Abstract
A method for winding can include positioning a multi-sided object on a winding component in a first position. The method can include dereeling a wire from a dereeler and winding onto the multi-sided object in the first position. The method can include rotating the winding component to position the multi-sided object in a second position without removing the multi-sided object from the winding component. The method can include dereeling the wire from the dereeler and winding onto the multi-sided object in the second position.
Claims20
A method for winding, comprising:
- positioning a multi-sided object on a receiving component coupled to a rotating shaft, wherein the multi-sided object is in a first position with respect to the rotating shaft;
- dereeling a wire from a dereeler and winding onto the multi-sided object in the first position;
- rotating the receiving component to position the multi-sided object in a second position with respect to the rotating shaft without removing the multi-sided object from the receiving component;
- and
- dereeling the wire from the dereeler and winding onto the multi-sided object in the second position.

A method for winding, comprising:
- winding a wire onto a first set of sides of a multi-sided object while the multi-sided object is coupled to a receiving component, wherein the receiving component is coupled to a rotating shaft and the multi-sided object is in a first position with respect to the rotating shaft while winding onto the first set of sides;
- and
- winding the wire onto a second set of sides of the multi-sided object while the multi-sided object is in a second position with respect to the rotating shaft, having been rotated from the first position;
- and
- winding the wire onto a third set of sides of the multi-sided object while the multi-sided object is in a third position with respect to the rotating shaft, having been rotated from the second position;
- wherein the multi-sided object is not removed from the receiving component when the multi-sided object is rotated from the first to the second position and from the second to the third position.

A winding system, comprising:
- a dereeler configured to dereel a wire wound therearound;
- a shaft positioned a particular distance from the dereeler and configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the shaft, wherein the longitudinal axis of the dereeler is perpendicular to a direction that the wire is dereeled off the dereeler;
- a receiving component coupled to the shaft at an angle such that an axis of the receiving component is non-colinear with the longitudinal axis of the shaft;
- a positioning component coupled to the receiving component and configured to hold a multi-sided object at a particular position;
- wherein the angle is such that the wire is wound onto a first set of sides of the multi-sided object in response to the shaft rotating;
- and
- wherein the receiving component is configured to rotate a number of degrees about a longitudinal axis of the receiving component such that the wire is wound onto a second set of sides of the multi-sided object in response to the shaft rotating.
