Description

[0001] The invention relates to a placement aid device for applying a plurality of synthetic threads, an associated placement aid method and a winding device with the placement aid device and / or the placement aid method.

[0002] Winding devices with devices for distributing synthetic threads in the associated winding device are known from the general state of the art.

[0003] DE10347783A1 discloses a winding device for winding multiple threads into a spool and a method for the initial application of a thread sheet in such a winding device. In order to wind the threads onto multiple tubes held on a rotatably mounted winding spindle, a stationary distribution mechanism is provided for positioning the threads from a respective collecting position to a feeder position assigned to the tubes, and a movable feeder mechanism is provided for deflecting the threads into a catching position. The distribution mechanism and the feeder mechanism for initial application and catching of the threads interact with a suction device. In order to ensure the most gentle thread guidance possible, after the threads have been distributed into a feeder position assigned to the tubes, the threads are transferred from the distribution mechanism to the feeder mechanism, which deflects the threads into a catching position.

[0004] DE102005005129B4 discloses and claims a device for winding a plurality of yarn sheets with two winding devices arranged side by side in mirror image, each of which has a winding revolver with two cantilevered, rotatably mounted winding spindles and which each winds one of the yarn sheets into bobbins, wherein the winding revolvers and the winding spindles can be driven and controlled independently of one another by associated drives and control devices, wherein an auxiliary device is arranged between the winding devices, by means of which a thread application and / or bobbin change can be carried out on the winding devices and which can be controlled by the control device of one of the winding devices.The auxiliary device has a plurality of movable guide means associated with the winding devices, wherein the guide means can be guided jointly by an associated drive and the guide means are formed by two push-off forks associated with the winding devices for pushing off finished wound spools.

[0005] A problem with the auxiliary device for applying synthetic threads to winding devices is that applying the thread sheet or the plurality of synthetic threads to the winding spindles is particularly difficult and time-consuming. This is particularly complex with mirror-symmetrically arranged winding devices, since the application area on the winding spindles is also concealed by the mirror-symmetrically arranged winding device.

[0006] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an auxiliary application device for applying a plurality of synthetic threads, an associated auxiliary application method and a winding device by means of which the above-mentioned problems can be avoided or at least reduced.

[0007] With regard to the application aid device, this object is achieved according to the invention with an application aid device having the features of claim 1.

[0008] According to one aspect of the invention, an auxiliary application device for applying a plurality of synthetic threads to a plurality of winding positions in a traversing device of a winding device is provided, wherein the auxiliary application device comprises a first distribution device for distributing the plurality of threads to a plurality of traversing positions, which is located above the traversing device in the thread running direction, and a second distribution device for distributing the plurality of threads to a plurality of winding positions for distributing the plurality of threads to a plurality of winding positions, which is located below the traversing device in the thread running direction, wherein a convergence application device is positioned below the second distribution device in the thread running direction, which is configured to form a convergence point,wherein the convergence point can be positioned three-dimensionally relative to the winding device by means of the convergence application device.

[0009] The auxiliary tuyere device makes it possible to tuyere a plurality of synthetic yarns semi-automatically and / or automatically at the corresponding traversing and winding positions using a convergent tuyere device. This is particularly advantageous when the tuyere device has two winders, one right-hand winder and one left-hand winder, which are arranged in such a way that tuyere at the second distribution device is difficult and time-consuming for an operator to perform.

[0010] The convergence application device helps in particular to be able to apply the threads to the winding positions on the second distribution device more safely and easily, in that the convergence application device has a convergence point which can be positioned in a three-dimensional manner, so that the convergence point can be adjusted or positioned in the necessary position in order to bring the synthetic thread to the respective position, so that application can be made at the winding positions which are predetermined by the second distribution device.

[0011] According to another embodiment of the application aid device, the convergence point can be moved by means of the convergence application device into a parking position for parking the convergence application device at the application aid device, into a tilting position for tilting the convergence application device away from the winding device and into a laying position for laying the plurality of synthetic threads on the second distribution device.

[0012] Because the convergence application device is three-dimensionally positionable and movable, different positions relative to the winding device and in particular to the second distribution device can be assumed by the convergence application device or the convergence point relevant for the application of the synthetic threads.

[0013] For example, the convergence feed device can be moved into a parking position. In the parking position, the convergence feed device is positioned on the winding device in such a way that its components are moved together and pivoted in such a way that the winding device can be operated without problems and without collision with the moving components of the winding device.

