Method for implementing a correct winding of a wire on a spool
Method for implementing a correct winding of a wire on a spool (100). The method also comprises a step for calculating the angular speed of a motor (43) displacing the wire dispensing device (40) according to the wire winding step and according to the dancer error, detected by a position sensor (35) that provides an analogical signal with respect to a zero position and to a tolerance value, in order to determine the presence of a possible “valley error”, or of a possible “peak error”. In this method, if during the spool winding, a “valley error” or a “peak error” is detected, the control device decides whether to slow down or to increase the speed of the wire dispensing device (40) with the aim of filling the depression or skipping the peak.
