A winding device includes: a winding core having a winding body and flanges provided on both sides of the winding body in a rotation-axis direction, the winding core being configured such that a wire rod supplied from a supply source is wound around the winding body being rotated; a guide member configured to be rotated together with the winding core, the guide member being configured to guide the wire rod to the winding body; and an axial-direction moving mechanism configured to move the guide member in the rotation-axis direction of the winding core.

A bobbin loader apparatus and method includes a bobbin connected with a first motor. A thread holder is connected with a second motor where the thread holder is configured to hold thread. A thread guide is connected with a third motor where the thread guide directs thread from the thread holder to the bobbin. A motor controller is connected with the first motor, the second motor and the third motor where the motor controller operates the first motor to turn the bobbin in a first direction and the second motor to turn the thread holder in a second direction such that tension is applied to the thread as thread is added to the bobbin.

A winding apparatus includes a wire position support including first and second wire route hole in which first and second wires, respectively, are inserted, a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around a core of a coil component such that the first and second wires are wound around the core while twisted, a rotator that rotates the core, and a controller that controls the winding driver and the rotator. The controller performs first control, which orbitally revolves the wire position support in a first direction and rotates the core in an opposite second direction opposite, and second control, which orbitally revolves the wire position support in the second direction and rotates the core in the first direction, and switches between the first and second controls based on a predetermined condition, to prevent a kink of a wire between a wire feeder and a wire position support.

A winding apparatus for a coil component in which wires are wound around a core. The winding apparatus includes a wire position support including wire route holes in which the wires are inserted, a wire feeder that feeds the wires to the wire position support such that tension is applied to the wires, a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around the core such that the wires are wound around the core while twisted, a rotator that rotates the core, and a controller that controls the winding driver and the rotator. The controller controls a rotation direction of the core with regard to an orbital revolution direction of the wire position support and an orbital revolution speed of the wire position support to prevent generation of a kink of a wire between a wire feeder and the wire position support.

A winding apparatus includes a first rotation body, and a wire position support, inserted in an insertion hole outside a center axis of the first rotation body, and including first and second wire route holes in which first and second wires are inserted, respectively. The winding apparatus further includes a second rotation body having a center axis and separated from the first rotation body, a shaft body outside the center axis, a synchronous rotation component coupling the wire position support and the shaft body while unrotatably fixed to the wire position support, a winding driver that synchronously rotates the first and second rotation bodies, and inner bearings disposed between the wire position support in the insertion hole and the first rotation body, in which the wire position support is journaled with respect to the first rotation body. Thus, the wire position support revolves orbitally about a core without rotating.

A winding apparatus includes a wire position support including a first feeder including a first wire route hole in which a first wire is inserted and a second feeder including a second wire route hole in which a second wire is inserted, and a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around a core. The wire position support includes a regulator that regulates movement of the first wire and the second wire such that, when the wire position support revolves orbitally around the core, such that the first wire passes on an opening end surface from which the second wire is fed in the second wire route hole while the second wire passes on an opening end surface from which the first wire is fed in the first wire route hole. Accordingly, the wires are prevented from being entangled in the wire position support.