[0014] For example, the winding spools must be removed from the winding device or doffed.

[0015] In the parking position, this can be done easily and without being blocked by the convergence mooring device.

[0016] In addition, the winding device or its control is designed in such a way that operation of the winding device and the associated winding of the synthetic threads into winding spools is only possible when the convergence feed device is in the parking position.

[0017] To create and form a convergence, a collection of all synthetic threads at one point using the convergence point, the convergence application device must be placed in a tilted position. In the tilted position, the convergence application device is tilted away from the winding device at a predetermined angle and degree. The tilt angle can range from 20 to 50°, depending on how far the convergence application device needs to be tilted to provide convergence.

[0018] In the application position, the convergence point is pivoted into a application position so that a kind of fan is formed from the synthetic threads to be applied, which are gathered at the convergence point, so that the second distribution device and its thread grippers can each grasp a thread from the thread fan for application to the winding position.

[0019] According to a further embodiment of the mooring aid device, the convergence mooring device has a guide gear for pivoting the convergence point from the parking position into the mooring position and a tilting gear for tilting the convergence mooring device into the tilting position, wherein the pivoting of the convergence point into the mooring position can be carried out before, during and / or after the tilting of the convergence mooring device.

[0020] A guide gear and a tilting gear are provided to guide the convergence point into the desired position.

[0021] The guide gear essentially comprises struts coupled to one another, which enable the convergence point to be guided precisely to the desired position.

[0022] In addition, for a further degree of freedom of movement, the convergence application device has a tilting gear with which the convergence application device can be tilted into a predetermined tilting position, wherein the tilting angle is also variable in design, so that the optimal tilting angle for applying the threads at the convergence point is possible in each case.

[0023] This tilt angle can range from 0 degrees to 90 degrees in extreme cases.

[0024] In particular, the 90° tilt angle can be useful, for example, for servicing the convergence mooring device.

[0025] The tilting gear has a rotation axis for tilting and a base plate and a swivel plate which are articulated to the swivel axis, so that the entire convergence mooring device can be tilted easily.

[0026] According to a further embodiment of the mooring aid device, the guide gear and / or the tilting gear has a drive which is automatically controllable and / or adjustable, wherein the guide gear can be set up to pivot the convergence point by a pivot angle in the range from 0 to 45°, in particular from 0 to 89°, wherein the tilting gear can be set up to tilt the convergence mooring device by a tilt angle in the range from 0 to 50°, in particular from 0 to 90°.

[0027] Depending on the application, the guide gear and / or the tilting gear can have their own or shared drive, so that the respective position can be automatically controlled by the control system of the winding device during the application process.

[0028] The control system can do this purely by means of a control system in which the respective positions are assumed within a predetermined time and / or this can be monitored in conjunction with sensors so that a control is possible in order to assume the respective position only when the sensor has detected the corresponding positions of the convergence feed device and / or the winding device.

[0029] In addition, the guide gear and the tilting gear are each configured such that predetermined pivoting angles and / or tilting angles can be assumed by the convergence application device itself and / or by the associated convergence point.

[0030] The respective angles can range from 0 to 45°, 0 to 90°, whereby intermediate angles are also possible in the respective ranges, so that the convergence application device can always be optimally adjusted and the application process can be adjusted to the respective case situation.

[0031] According to a further embodiment of the docking aid device, the guide gear has a pivot arm on which a first gear strut with a convergence point mounting section and a second gear strut are pivotally mounted on a gear coupling with the drive such that the pivot arm can be pivoted from the parking position into the docking position and back.

[0032] The guide gear has a main swivel arm on which gear struts are mounted to guide the convergence point, which are connected to a gear coupling in such a way that the swivel arm moves the convergence point to the predetermined mooring position when swiveling into the parking position and into the mooring position.

[0033] According to a further embodiment of the mooring aid device, the guide gear and / or the tilting gear has a monitoring sensor for monitoring the current position of the guide gear and / or the tilting gear.

[0034] The monitoring sensor can be used to monitor and / or control the position of the guide gear and / or the tilt gear.

[0035] This allows the optimal position of the guide gear and tilt gear to be reported to the winding device's control system at all times. Furthermore, appropriate control is also possible if the guide gears and tilt gears can communicate with the associated drives and the data from the associated monitoring sensor is communicated to the control system of the guide gear or tilt gear in an analyzable manner to regulate their positions.

