An adjustable guide apparatus for guiding filamentary material from a reciprocating traverse onto a mandrel of a winding machine to form a coil. The adjustable guide apparatus includes a housing having a collar defining an inlet opening configured to receive filamentary material, and adjustable guides coupled to the housing defining a guide opening between the adjustable guides for passage of the filamentary material from the inlet opening. The apparatus also includes an adjuster configured to adjust relative spacing between the adjustable guides that defines the size of the guide opening.

A power cable arrangement, in particular marine power cable, for offshore wind farms, including at least one cable drum device with a cable drum. The power cable arrangement includes at least one power cable wound on the cable drum with at least one cable end configured to pre-installing at a cable connection of a wind energy device. The power cable is wound on the cable drum such that a first section of the power cable is wound inversely to a further section of the power cable.

A cable changer includes a cable guide for retaining a plurality of cables at different heights, and a cable feed apparatus for feeding one of the cables to a cable processing machine, the height of the cable guide being adjustable relative to the cable feed apparatus, such that the cable feed apparatus can feed different cables of the cable guide to the cable processing machine depending on the height of the cable guide relative to the cable feed apparatus. The cable guide has height alignment elements and the cable feed apparatus has height determination elements that are complementary to the height alignment elements, the height alignment elements and the height determination elements locking the cable guide at one of a plurality of specified heights relative to the cable feed apparatus when the height determination elements are connected to some of the height alignment elements.

A lead wire storage mechanism stores most of a lead wire such that the lead wire can be taken out from a tip end portion. A tension adjusting mechanism including a dancer roller and two lifting and lowering guide rollers is formed with a partial space that is to be a part of a hand travel space at a time of a preparation state. A lead wire guide mechanism including an opening and closing lead guide is formed with a partial space that is to be a part of the hand travel space at the time of the preparation state. A lead wire grasping and moving mechanism can execute a grasping operation for grasping a tip end portion of the lead wire with a grasping part, and a grasping part moving operation for moving the grasping part through the hand travel space.

There is provided a wound thread package that is unlikely to cause problems such as cob-webbing and collapse at the time of unwinding even when the wound thread is a multi-filament thread or tape-like thread, and a manufacturing method for the same. To manufacture a wound thread package 1 by winding a plurality of multi-filament threads or tape-like threads having a total fineness of 100 to 6400 dtex per thread around a bobbin 2 by a traverse method, the threads constituting a thread layer 3 are arranged at intervals therebetween and wound with the same in traverse width w and at different traverse reverse positions.

A cable coiling system for coiling a cable into a cable coil includes a reel rotatable around a central axis of the reel, a gripper configured to grip a starting end of the cable, and a slide rail extending in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the reel. The cable is coilable around the reel to form the cable coil by rotating the reel in a state in which the gripper is coupled onto the reel and grips the starting end of the cable. The reel is slidably mounted on the slide rail. A length of the starting end of the cable coiled around the reel is adjustable by moving the reel along the slide rail and rotating the reel around the central axis in a state in which the gripper is separated from the reel and fixed at a predetermined position.
