Abstract

Method for conveying one or more cores to a first conveying means, e.g., a carriage movable in shuttle-like fashion between dwell positions. Carriage includes means for supporting a core and moving same to and from transporting means such as a turntable or turret that includes core supporting means. First conveying means also can include a second carriage. Winding shoes may be selectively transferred between the carriages and turntable that moves them to a high speed winding station. Also disclosed are mechanisms and methods for placing windings on cores; automatically establishing winding leads and anchoring the same; transporting wound cores to core loading station; and removing cores from loading station.

Claims

1. A method of handling different sets of cores and providing windings thereon, said method including the steps of:

moving a first set of cores to a core loading station;

transferring the cores of the first set to a core set transporter;

transporting the first set of cores to a winding station;

substantially simultaneously placing windings on each core in the first set of cores at the winding station;

establishing lead wires of a predetermined length for at least one winding coil of each core in the first set of cores at the winding station and, at that time, establishing at least one lead wire of a predeterminable length for each core of another set of cores;

transporting the wound first set of cores to the core loading station; and

removing the wound first set of cores from the core loading station.

2. The method of claim 1 further including the step of anchoring at least one lead wire for each core in a set of cores while a set of cores is at the winding station.