[0036] The object with regard to the application aid method is achieved according to the invention with an application aid method having the features according to claim 7.

[0037] According to one aspect of the invention, a placement aid method for applying a plurality of synthetic threads to a plurality of traversing positions in a traversing device of a winding device is provided, in particular with a placement aid device according to at least one of the preceding embodiments, wherein the placement aid method comprises the steps: - Distributing the plurality of synthetic threads by means of the first distribution device in the plurality of traversing positions, - Tilting the convergence feed device into the tilting position, - Inserting the majority of synthetic threads into the convergence point, - Tilting the convergence application device into the parking position, - Swiveling the swivel arm into the docking position, - Distributing the plurality of threads by means of the second distribution device into the plurality of winding positions, - Tilting the convergence feeder with the swivel arm swung out into the tilting position, - Rotating a winding spindle into the winding position, - applying the plurality of threads by means of the second distribution device into the plurality of winding positions on the winding spindle, - Tilting the convergence feeder and swiveling the swivel arm back to the parking position,

[0038] The auxiliary tuyere process allows for the easy tuyere application of synthetic yarns at the traversing and winding positions without the operator having to intervene in the tuyere process, especially when tuyere is applied to the winding positions. This is particularly advantageous if the tuyere area at the winding positions is concealed by a second winding device or other element, such as a wall.

[0039] This ensures that even if access to the winding positions is restricted or obscured, particularly in the direction of extension of the winding device, the synthetic threads can be safely applied.

[0040] Rotating the winding spindle into the winding position means, in particular, rotating the winding spindle into the winding position by means of the winding turret.

[0041] According to a further embodiment of the application aid method, after the plurality of threads have been distributed by means of the second distribution device, the plurality of winding positions of the pivot arm are pivoted.

[0042] The auxiliary mooring method can also be designed in such a way that additional movements of the convergence mooring device are possible in order to be able to carry out any necessary movements even within the process steps.

[0043] According to a further embodiment of the mooring aid method, before the convergence mooring device is tilted back into the parking position, the swivel arm is swiveled back into its parking position.

[0044] This may be necessary to ensure that when the convergence feed device is tilted back, nearby objects or operators are not pulled along during the feed process on the winding device.

[0045] This measure can also be triggered by appropriate sensors if objects or operators are within the swivel range of the swivel arm in order to avoid accidents.

[0046] The object with regard to the winding device is achieved with a winding device having the features according to claim 10.

[0047] According to one aspect of the invention, a winding device for winding a plurality of synthetic threads is provided, comprising a first distribution device and a second distribution device and a winding revolver for rotating a first winding spindle and a second winding spindle into a winding position into a doffing position, wherein the application of the synthetic threads to the respective winding spindle can be carried out by means of the application aid device according to at least one of the previous embodiments and / or at least with an application aid method according to at least one of the previous embodiments, wherein the winding device has a right-hand winder, a left-hand winder, a combination of two right-hand winders or two left-hand winders and / or a combination of a right-hand winder and a left-hand winder.

[0048] The winding device can have only a right-hand winder, only a left-hand winder or a corresponding combination of only right-hand winders, only left-hand winders and / or a combination of a right-hand winder and a left-hand winder.

[0049] A right-hand winder is understood in particular to mean a winding device in which the rotation of the winding turret is clockwise, and in a left-hand winder the rotation of the winding turret is carried out counterclockwise, whereby the direction of view towards the winding turret must be taken into account in each case.

[0050] According to another embodiment of the winding device, the winding device has a right-hand winder and a left-hand winder which are arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another, wherein the application aid device is designed correspondingly on the right-hand winder and on the left-hand winder.

[0051] The application aid device is arranged according to the direction of rotation of the right-hand winder and the left-hand winder in such a way that the convergence point can also be arranged in the correct position of the right-hand winder and the left-hand winder.

[0052] This can lead to different directions of movement of the auxiliary application device, in particular of the convergence application device, particularly in the case of a combination of a right-hand winder and a left-hand winder, whereby the convergence application device must be arranged accordingly.

[0053] The application aid device according to the invention is explained in more detail below using some embodiments of the application aid device with reference to the attached figures.

