Abstract
Abstract Yarn sheet tension in a warp beaming operation is controlled by supplying a primary analog correcting signal to the drive of the warp beam based upon ultrasonic measurement of the progressively increasing effective beam diameter and by adding a supplementary proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative (PID) correcting signal thereto based upon detected movements of a movable dancer roll biased into peripheral engagement with the yarn sheet as it is delivered to the warp beam.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A method of controlling tension in a plurality of yarns during delivery in the form of a sheet successively from a driven delivery roller, peripherally about a movable dancer roller, and onto a driven winding core, said method comprising the steps of biasing said dancer roller toward peripheral engagement with the yarn sheet and driving said delivery roller and said winding core at different circumferential speeds to tension the yarn sheet, controlling the driven speed of said delivery roller according to a predetermined control program, ultrasonically determining the actual diameter of the yarn sheet wound on said winding core, producing a primary analog correcting signal representing the yarn sheet diameter, adjusting the driven speed of said winding core in relation to said primary analog correcting signal, detecting movements of said dancer roller, producing a supplementary proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative correcting signal representing detected movements of said dancer roller, said supplementary correcting signal being derived proportionally, integrally and derivatiely from the detected movements of said dancer roller, and adjusting said primary analog correcting signal as a function of said supplementary correcting signal for fine adjusting of the driven speed of said winding core.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
189 words
A method of controlling tension in a plurality of yarns during delivery in the form of a sheet successively from a driven delivery roller, peripherally about a movable dancer roller, and onto a driven winding core, said method comprising the steps of biasing said dancer roller toward peripheral engagement with the yarn sheet and driving said delivery roller and said winding core at different circumferential speeds to tension the yarn sheet, controlling the driven speed of said delivery roller according to a predetermined control program, ultrasonically determining the actual diameter of the yarn sheet wound on said winding core, producing a primary analog correcting signal representing the yarn sheet diameter, adjusting the driven speed of said winding core in relation to said primary analog correcting signal, detecting movements of said dancer roller, producing a supplementary proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative correcting signal representing detected movements of said dancer roller, said supplementary correcting signal being derived proportionally, integrally and derivatiely from the detected movements of said dancer roller, and adjusting said primary analog correcting signal as a function of said supplementary correcting signal for fine adjusting of the driven speed of said winding core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method of controlling tension in a yarn sheet during winding according to claim 1 and characterized further by establishing a predetermined desired residence position for said dancer roller, said supplementary correcting signal being determined for maintaining said dancer roller generally stationary at said residence position.
