Cable coiling system

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.

Filament winding device

A filament winding device includes a controller configured to control a rotating unit, a first moving unit, a second moving unit, and a swing unit based on command values of a rotation angle of a liner, and a first position, a second position, and a swing angle of a guide roller. The controller includes an associating unit configured to associate measured values of the first position, the second position, and the swing angle of the guide roller, corresponding to each rotation angle of the liner, with a measured value of the rotation angle of the liner, a difference calculating unit configured to calculate differences between the command values and the measured values, and a speed lowering unit configured to, when any one of the differences exceeds a predetermined threshold, lower a winding speed of the fiber bundle on the liner.

Coiler bar assembly
10501281 · 2019-12-10 ·

A coiler bar assembly includes a coupler housing and a bearing housing used to suspend a reel shaft above a surface. The reel shaft is configured to include bearings to permit its rotation relative to the housings. The coupler housing includes a receiving plate coupled to an end of the reel shaft and a coupler that is engaged with a motor shaft. The motor shaft extends up to the receiving plate. A handle is included and is pivotally coupled to the coupler housing and the coupler about two separate axes. Pivoting the handle permits translation of the coupler along the motor shaft to selectively engage the receiving plate. When engaged, rotation of the motor shaft induces rotation of the reel shaft. The handle is operated externally from the coupler housing.

A spool winder. The spool winder includes a plurality of arms, each having an upper end and a lower end. The plurality of arms are pivotally affixed at the lower end about a rod, wherein the rod can removably secure to a power drill. A notch is disposed on the upper end such that the notch faces the rod, wherein the notch can receive a rim of a spool therein. The spool winder further includes a slide lock having a plurality of apertures therein, wherein the plurality of apertures can receive the plurality of arms therethrough. The plurality of arms can move between a closed position and an open position as the slide lock is moved from the upper end towards the lower end. The distance between the upper end of each of the plurality of arms and the rod is greater when the arms are in the open position.
