Abstract
Some unique aspects and characteristics for precision winding of optical fiber are described. The characteristics of optical fiber and the manner of winding chosen give rise to unique challenges. The peculiarities of the problem are discussed and a summary of basic winding practices is included. After a brief description of the hardware in an automated optical fiber winder, normal winding patterns are considered. The high-speed automatic winder is described along with the technical challenges that are unique to winding of optical fiber, and a qualitative analysis of the winding process is given. The basic requirements for precision winding of optical fiber filaments are summarized
