The machine drive is an electric motor controlled by an inverter. The winding speed is set by the potentiometer located on the control panel. The precise winding net for ropes of various width can be achieved by adjusting the transmission ratio of the UHING guiding (tracing) device. The electronic control system ensures the (selected) winding speed to be kept constant.

The infinitely variable spindle rotary speed and guiding speed (using the UHING lever) makes it possible to easily select an optimum thread guide per revolution depending on the thickness of the rope and the required degree of filling (density)of the receive bobbin. The design of the spindle unit and steering mechanism allows for easy change of the type of disk spools.

The machine is equipped with the following controls:

• sensor for entanglements and knots
• wound rope length meter
• lack rope sensor
