Abstract
A turret coil winding machine, having a turret comprising a plurality of support positions for the coils to be wound, these positions being uniformly distributed along its periphery, the turret being moved stepwise relative to a plurality of fixed working stations uniformly distributed about the periphery of the turret. Each of the support positions comprises a support member carrying a plurality of coil supports and mounted movably in the vertical plane along the Y and Z directions. A numerical control unit, the outputs of which are constituted by a pair of interconnected sliders movable along the Y and Z axes, is provided in at least one of the fixed working stations. A releasable coupling is associated with the coil support member for temporarily connecting the support member to the interconnected sliders.
Claims4
A turret coil winding machine, comprising a turret, means mounting the turret for indexing rotative movement about a vertical axis, a plurality of brackets on the turret distributed about the periphery of the turret, a plurality of fixed work stations surrounding the turret, whereby the brackets on the turret can be brought sequentially into registry with the work stations by indexing movement of the turret, a plurality of coil supports, means mounting each said coil support for sliding movment on and relative to a said bracket in two orthogonal directions in a vertical plane, and a numerical control unit for controlling a work operation in at least one said work station, said unit having an output comprised by means for moving a said coil support in said at least one work station in said two orthogonal directions, and detachable coupling means for releasably fixing the position of said coil supports relative to said brackets.
