as a printing press, having the winding device.
