A process for forming a coil of scrap tubing includes the steps of forming a turntable having at least one longitudinal member extending upwardly therefrom, extending a length of the tubing to the turntable, rotating the turntable such that the tubing wraps around the longitudinal member so as to form the coil, and lifting the coil from the turntable that above the longitudinal member. An end of the scrap tubing from the reel is fixed to the turntable prior to the step of rotating. The longitudinal member includes a panel extending upwardly from the turntable and an arm pivotally mounted adjacent an end of the panel opposite the turntable. A forklift is used to lift the coil from the turntable.

A method for the handling of coreless auger, which is produced by an auger production machine from which the coreless auger emerges with a linear motion component and a rotational motion component, includes guiding the rotating auger for linear movement away from the production machine toward a temporary storage facility that has a cylindrical receptacle rotatable about its own axis and a coaxial rotatable feed guide having an axial inlet for formed auger and an outwardly directed outlet for directing formed auger toward an inner periphery of the cylindrical receptacle. The cylindrical receptacle is rotated and the feed guide is allowed to rotate about the axis of its inlet that is roughly coincident with the axis of auger entering the axial inlet of the feed guide. The cylindrical receptacle is rotated at a speed selected to counteract the rotation of the auger about its own axis.

In a first embodiment, the invention relates to a stranding machine for wires having two wrap-around rollers having wrap-around tracks arranged on the circumference thereof, whereby the wire can be guided in such a way that the wire runs through the first and second wrap-around tracks preferably in alternation in preferably 8-shaped or 0-shaped wraps. In a second embodiment, the stranding machine has a winding device for winding the wire onto a reel having a laying device that can be moved along a movement axis parallel to the reel axis and having a plurality of rotatably supported deflecting rollers, whereby the wire can be guided in such a way that the wire runs onto and/or from each of the deflecting rollers substantially in the plane of rotation of the deflecting roller. In this way, the produced wire has lower twist and lower torsional stresses, which makes the further processing of the wire, in particular the winding, assembly, crimping, and extrusion of a plastic insulation around the wire easier and which increases the number of possible bending reversal cycles.

A method is provided for the handling of coreless auger produced by an auger production machine from which the coreless auger emerges with a linear motion component and a rotational motion component. The method includes guiding the rotating auger for linear movement away from the production machine toward a temporary storage facility that has a cylindrical receptacle rotatable about its own axis and a coaxial rotatable feed guide having an axial inlet for formed auger and an outwardly directed outlet for directing formed auger toward an inner periphery of the cylindrical receptacle; rotating the cylindrical receptacle and allowing the feed guide to rotate about the axis of its inlet that is roughly coincident with the axis of auger entering the axial inlet of the feed guide such that the outwardly directed outlet may move around the interior of the receptacle in a circular path to direct auger toward the inner periphery of the cylindrical receptacle and form a coil thereof. The cylindrical receptacle is rotated at a speed selected to counteract the rotation of the auger about its own axis.

The present invention relates to a stator coil winding machine including: a stator transfer unit adapted to transfer a linear type stator having a plurality of stator cores in directions of X and Y axes; a winding guide unit adapted to guide the transferred stator to coil winding; a winding unit adapted to wind a coil on the stator; a tension adjusting unit adapted to adjust tension on the coil being wound on the stator; and a controller adapted to control operations of the stator transfer unit, the winding guide unit, and the winding unit to allow the coil to be wound on the stator by means of three-phase Y connection, based on a previously set winding sequence.
