    摘要: A winding apparatus includes a wire position support including first and second wire route hole in which first and second wires, respectively, are inserted, a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around a core of a coil component such that the first and second wires are wound around the core while twisted, a rotator that rotates the core, and a controller that controls the winding driver and the rotator. The controller performs first control, which orbitally revolves the wire position support in a first direction and rotates the core in an opposite second direction opposite, and second control, which orbitally revolves the wire position support in the second direction and rotates the core in the first direction, and switches between the first and second controls based on a predetermined condition, to prevent a kink of a wire between a wire feeder and a wire position support.

    摘要: A feed assist unit (1) includes a base portion (2) having a plurality of ribs (16a-d) on a lower surface (18) thereof. A dome portion (4) is connected to the base portion (2), and a rotating conduit portion (6) has a curved shape and is coupled to the dome portion (4). Each of the ribs (16a-d) has a first end (20) adjacent to the dome portion (4) and a second end (22) adjacent an associated side (14) of the base portion (2). The feed assist unit (1) has first and second central axes (A-A, B-B) oriented perpendicular to each other. First and third of the ribs (16a, 16c) are oriented parallel to the second central axis (B-B) and the second and fourth of the ribs (16b, 16d) can be oriented parallel to the first central axis (A-A). The first and third ribs (16a, 16c) are offset from the second central axis (B-B) by an offset length (OL) and the second and fourth ribs (16b, 16d) are offset from the first central axis (A-A) the offset length (OL).

    摘要: A mobile wire dispenser apparatus includes a base frame to which an upper frame is releasably lockable. The apparatus further includes a primary spool mounting assembly for supporting a first spool of wire and a secondary spool mounting assembly for supporting a second spool of wire. To facilitate mobility, the apparatus includes a plurality of wheels and an elongated handle.

    摘要: A festoon device includes a frame, which extends vertically, an upper pulley, which is rotationally supported by an upper part of the frame, and a lower pulley, which is rotationally supported by the frame below the upper pulley and is selectively moved up and down. The frame rotationally supports two auxiliary pulleys, which are arranged at a position closer to the frame than the upper pulley and the lower pulley. The festoon device is configured such that a wire is looped about the upper pulley and the lower pulley after being looped about the auxiliary pulleys.

    摘要: A toolbox-size device contains wire spools that are supported by both a cradle and a removable axial spindle. This dual support contributes to solving several problems involved with manual wire deployment devices. Particular object spatial and size relationships can include those of the cradle, spindle, spool diameter, spool hub, arbor-opening diameter, enclosure size, and exit aperture location. This provides a solution to reliably and smoothly deploy electrical wire manually from a hand-carried device. The cradle holds spools generally in place when the axial spindle is removed to add or remove spools. The dual support system allows the use of spools with damaged flanges normally not possible with a cradle-based system.
