Abstract
A winding machine (10) for winding and/or unwinding band-shaped or strip-like material (12) has at least one rotary plate (16), which is arranged on a pivot arm (24) and can be driven by means of at least two opposite coupling elements (20, 22), at least one coupling element (20) being associated with the rotary plate (16), and the rotary plate (16) being transferrable by means of a pivot device (30) between at least one decoupled state and at least one coupled state. Because the coupling elements (20, 22) can be positioned opposite one another in a coupling position in a sensor-based manner, this allows a coupling process which is as wear-free as possible.

1-15. (canceled)
A winding machine configured for at least one of winding or unwinding band-shaped or strip-shaped material comprising:
- a pivot arm;
- a drive device comprising at least two opposite coupling elements;
- a pivot device;
- a rotary plate arranged on the pivot arm and configured to be driven by the drive device, at least one coupling element being associated with the rotary plate, the rotary plate being transferrable by the pivot device between at least one decoupled state and at least one coupled state;
- and
- a first sensor;
- wherein the coupling elements are configured to be positioned opposite one another in a coupling position in a sensor-based manner in using the at least one first sensor.
A method for transferring at least one rotary plate of a winding machine configured for at least one of winding or unwinding band-shaped or strip-shaped material, between at least one coupled state and at least one decoupled state,
- wherein the at least one rotary plate is arranged on a pivot arm and driven by at least one drive device comprising at least two opposite coupling elements, at least one coupling element being associated with the rotary plate, comprising the steps:
- positioning, in a sensor-based manner, at least one first coupling element of the at least two coupling elements opposite at least one further coupling element of the at least two coupling elements in a coupling position,
- pivoting the rotary plate.
