Abstract
A winding machine, essentially constituted by individual winding stations disposed in stages which are controlled, at the level of each stage, by an assembly of drive shafts of packages and drive shafts of fliers, the yarns being supplied by a pre-feed device for its yarns. The winding machine is transformable on site and has a device for operating the drive elements of the drive shafts of the packages, the drive shafts of the fliers, and of the pre-feed device, the yarns being possibly mounted as desired in an interchangeable manner at the two ends of the winding machine, by symmetrical end plates or flanges, with arrangement in the front, of the conveyor which passes through them.
Claims6
A winding machine comprising:
- plural winding stations arranged in a row that has first and second ends, each of said stations receiving yarn and outputting packages of wound yarn;
- a movable command and control box having a pre-feed device for yarn, at least one motor for driving said plural winding stations, and a controller for said pre-feed device and at least one motor, said box being at either of said first and second ends;
- a conveyor spanning said plural winding stations and receiving the packages from said stations and delivering the packages to one of said first and second ends;
- and
- an end plate at each of said first and second ends, each said end plate having an opening through which said conveyor extends, and each said end plate being arranged and adapted to receive said command and control box so that said command and control box is movable to either of said first and second ends.
