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 winding device suitable for winding at least one strip on a mandrel. According to one embodiment the winding device includes a pressure assembly configured to press a strip against the surface of the mandrel when winding the strip. The pressure assembly comprises a first pressure unit which is coupled to and rotates together with the mandrel from a first winding position to a second winding position while the first pressure unit presses on the strip. The pressure assembly further comprises a second pressure unit that is attached to the first pressure unit, and that is configured for pressing on the strip when the first pressure unit reaches the second winding position, allowing forward movement of the strip in the winding direction when the mandrel rotates.
