Abstract

In the swinging portion of the wire-rope winding machine the holder with the reel is so positioned inside the rotor that their common centre of gravity lies on the rotor axis. The holder is restrained from rotation when the rotor is in motion by means of an electromagnet in whose magnetic field the holder is located. Deviation of the holder from the normal position is signalized by transducers disposed in the magnetic field of each electromagnet. The design of the twisting portion permits the axis of the machine rotor to be located in the vertical or inclined position.

Claims

1. In a wire-rope winding machine the twisting portion comprising:

a frame mounting a hollow rotor on supports said rotor being made of non-magnetic material;

a drive unit for said rotor imparting to the latter rotary motion;

at least two wirereel holders installed in said rotor along the axis thereof so that the common center of gravity of the holders with the reels lies on the axis of the rotor;

a wire forming die fixed on said frame coaxially with said rotor;

electromagnets installed on said frame with the magnetic field of each electromagnet encompassing the corresponding holder and restraining the latter from rotation when the rotor is rotating;

at least two choking transducers positioned in the magnetic field of each of said electromagnets and serving as position signalizers of said holders in case the latter are seized by said rotor during rotation thereof, said choking transducers being electrically connected to said drive unit of the rotor for stopping its rotation when said holder deviates from a stationary position.

2. Wire-rope winding machines with a twisting portion comprising:

a frame mounting a hollow rotor on supports said rotor being made of non-magnetic material;

a drive unit for said rotor imparting to it rotary motion;

at least two wire-reel holders installed in said rotor along the axis thereof so that the common center of gravity of the holders with the reels lies on the rotor axis;

a rope forming die fixed on said frame coaxially with said rotor;

electromagnets installed on said frame with the magnetic field of each electromagnet encompassing the corresponding holder and restraining it from rotation together with said rotor;

at least two choking transducers positioned in the magnetic field of each of said electromagnets and serving as position signalizers of said holders in case the latter are seized by the rotor during rotation thereof, said choking transducers electrically connected to said drive unit of the rotor for stopping the rotation of the latter when said holder deviates from a statIonary position, characterized in that the machines are disposed in two rows, and the axes of the rotors of the twisting portions thereof are located at an angle of 0*-60* of the vertical.
