Abstract:
A method for producing a roll from printed products in a winding operation, the method comprising the steps of:winding the printed products with winding tape onto a winding core with an underside in a manner of scaled flow, wherein the winding tape has ends and one end of the winding tape is attached to the winding core; driving a winding rug with a first drive, wherein the winding rug is arranged on the underside of the winding core and fitted against the winding core for rotating the winding core; driving a winding tape supply with a second drive, wherein the winding tape has a diameter and is unwound from the winding tape supply; and maintaining a predetermined tape tension during the winding operation, including measuring at least one of speed and distance with measurement devices for each of the first drive and second drive to obtain measured values, computing the diameter of the winding tape supply from the measured values, and regulating a rotational moment of the winding tape supply with the computed diameter of the winding tape supply to maintain the tape tension.
