Abstract
A winding machine includes a handling unit which is configured to enable positioning of the winding reel. Advantageously, it is possible to adjust the height and the distance of the winding reel with respect to the central unit of the winding machine according to the diameter of the coil and to the height of the worker assigned to supervise the winding process. The handling unit can be operated by an electric motor or manually and improves ergonomics and flexibility of the winding machine, particularly by increasing safety for the operators and by reducing machine setup.
Claims10
A winding machine (1) for producing windings, said winding machine (1) comprising:
- a decoiler unit (A) of conductive and/or insulating materials in the form of wire, foil or metal strap;
- a winding unit (C) comprising a winding device (11′) configured to wind said conductive and/or insulating materials around a core (122) integral with a winding reel (12) which is directed horizontally along an x axis (X) and is rotated by a motor (15);
- optionally, a central group (B) to prepare said conductive and/or insulating materials outgoing from said decoiler group (A) before entering said winding unit (C),
- said winding machine (1) further comprising a handling unit (13) configured to allow the motion of the winding reel (12):
- parallel to a z axis (Z) from a first height (Z1) to a second height (Z2), or vice versa;
- or
- parallel to a y axis (Y) from a first position (Y1) to a second position (Y2), or vice versa;
- or
- first parallel to the z axis (Z) and then parallel to the y axis (Y), or vice versa,
- wherein the winding reel (12) has a first end (121) and a second end (121′) rotatably constrained, respectively, to a tailstock (11) and to said winding device (11′), said winding machine (1) and wherein the motion along the z axis (Z) or the y axis (Y) takes place with said winding reel (12) parallel with respect to the x axis (X).