[0054] They represent: Fig. 1 schematically shows a front view of a first embodiment of a winding device with the application aid device according to the invention, wherein a convergence application device of the application aid device is shown in a parking position, Fig. 2 schematically shows a side view according to section AA of the Fig. 1, wherein the convergence feed device is shown in a tilting position, Fig. 3 a front view of the convergence mooring device in the parking position, Fig. 4 a side view of the Fig. 3 shown convergence application device in the tilt position and a swivel position, Fig. 5 a front view of the convergence mooring device in a mooring position with the pivoting position, and Fig. 6 a block diagram of the method steps of a mooring aid method with the mooring aid device according to the invention.

[0055] In the Fig. 1 to Fig. For better orientation and visual representation, a reference coordinate system XYZ is shown in Figure 5, where the X-direction indicates the length of the winding device, the Y-direction the width of the winding device, and the Z-direction the height of the winding device. The reference coordinate system in Fig. 1 is the reference origin for the Fig. 2 to 5.

[0056] Fig. Figure 1 shows a front view of a winding device 1. The winding device 1 is shown mirror-symmetrically as a right-hand winder 90 and a left-hand winder 100. The right-hand winder 90 has essentially the same components as the left-hand winder 100, with the exception of a drawing field 10 and the associated godets 11 and 12.

[0057] Otherwise, the right-hand winder 90 is identical to the left-hand winder 100, the components being arranged and designed in a mirror-symmetrical manner so that the synthetic threads F can be wound on the right-hand winder 90 or the left-hand winder 100.

[0058] In the following, essentially only one side of the winding device, either the left-hand winder 100 or the right-hand winder 90, is described. Identical components of the right-hand winder 90 and the left-hand winder 91 are identified by the same reference numerals. For example, the right-hand winder 90 and the left-hand winder 100 each have a winding spindle 51.

[0059] For a better and simpler presentation, for example, Fig. 1 shows the winding spindle device 50 of the winder 90. The same component shown for the left-hand winder is shown in Fig. 1 without a corresponding reference symbol.

[0060] As already mentioned above, the winding device 1 is provided with two winding devices arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another. However, the inventive positioning aid device is also applicable to a winding device 1 having only one right-hand winder 90 or only one left-hand winder 100. The inventive positioning aid device is particularly advantageous for the winding device 1 because the positioning area, particularly in the X direction in the extension direction of the associated winding spindles 51, 52, is covered by the left-hand winder 100, and vice versa.

[0061] The application aid device according to the invention facilitates the application of the threads, in particular at the winding positions of the winding spindles 51, 52, and allows a safe and uncomplicated application and winding of the synthetic threads F.

[0062] For the sake of simplicity, the winding device 1 is essentially described below using the right-hand winder 90.

[0063] The right-hand winder of the winding device 1 has a drawing field 10 on which a first godet 11 and a second godet 12 for drawing off and transporting the synthetic threads F are movably arranged.

[0064] The synthetic thread, which is preferably extruded from a plastic melt in a melting device to form synthetic threads, is drawn off by the godets 11 and 12 and then wound onto winding spools 8 by means of the winding device 1.

[0065] The winding spools 8 are wound on sleeves 9, which are releasably wound on the first winding spindle 51 or second winding spindle 52.

[0066] The first and second winding spindles 51, 52 are rotatably mounted on a rotatable winding turret 53. The first winding spindle 51 is in the so-called winding position WP, in which the synthetic thread F can be wound onto the tube 9 to form a winding bobbin 8.

[0067] The winding spindle 52 is in the so-called doffing position DP, in which the completely wound winding bobbin 8 can be removed and the winding spindle 52 can be reloaded with an empty tube 9.

[0068] The winding positions SP.1 to SP.n are shown in a side view in Fig. 2, as well as the wound bobbins 8 on the first winding spindle 51.

[0069] The winding turret 53 is rotatable by means of a drive 56 such that the first winding spindle 51 or the second winding spindle 52 can be rotated into the winding position WP or into the doffing position DP.

[0070] The first winding spindle 51 has a first winding spindle drive 54, which rotates the first winding spindle 51 at a predetermined speed to wind the synthetic threads. The same applies to the second winding spindle 52, which has its own associated second winding spindle drive 55.

[0071] The winding of the synthetic thread F into a winding spool 8 occurs through the interaction of the first and second winding spindles 51 and 52 and their rotation, a contact roller 54, and a traversing device 30. The contact roller 40 is pivotally mounted on the winding device by means of a pivot arm 41 and detects and rotates the rotational movement of the winding spool via a pivot bearing 42. This detected rotational movement can be used to control and regulate the winding device 1, in particular the rotation of the first and second winding spindles 51, 52, in order to account for the growth of the winding spool 8 during the winding process.

