A tool for mounting a set of helical rods around an elongated central core includes a pair of cartridges mounted opposite each other around the central core, so that the rods extend along the central core. Each cartridge has a first part comprising a through-hole for receiving one of the rods, and a second part comprising a through-hole for receiving another rod, the second part being movable with respect to the first part from an open position to a closed position. In the closed position, the parts form an annular body extending around a central opening for receiving the central core, the cartridge comprising a surface configured to engage with a driving wheel or a driving belt for transfer of torque to the cartridge. In the open position, a gap is provided between the parts so that the central opening is accessible from a position radially outside of the cartridge.
A tool (1) for mounting a set of preformed helical rods (2) around a central core (3) extending along a longitudinal axis (A), the tool (1) comprising a pair of cartridges (100, 100′) configured to hold the rods (2) and configured to be mounted around the central core (3) opposite each other along the longitudinal axis (A), so that the rods (2) extend along the central core (3), each cartridge (100, 100′) comprising at least:
