| 20080271510 | WIRE PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING A CUT LENGTH OF WIRE - A swivel machine for wire processing has a coiler arranged between a cutting-off/insulation-stripping unit and a second swivel arm. The cut length of wire whose leading wire-end has been processed is coiled by a coiling disk of the coiler. After the leading wire-end of the cut length of wire has been processed, it is grasped by the coiler. A belt drive then advances the wire by the desired length of the cut length of wire, and the coiler coils the advanced wire simultaneously into a coil. After the coiling operation, a linearly movable stacker unit grasps the coil, and the coiling disk releases the coil. After the trailing wire-end has been processed, the stacker unit moves further in the wire-advance direction to the deposit. While the trailing wire-end is being processed, and while traveling to the deposit, the coil is provided with a bind. | 11-06-2008 |
