Abstract:
A method of winding a continuously advancing yarn to form a cross wound package, comprising the steps ofreciprocating the advancing yarn by means of a traversing yarn guide which defines a traverse stroke and so as to deposit the yarn on the package, controlling the traverse stroke of the traversing yarn guide within the package width so that at the beginning of the winding cycle the traverse stroke has a maximum predetermined length and at the end of the winding cycle the traverse stroke has a predetermined end length for defining a desired angle of slope of the end faces of the package, and wherein the length of the traverse stroke is varied as a function of a predetermined stroke function which associates in the course of the winding cycle a certain length to each traverse stroke, with the length of the traverse strokes within an intermediate range of the package diameter being less than the respectively final wound package widths.
