Abstract

A method of winding coilware via a winding machine having a plurality of winding devices, which are drivable by a plurality of drives which comprise at least a supply roll and a winding body, includes providing the coilware from the supply roll and winding the coilware over at least one deflection roll onto the winding body, where at least one drive is adjusted as a function of a position-dependent compensation signal at least partly compensating a defect, and where the position-dependent compensation signal for the drive is provided by acquiring a time domain interference variable during a winding operation, transforming the acquired interference variable into a frequency domain spectrum, filtering the spectrum via a filter specific to the winding device assigned to the drive, transforming the filtered spectrum back into the time domain to provide a time-dependent compensation signal, and transforming the time-dependent compensation signal into the position-dependent compensation signal.
