Abstract
A machine for winding coils comprising at least one support frame, a belt having a closed-ring configuration installed on the support frame so as to substantially surround it peripherally, and a platform on which the at least one support frame is positioned. The platform is provided with support elements configured to selectively support the at least one support frame in a distanced position with respect to the platform. Actuation members are associated with at least some of said support elements, and are able to be selectively activated to take at least some of said support elements to a first operating position constraining the support frame to the platform, and to a second non-operating position of non-interference with said support frame.
Claims15
A machine for winding coils comprising at least one support frame, a belt having a closed-ring configuration installed on the support frame so as to substantially surround the at least one support frame peripherally, and a platform on which the at least one support frame is positioned, wherein said platform is provided with support elements configured to selectively support the at least one support frame in a distanced position with respect to the platform, and actuation members are associated with at least some of said support elements able to be selectively activated to take at least some of said support elements to a first operating position constraining the support frame to the platform, and to a second non-operating position of non-interference with said support frame to define an interspace between said platform and said support frame suitable for the lateral insertion or lateral removal of said belt on said support frame.
A method to install or replace a belt of a machine for winding coils, wherein the machine comprises at least one support frame on which said belt can be positioned, having a closed-ring configuration and such as to substantially surround said support frame peripherally, said method comprising at least an operation to insert or remove said belt into/from said support frame, wherein it provides to support said support frame on a platform by means of support elements which keep said support frame distanced with respect to the platform, in that before said operation to insert or remove said belt at least some of said support elements are taken from a first operating position constraining the support frame to the platform, to a second non-operating position of non-interference with said support frame to define an interspace between said platform and said support frame, in that the other support elements keep said support frame constrained to said platform, and in that said insertion or removal operation provides to insert or remove at least part of said belt laterally through said interspace.
