Abstract: A winding machine is provided, by which it is possible to cope with various kinds of shapes of the winding section, to realize stable winding, and to perform an operation of connecting the end of the wound wire to a terminal and a winding operation in a single process. The winding machine comprises a nozzle which is movable while letting out a wire; driving device for driving the nozzle; direction switching device for making the direction of the nozzle switchable; and winding position setting device for setting the position of a winding section onto which the wire is wound, and wherein the wire is wound onto the winding section according to movement of the nozzle, and the wire is fixed to a wire fixing section at the end of winding.

Abstract: A winding machine and method, by which it is possible to perform winding and tying operations suitable for each shape of various kinds of work pieces, to fix wire tension, and to prevent breaking of wire and deformation of the wire fixing section.
