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.

Abstract: An automatic coil winder comprises a spindle on which a bobbin is mounted for rotation, and a nozzle for supplying a wire to the bobbin. The coil winder comprises a first arm and a second arm which move respectively in triaxial directions. The nozzle is supported on the first arm while a plurality of auxiliary tools are supported on the second arm. Two arms move the nozzle and the auxiliary tools independently, whereby the winding work to the bobbin can be efficiently carried out.

Abstract: An automatic coil winder provided with a turret having a rotation axle for carrying a bobbin and a motor for rotating this rotation axle, and provided with a nozzle for supplying wire to the bobbin, further comprises a mechanism for rotating the turret and a mechanism for fixing the turret in a predetermined rotation position. The rotation axis of the bobbin can therefore be inclined depending on the projection direction of a terminal pin on the bobbin, and the tying of the wire around the pin can be easily accomplished. By providing a displacement mechanism which can displace the turret in three dimensions, it is easy to adapt to operations other than winding such as soldering wire to the terminal pin or taping it to the bobbin, and the entire series of coil manufacturing processes can be automated.
