A rotary body including a drum and a wire support member winds a wire by rotation. A spacer is provided on the rotary body and is displaceable to a first position and a second position in the rotary body. When the spacer is in the first position, the wire is wound on the rotary body not via the spacer, and hence the wire is wound with the first diameter. When the spacer is in the second position, position, the wire is wound on the rotary body via the spacer, and hence the wire is wound with a second diameter larger than the first diameter.

A telescopic pneumatic linear actuator, particularly for unwinders with movable arms, includes a first annular cylinder, provided with a respective cavity, and a second annular cylinder, which can be inserted into and can slide within the cavity of the first annular cylinder and is provided with a respective cavity. The actuator also includes an annular piston, which can be inserted into and can slide within the cavity of the second annular cylinder. The first and second annular cylinders and the annular piston are provided with respective holes for the passage of a self-expanding spindle.

Systems and methods are provided for a rotational wire transport. In certain examples, the rotational wire transport may be a part of a wire processing system. The rotational wire transport may include a winding spool, a linear actuator, a cam, and a gripping tab. The rotational wire transport may be configured to wind wire into a coil and move between a plurality of different stations within the wire processing system.
