The invention relates to a method for winding pre-oriented, non-crystalline polyester
filaments onto a spool at a winding speed of at least 4,200 m/min, in which the
wound filament is wound over the width of the spool by means of a flying traverse
arm and is turned by a driven sensing roller with an applied pressure between 8
and 18 kg on the circumference of a spool placed on a driven spool-locating pin.
The filaments for winding are introduced to the traverse thread guide at a thread
tension of between 0.03 cN/dtex and 0.20 cN/dtex. The sensing roller is driven
at an overspeed of preferably between 0.3 and 1.2%, in comparison with the spool
circumferential speed. The thread laying angle is set between 3.5 and 7.5
by means of the spool travel. The above method permits a good spool formation even
at high spooling speeds.
