The cable coiling device automatically coils heavy-duty electrical cable into a coiled bundle having a predetermined coil diameter. This device matches the over/under coiling method used to manually coil cables that eliminate unnecessary twists and knots in cables. The cable coiling device has a first roller and a second roller that is angularly offset from the first roller. The angular offset adds a twist to the cable as it passes between the rollers. The device maintains the first and second rollers at a predetermined distance away from each other so that the cable does not slip out of the opening between the rollers. When the coil exits the rollers, the resulting cable is coil bundled and has a specific predetermined coil bundle diameter. Guide wheels positioned at specific locations guide the cable through the device, which prevents cable looping before and after the cable passes through the rollers.

The present invention is an automatic cut and transfer coiler and spooler apparatus, system and method for use generally comprising a rotatable turret with two independently driven spindles thereon wherein the drives for the independent spindles are attached to the turret for selectively rotating the spindles about their own axis independently.

The present disclosure relates to manufacturing elastomeric laminates that may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and an elastic material located between the first substrate and second substrate. Methods and apparatuses may be configured to automatically isolate elastic strands that may break during the assembly process. As discussed in more detail below, the apparatuses may include a snare member extending adjacent to and across a travel path of elastic materials in a converting process. Thus, during the manufacture process, stretched elastics strands may advance past the snare member without contacting the outer circumferential surface of the snare member before being joined with a substrate. In the event that an elastic strand breaks, an upstream end portion of the elastic strand may retract back toward the snare member, wherein the upstream end portion wraps partially or completely around the outer circumferential surface of the snare member.

The invention shows a spin-up device (11, 51) and a method for spinning up a spinning device (1, 101) for the continuous extrusion of molded bodies (3) from a spinning solution (6), containing a solvent and cellulose dissolved in the solvent, wherein the molded bodies are extruded from the spinning solution (6) through spinnerets (7) of the spinning device (1, 101) in the form of a loose spinning curtain (2), the molded bodies (3) of the loose spinning curtain (2) are combined into a molded body bundle (4) after the extrusion, and the molded body bundle (4) is, in a further step, fed to a draw-off member (10) of the spinning device (1, 101) in order to start a continuous extrusion of the molded bodies (3). In order to make the spin-up method simpler in terms of process technology and more reproducible, it is proposed to increase the tensile strength of at least some areas of the molded bodies (3) of the loose spinning curtain (2) after their extrusion and before combining them into a molded body bundle (4).