[0072] In order for the winding spool 8 to receive, for example, a so-called cross winding, a traversing device 30 is provided.

[0073] The traversing device 30 can have a wing traversing device 31 which has a traversing drive 32.

[0074] The traversing drive 32 rotates the wing traversing mechanism 31 in a corresponding direction such that a back and forth movement of the thread F is possible, so that the synthetic thread F is moved back and forth during the winding process and the desired winding spool 8 can be produced.

[0075] In order for the synthetic thread F to be wound onto the winding bobbin 8, the synthetic thread F is laid in the winding device 1 with the aid of a first distribution device 20 to the traversing positions CP.1, CP.2 to CP.n of the traversing device 20 and with the aid of a second distribution device 60 to the winding position SP.1, SP.2, SP.n.

[0076] With the aid of a convergence application device 70, in particular the application of the synthetic threads F to the respective associated winding positions SP.1 to SP.n is supported.

[0077] Fig. Figure 2 shows a side view according to section AA of the inside of the winding device, in particular the left-hand winder 100.

[0078] The left-hand winder 100 is characterized in that, in particular, the winding turret 50 and the winding spindle 51 or 52 are moved counterclockwise when winding the threads F or to change the winding position WP and doffing position DP of the winding spindle 51 or 52.

[0079] In the right-hand winder 90, the winding spindle 51 or 52 or the winding turret 53 are moved clockwise accordingly.

[0080] In Fig. Figure 2 shows in detail the arrangement of the drive motors 54, 55 of the winding spindles 51 and 52 and of the winding turret with respect to the winding device 100. Furthermore, the associated first distribution device 20 and second distribution device 60 with their respective traversing positions CP.1, CP.2 to CP.n and winding positions SP.1, SP.2, SP.n are shown in more detail.

[0081] The first distribution device 20 has a thread guide bar 21 which has a plurality of thread guides 22 which can be moved into the associated traversing positions CP.1 to CP.n.

[0082] In Fig. 2 shows in detail that each traversing position CP.1 to CP.n has its associated thread guide 22.1 to 22.n.

[0083] The first to n-th thread guides 22.1 to 22.n are movable along the thread guide bar 21 and can be moved into the associated traversing position 22.1 to 22.n and can be moved together adjacent to an end section of the guide bar 21 in order to move the individual threads F to the respective traversing position CP.1 to CP.n.

[0084] In the thread running direction FR, the traversing device 30 follows with the individual wing traversers 31 and the associated traversing drives 32. After the traversing device 30 follows the contact roller 40, which helps to carry out the laying of the respective threads F on the surface of the winding bobbin 8 when winding the winding bobbin 8.

[0085] The second distribution device 60 is provided to guide and support the threads F distributed by the first distribution device 20 at the traversing positions CP1 to CP.n to the associated winding spindle positions SP1 to SP.n. The second distribution device 60 is also understood as a lower changing device and can be moved back and forth in its position toward and away from the winding spindle 51, 52 in the winding position and supports the application of the associated threads F to the associated winding positions SP1 to SP.n of the respective winding spindle 51 or 52. The winding spindle positions SP1 to SP.n are also defined by the sleeves 9 detachably mounted on the winding spindle 51 or second winding spindles 52.

[0086] First, the thread F must be applied to the tube 9. The second distribution device 60 assists in this process with the thread catchers 63.1 to 63.2 movably mounted on the distribution device 60. The thread catchers 63.1 to 63.2 are movably mounted on a bar pivot arm 62, so that the first to nth thread catchers 63.1 to 63.n can be moved to the corresponding first to nth winding positions SP.1 to SP.n or the corresponding catching positions on the corresponding tubes 8.

[0087] The application of the synthetic threads F to the second distribution device 60 and the associated thread catchers 63.1 to 63.n is supported by the convergence application device 70, which is in a tilting position KP or a pivoting position SP in Fig. 2 is shown.

[0088] The convergence application device 70 is movable three-dimensionally relative to the winding device 1 to support the application process on the second distribution device 20.

[0089] These three-dimensional movement spaces contain various attachment and tilting positions.

[0090] In Fig. 2 shows the convergence application device in the tilting position KP.

[0091] In Fig. 3, the convergence application device 70 is shown in the parking position PP.

