Abstract
Method to manufacture a coil around a component of an article having the steps of: moving by means of a main conveyor and along a working path, a carriage provided with a seat designed to house the component; placing, in an input station arranged along the working path, the component in the seat of the carriage; and coupling, in a winding station arranged along the working path downstream of the input station, a wire around the component in order to obtain a series of turns making up the coil.

A method to manufacture a coil (9-14) around a component (102) of an article (100) using an automatic machine (18) and comprising the steps of:
- moving, by means of a main conveyor (19) and along a working path (P1), a carriage (20) provided with a seat (22, 23, 24) designed to house the component (102);
- placing, in an input station (S1) arranged along the working path (P1), the component (102) in the seat (22, 23, 24) of the carriage (20);
- coupling, in a winding station (S3, S6, S9, S12, S15, S18) arranged along the working path (P1) downstream of the input station (S1), a wire (15) around the component (102) in order to obtain a series of turns making up the coil (9-14);
- locking an initial end of the wire (15) by means of a first clamp (50), which is integral with the carriage (20), before starting to wind the wire (15);
- and
- locking a final end of the wire (15) by means of a second clamp (51), which is integral with the carriage (20) at the final end of the winding of the wire (15),
- wherein the wire (15) is directly wound around the component (102) keeping the carriage (20) stopped in the winding station (S3, S6, S9, S12, S15, S18) and by having a movable finger (57), which engages the wire (15), in a sliding manner, revolve around the component (102) several times.

- wherein winding the wire (15) comprises the further steps of:
- bending, before starting to wind the wire (15), the wire (15) vertically moving towards the component (102) around a first pin (16), which horizontally projects from the component (102), in order to cause the wire (15) to make a turn, which deflects the wire (15) towards a horizontal orientation;
- and bending, after having finished winding the wire (15), the horizontally arranged wire (15) around a second pin (17), which horizontally projects from the component (102) in order to cause the wire (15) to make a turn, which deflects the wire (15) towards a vertical orientation.
