The invention relates to a winding machine, on which, in alternation, a wound package is wound in a winding position of a spindle, while at the same time a completely wound package is removed from another spindle. With winding machines according to the prior art, the completely wound package must be removed quickly before the other wound package has reached a critical diameter to avoid a collision of their lateral faces. According to the invention, a shifting device shifts the completely wound package before or during the winding process of the wound package such that the axial extensions of the wound packages have no overlap. The collision of the wound packages can thus be prevented as the diameter of the wound package increases, whereby a more compact design with a smaller spacing of the spindles is made possible and an operator has more time to remove the completely wound spool.
A winding machine, comprising a first spindle for a first wound package arranged thereon and a second spindle for a second wound package arranged thereon, and comprising a shifting device for shifting the first and second package, when completely wound, on the first and second spindle one at a time along its rotational axis into a removal position, wherein in the removal position the first and second wound packages are arranged on the first and second spindles without any overlap of each spindle axial extension.
A method for operating a winding machine for alternately winding a first wound package on a first spindle and a second wound package on a second spindle, wherein the first or second package, when completely wound, is shifted by a shifting device along its rotational axis on its associated first or second spindle into a removal position, wherein in the removal position an axial extension of the first or second wound package is located without any overlap with the axial extension of the other of the first and second wound package being wound on the first or second spindle.
