Abstract:
A process for operating a bobbin creel for a winding system of a warping machine and creel having several winding heads on which several threads are withdrawn jointly by a winding machine from the winding heads, in which at each winding head, as a function of the running length between the winding head and the winding machine, the thread is subjected to a braking force at at least one thread brake, and several threads of the same running length form at least one thread group, wherein:at least at one thread from each thread group with the same running length, an actual value of the thread tension is measured in an area between leaving the creel and winding up on the winding machine; the actual value measured is compared with a specified value; and, in the event of a deviation being determined between the actual value and the specified value, the thread brakes of the group of threads concerned are adjusted in such a way that the actual value approximates the specified value, whereby the thread tension measurement is always effected on individual threads.
