Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for winding toroidal cores One aspect includes a substantially circular needle roller which is arranged on a winding plane substantially parallel to the wire, is rotatably mounted, and can be positioned relative to the toroidal core retaining element such that the needle roller winds a wire section located on the winding plane through and about a toroidal core which is guided in the toroidal core retaining element during operation. A deflecting roller may be rotatably mounted on the needle roller in a first recess on the winding plane and may be designed to wind the wire section through and about the toroidal core during operation. A baffle plate arranged on the needle roller may be designed to guide the wire to be wound between the winding plane and a storing plane arranged substantially parallel to the winding plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method for winding toroidal cores without using a magazine, comprising a toroidal-core retainer and comprising elements that are substantially arranged in a wire-guiding plane and that serve to guide and to magazine wire. The device comprises: a first transport roller and a second transport roller, which are arranged in relation to the toroidal-core retainer in such a way that a wire to be magazined on the transport rollers in the wire-guiding plane and to be wound can be guided between the first and the second transport roller through the toroidal core; a wire ejector arranged adjacently to the second transport roller; and a wire tensioner.
