(54) | Winding unit |
(57) The invention provides a winding unit (4) capable of performing a satisfactory winding
operation by accurately aligning a position of an unwinding side end of a yarn feeding
bobbin (21) with respect to a target position regardless of a diameter and/or a shape
of the yarn feeding bobbin (21). A winder unit (winding unit) (4) includes a bobbin
holding portion (110), a chase portion detection sensor (the yarn feeding bobbin detection
unit) (74), a drive portion (200), and a stepping motor controller (102). The bobbin
holding portion (110) holds the yarn feeding bobbin (21). The chase portion detection
sensor (74) detects an unwinding side end of the yarn feeding bobbin (21) held by
the bobbin holding portion (110). The drive portion (200) drives the bobbin holding
portion (110) to adjust the position of the unwinding side end of the yarn feeding
bobbin (21). The stepping motor controller (102) controls the drive portion (200)
to align the position of the unwinding side end of the yarn feeding bobbin (21) with
the target position set in advance based on a detection result of the chase portion
detection sensor (74).
