A mult threader assembly has a mult threader frame, a movable carriage that is slidably disposed on the frame, a fixed clamping member, a separator shaft mounted on the movable carriage, and a movable clamping member mounted on the movable carriage.

A winding machine (100; 100a, 100b) for wrapping strands of rolled material, such as a bar, a rod, wire or the like, around a reel into coils: a reel (50; 50a, 50b); a base flange (1) defining a first catching recess (6) intended to receive an end of a first strand (17; 17a, 17b); a first cover (9) movable between an open position leaving the first catching recess (6) exposed and a closed position covering the first catching recess (6) to form a closed passage for the end of the first strand (17; 17a, 17b) in order to secure the end of the first strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b). At least a second element (2) defining a second catching recess (4); and at least a second cover (8) movable between an open position leaving the further catching recess (4) exposed and a closed position covering the second catching recess (4) to form a closed passage for the end of a second strand (27; 27a, 27b) in order to secure the end of the second strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b).

A mandrel with a compensating segment, gripper bar, and external body segment making up a key piece configuration. The configuration adjusting the travel path of metal sheet being wound around the mandrel. The metal sheet thereby being wound without resulting imperfections which occur naturally when wrapping material around a cylinder.

The invention relates to a device for processing an end of a strip, in particular a metal strip (2), wound up into a coil (1), in particular for sampling and/or for inspection of the strip, with a winding device for unwinding the end of the strip. This device is characterized in that the winding device is formed as a coiler (9) with one or more rotatable coiler drums (10) for receiving the coil (1) and in that the coiler (9) is arranged on a transporting system (11), with which the coiler (9), and the coil (1) arranged on it, can be moved between various processing stations (3, 5, 6).

The invention relates to a coil transport pallet (8) for transporting a wound coil (6), with a support device (35) for temporarily supporting the wound coil (6), with a coupling unit (40) for coupling to a coil transport vehicle (11) and/or with rolling and/or sliding surfaces (29) for interaction with a ground conveyor device (15), wherein the coil transport pallet (8) has a through-opening (50) for guiding a pressing element (51) of a pressing mechanism (52) therethrough, for pressing at least one winding layer (49) and/or winding layer end (78) against the wound coil (6).

A mandrel with a biasing assembly that extends the mandrel's life for turning of sheet materials. The mandrel's biasing assembly having a pivot, sleeve, cup and screw that connect a gripper to the arbor and works to alleviate the forces that can cause damage to such a winding machine.

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.
