Abstract
A laying head assembly for the formation of coils is disclosed and can include a laying head configured to rotate about an axis, a pathway defining an enclosed conduit configured to contain an elongated material, the pathway extending in a helical path around the laying head, and at least one support structure coupling the pathway to the laying head, wherein at least one of the one or more couplings have an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape.
Claims20
A laying head assembly for the formation of coils comprising:
- a laying head configured to rotate about an axis;
- a pathway defining an enclosed conduit configured to contain an elongated material, the pathway extending in a helical path around the laying head;
- and
- at least one support structure coupling the pathway to the laying head, wherein the at least one support structure comprises a lateral profile area (Alat) and a longitudinal profile area (Along) and wherein the at least one support structure comprises a ratio [Alat/Along] of not greater than 1.
