Cone Winding Machines: Performance, Technology, and Industry Use

 

Cone winding is an essential part of yarn preparation in the textile industry. These machines take yarn from hanks, skeins, or bobbins and wind it neatly onto cones. This step prevents tangles, breakage, and uneven feeding in the next process, like weaving, knitting, or dyeing.
If you work in a textile lab, garment factory, or quality department, understanding cone winding machines can make your work easier. These machines make yarn clean, even, and strong – ready for whatever comes next. A good cone winding machine can save time, reduce waste, and improve final product quality.
In this guide, you will learn how these machines work, their types, features, testing methods, and how to choose the right one for your needs. Whether you are upgrading your machine or starting new, this guide will help you make a better choice.

What is Cone Winding?

Cone winding is the process of transferring yarn from hanks, skeins, or bobbins onto cone-shaped packages. This is an important step in textile production as it prepares the yarn for further processes like weaving, knitting, or dyeing.
During cone winding, the yarn is wound evenly and under controlled tension so the yarn feeds smoothly in the next stages. The process also removes yarn defects, improves consistency, and creates compact, easy-to-handle cones.
Cone winding machines automate this task, increasing efficiency and reducing manual effort in both industrial and laboratory settings.

Types of Cone Winding Machines

There are several types of cone winding machines designed to meet different production needs. Each type varies in speed, automation level, and yarn handling capacity.
Choosing the right one depends on your specific use—whether for lab testing, small batches, or large-scale manufacturing.

DW7060H Lab Cone Winding Machine

The DW7060H Lab Cone Winding Machine is a compact, high-precision machine designed for textile laboratories and R&D centers. It is ideal for testing yarn tension, splice strength, and winding patterns.
With digital controls and a small footprint, it offers lab professionals full control over the winding process without compromising quality. It’s perfect for producing small yarn batches for testing or development.
Key Features:
  • Digital display with adjustable tension and speed
  • Automatic yarn break detection
  • Smooth drive system for uniform winding
  • Compact size for lab environments
  • Easy maintenance and quiet operation

Single-Head Cone Winding Machine

This basic machine winds one cone at a time with a single spindle. Great for small businesses, educational institutions, and R&D labs that need low-volume winding.
Simple and affordable for small-scale operations or custom yarn creation.
​Features:
  • Affordable and easy to use
  • Cotton, wool, and synthetic yarns
  • Testing and sample production
  • No training required
  • Low power consumption

Hank-to-Cone Winder

This machine converts yarn from hanks to cones, which is vital after dyeing. It’s designed to handle dyed or delicate yarns gently without damaging fibers. Available in semi-auto or full-auto types, it’s essential for both small and large dyeing units.
Key Features:
  • Gentle yarn handling after dyeing
  • Suitable for cotton, wool, silk, and blends
  • Adjustable speed and tension
  • Efficient transfer from Hank to the cone
  • Models available for different production needs

Fiber Fineness and Tenacity Test

Image
  Test methods explanation We have tested 5 fiber samples using two solutions to test fiber fineness and tenacity: Solution 1 and solution 2. Solution 1 We use YG002C measured the fiber diameter, and YG005S tested the break force and extension. The fiber density is converted to denier from diameter using the formula. Then use the break force divide the density to get the tenacity. Please move to TABLE 1 to view the test result. We have attached YG002C parameter sheet in Appendix 1 and YG005S parameter sheets in Appendix 2. Solution 2 We use ZK100F measured the fiber density, and YG005X tested the break force, extension, and tenacity. Please move to TABLE 2 to view the test result. We have attached ZK100F parameter sheet in Appendix 3 and YG005X parameter sheet in Appendix 4. A better solution for fiber density and tenacity testing  We also have a YG005XD AUTOMATIC FIBER TENSILE AND FINENESS TEST SYSTEM, which has integrated function of ZK100F and YG005X; it is equipped wi...

Selection of materials for jigger dyeing machine parts

Image
In the textile industry, the jigger dyeing machine is a key textile printing and dyeing equipment. The selection of its main manufacturing material has a vital impact on the performance, durability, and dyeing effect of the equipment. Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in modern dye jigger manufacturing, especially 304 and 316L. Material selection for each component of the jigger dyeing machine The jigger dyeing machine is composed of a frame, an electric control cabinet, a vessel/top cover, a circulation system, a dye bath, a main roller, a guide roller, a tension frame, an additional tank, a debatching device, and other parts. More details about jigger dyeing machine in our company No contact with dye solution ​ For parts that are not in contact with the dye solution, the main consideration when choosing the manufacturing material is the use environment of the equipment. Generally speaking, the environment of the dyeing factory is harsh. We recommend using 304...

Definition and Classification of Yarn Spinning

Image
  What is yarn spinning Yarn spinning is the technique of making yarn from fibers. The fibers can be wool, cotton or other natural materials, or they can be synthetic. Spinning produces a yarn that can then be used to make fabric. Types of yarn spinning Spinning can take numerous forms, but they all have the same goal: to transform fibers into yarn. Some varieties of spinning are more popular than others, but each has its own set of benefits. Woolen and cotton are the two most common forms of spinning. The process of converting raw wool into yarn is known as spinning. The yarn is generally thick and heavy since it is spun on a spinning wheel. Cotton spinning is the transformation of raw cotton into yarn. The yarn is generally thin and light, and it is spun on a spinning wheel or spinning jenny. There are also additional styles of spinning that are less common but have their own advantages. The process of converting raw silk into yarn is known as silk spinning. The yarn is generally...
