The book offers a solution to the scientific and technical problems of winding products formation. The methods of investigation of internal forces, stresses and density in bodies of winding are presented, the questions of formation of bodies of winding under complex laws of layout of a thread. are considered. The method of determining the law of thread tension control and selection of the main parameters of the system that allows to form winding products with specified properties. Methods of optimal design of winding mechanisms have been developed. The book is intended for design engineers, calculators and technologists involved in the design and production of winding mechanisms.
