  • Publication number: 20180294701
    Abstract: A wave winding device for manufacturing wave windings has a winding unit with a winding blade device rotatable about a winding axis in a winding direction and on which a winding wire is to be wound. The wave winding device has at least one wire feed device that supplies the winding wire to the winding unit in a feed direction to wind the winding blade device, and also has a transport device for transporting the winding wire, which is wound onto the winding blade device to form a wave winding, in a transport direction parallel to the winding axis. The transport device has a conveyor system that moves the wave winding through the transport device in the transport direction. The conveyor system is supported in the transport device so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis in the winding direction, coaxially with respect to the winding axis.

  • Patent number: 9130440
    Abstract: A winding method for producing, for example, electric coils, wherein strand-shaped winding material (8) fed by means of a feeding device (7) is wound onto a carrier body having a non-circular cross-section by means of moving the winding material (8) and the carrier body relative to each other. Prior to placing the winding material (8) onto the surface to be wound, a force is applied onto the material transversely to the longitudinal extension thereof such that the strand-shaped winding material conform to the shape of the surface of the carrier body having a non-circular cross-section.
