Abstract

A method for winding a winding material via a brake roller onto a winding body having a non-circular cross section for influencing a tensile force characteristic of the winding material, wherein a torque value is ascertained via a torque balance of the brake roller in dependence on a winding material speed and the ascertained torque value for the drive of the brake roller is specified.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for winding a winding material via a brake roller onto a winding body having a non-circular cross section for influencing a tensile force characteristic of the winding material, the method comprising:
 ascertaining a torque value via a torque balance of the brake roller in dependence on a winding material speed; and   specifying the ascertained torque value for the drive of the brake roller.   
     
     
         2 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a torque characteristic curve as a torque setpoint value and current setpoint value derived therefrom is specified to a current controller for the specification of the ascertained torque value. 
     
     
         3 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a torque limit in the speed control loop is controlled using the ascertained torque value as a variable torque limit value for the specification of the ascertained torque value. 
     
     
         4 . The method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the brake roller is controlled using a specifiable speed. 
     
     
         5 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the speed is specified to be approximately constant or the speed is specified from a speed characteristic. 
     
     
         6 . The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the speed is directed in a direction opposite to an unwinding direction. 
     
     
         7 . The method as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the speed is directed in a direction opposite to an unwinding direction. 
     
     
         8 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the torque value is ascertained via the torque balance with a counteracting tensile force component and an identically acting inertia component. 
     
     
         9 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the winding material speed is ascertained via geometric information relating to the winding body. 
     
     
         10 . The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the winding material speed is recorded via a test winding of the winding body with test conditions. 
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the torque limit is controlled in real time. 
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a tensile force or a tensile force characteristic is specified for the tensile force component. 
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein an inertia is specified, which is derived from a CAD system and specified, or is measured for the inertia component. 
     
     
         14 . A control unit for a brake roller for winding a winding material onto a winding body, comprising:
 a processor; and   memory;   wherein the processor is configured to:
 ascertain a torque value via a torque balance of the brake roller in dependence on a winding material speed; and 
 specifying the ascertained torque value for a drive of the brake roller. 
   
     
     
         15 . A computer program, comprising commands stored in memory which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform the method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the computer program is executed on a virtual controller.
