Abstract: A method for heat treatment of an electric power cable, the electric power cable including a polymer-based electrical insulation system with a polymer composition. The method steps include placing the electric power cable having the polymer-based electrical insulation system into a heating chamber and exposing the polymer-based electrical insulation system to a heat treatment procedure when the electric power cable is located in the heating chamber.

Abstract: A winding machine having a user-defined pitch between rotation of a form and translation of a point of winding material along the form, reduces damaging accelerative forces on the machine components by a slight modulation of the pitch near travel-reversal of the point of winding. The pitch of the windings over most of the form is unaffected and rotational speed of the form need not be modified.

Abstract: A winding machine for winding thread-shaped winding material has a winding motor, a positioning drive and a control device. The winding motor has a motor housing and a motor shaft, wherein the motor shaft can rotate about a rotation axis. The motor shaft is connected fixedly in terms of rotation to a spool holder, on which at least one reel is arranged. The winding machine has at least one thread-feeding means per reel, by means of which thread-feeding means the thread-shaped winding material can be fed to the respective reel. During the rotation of the motor shaft about its shaft axis, the spool holder can be position axially along the shaft axis relative to the motor housing by means of the positioning drive. The winding motor and the positioning drive can be actuated in a coordinated manner by means of the control device.

Abstract: A coil winding apparatus 1 includes a transvers mechanism which displaces a wire supply part 8 and a spinds 5 to which a bobbin 4 is fitted relative to each other in an axial direction. This traverse mechanism includes a first traverse mechanism 11 and a second traverse mechanism 15 which have a different displacement range and displacement pitch. The first traverse mechanism 11 and second traversemechanism 15 are displaced independently of one another, so even when a wire of fine diameter is rapidly wound on a narrow width, the coil winding alignment does not break down, and the coil turns can be wound at high speed in an orderly arrangement.

Abstract: In a fishing reel of the type in which the spool for receiving the fishing line is caused to more to and fro in the direction of its winding axis in response to a cam drive for driving a spindle attached to the spool, the cam drive including a guide part with a guide slot into which projects an eccentrically mounted cam stud, the guide slot is in the form of an elongated S in order to impart an acceleration to the spool at its reversing points, and thereby prevent formation of bulges at the sides of the spool during winding. The locations in the guide slot corresponding to reversing points of the spool are offset from a center line of the guide slots along a longitudinal axis of the slot in a direction perpendicular to the stroke direction, resulting in the above-described acceleration and also having the effect of increasing displacement of the cam drive mechanism in the stroke direction.