[0092] In the parking position PP, the convergence feed device 70 is moved together and pivoted in such a way that a safe operation of the doffing process DP - the removal of the winding spools 8 - and the winding process WP - the winding of the winding spools 8 - can be carried out on the winding device 1.

[0093] The winding process on the winding device 1 is also only started when a monitoring sensor 85, which can monitor the position of the convergence feed device 70 and its associated components, detects that the convergence feed device 70 is in the parking position PP.

[0094] The monitoring sensor 85 forwards the data and the received signals to a controller of the winding device 1 via a sensor connection 34. The data lines connectable to the sensor connection 34 are not shown in the figures.

[0095] The embodiment of the convergence application device 70, which is shown in the Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, has a tilting foot 78 to which a pivoting arm 73 is mounted via a joint 80.

[0096] A first articulated gear strut 74.1 and a second articulated gear strut 74.2 are articulatedly mounted on the pivot arm 73, also via joints 80.

[0097] The pivot arm 73, together with the first articulated gear strut 74.1 and the second articulated gear strut 74.2, forms a guide gear 81, by means of which a convergence point 71, which is mounted on a support section 72 of the first articulated gear strut 74.1 at a distance from a joint 80 of the pivot arm 73, can be moved into the pivot position SP or application position AP.

[0098] The convergence point 71 is preferably hook-shaped and is provided for collecting the plurality of synthetic threads F, so that a so-called convergence or collection of the synthetic threads F can be carried out. At the convergence point 71, the fan-shaped synthetic threads F are gathered in the application position AP, so that the thread catchers 63.1 - 63.n of the second laying device 60 can each successively catch a synthetic thread F and move it to the associated winding position SP1 to SP.n.

[0099] The guide gear 81 is driven by a gear drive 77 into the parking position PP and into the application position PA, as shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 shown, pivotable.

[0100] A stop 83 is provided above the gear drive 77, which prevents the swivel arm 83 from being moved back too far in the parking position PP and possibly colliding with its mirror-symmetrically arranged neighbor.

[0101] In the embodiment shown, the gear drive 77 is a pneumatic drive which is supplied with the appropriate pneumatic fluid quantity via drive connections 82 in order to bring the swivel arm 73 into the parking position PP or application position AP.

[0102] Furthermore, the convergence application device 70 is also in a tilting position KP as in Fig. 4. For this purpose, the tilting foot 78 is provided with a tilting gear 79. The tilting gear 79 has a joint about which the tilting foot 78 of the convergence application device 70 can be pivoted from the parking position PP to the tilting position KP.

[0103] The tilting of the convergence application device 70 can also be carried out when the pivot arm 73 is not in the pivot position SP or application position AP.

[0104] Fig. 6 shows in a block diagram the method steps of an auxiliary application method for applying a plurality of synthetic threads to a plurality of winding positions SP1 to SP.n in the traversing device 30 and a second distribution device 60 arranged below the traversing device 30 with the aid of the convergence application device 70.

[0105] In a first step S1, the plurality of synthetic threads F are distributed by means of the first distribution device 20 into the associated traversing positions CP1 to CP.n.

[0106] In step S2, the convergence application device 70 is tilted into the tilt position KP.

[0107] Then, in step S3, the synthetic threads F distributed in the traversing positions CP.1 - CP.n are combined and placed in the convergence point 71 of the convergence application device 70.

[0108] Then, the convergence application device 70 is tilted back to the parking position PP in step S4.

[0109] In step S5, the swivel arm is swiveled into the application position AP.

[0110] As a result, the synthetic threads F are stretched out in a fan-like manner and in step S6 the plurality of threads F are distributed by means of the second distribution device 60 into the plurality of winding positions SP1 to SP.n.

[0111] In step 7, the convergence feed device 70 is tilted with the swivel arm pivoted out into the tilt position KP in order to avoid a collision with the winding spindle 51 or 52.

[0112] Then, in step S8, the winding spindle 51 or 52 is rotated to the winding position WP.

[0113] In step S9, the plurality of threads F are applied by means of the second distribution device 60 into the plurality of winding positions SP.1 - SP.n on the winding spindle 51 or 52. Previously, the winding spindle 51 or 52 has been set in rotation at a predetermined speed.

[0114] When applied to the tubes 9 on the winding spindle 51 or 52, the threads F located below the winding positions SP.1 - SP.n are cut by cutting devices on the second distribution device 60.
