Abstract: Innerspring assembly manufacturing machinery includes a coil forming machine for forming individual wire form coils from a supply of wire, a geneva to transfer individual coils from the coil forming machine to a coil conveyor, a coil orientation device to change a radial orientation of a coil about a longitudinal axis of the coil in the coil conveyor, and an innerspring assembler for receiving a coil from the conveyor in an orientation determined by the coil orientation device. The coil orientation device includes first and second pairs of rollers mounted for linear translation toward and away from a coil conveyor and into contact with a coil in contact with the coil conveyor. The first or second pair of rollers are driven to rotate while in contact with the coil in contact with the conveyor to rotate the coil about a longitudinal axis of the coil.

Abstract: Innerspring assembly manufacturing machinery includes mechanisms for adjustment of coil orientation and position in a coil conveyor and selectable coil orientation of selected coils prior to or during conveyance of coils to an innerspring assembler, and coil conveyors and coil straighteners components of an innerspring manufacturing and assembly system.
