Abstract: A manufacturing machine and method for producing a cartridge for an electronic cigarette includes a first assembling drum mounted rotatable around a first rotation axis and has a first seat to house a support of a heating device coupled to a wick with an electrical coil, and a second seat axially aligned with the first seat and designed to house a tank. At a first feeding station, a support of a heating device coupled to a wick with an electrical coil is fed into the first seat. At a second feeding station, a tank is fed into the second seat. A first insertion station is arranged downstream of the first and second feeding stations and provided with a first pushing device, which axially moves the support of a heating device from the first seat to the second seat to insert the support into a tank carried by the second seat.

Abstract: Method and machine to manufacture a coil around a component of an article. A main conveyor moves, along a working path, a carriage provided with a seat designed to house the component; the component is arranged in the seat of the carriage in an input station arranged along the working path; and in a winding station arranged along the working path, a wire is directly wound around the component to form a series of turns making up the coil by making a movable finger, which engages the wire in a sliding manner, revolving around the component several times.

Abstract: Method and machine to manufacture a coil around a component of an article includes a main conveyor that moves along a working path and a carriage with a seat to house the component. Along the working path, the component is arranged in the seat of the carriage in an input station, and at a winding station, a wire having a diameter less than 500 μm is directly wound around the component for a winding time ranging from 50% to 70% of the total work cycle, to obtain the coil with a number of turns less than 50. A work cycle lasts from an initial instant, in which the carriage carrying the component without the coil reaches the winding station, to a final instant, in which the carriage carrying the component with the coil leaves the winding station.
