A cable processing system includes a cable supply unit supplying a cable. A cable coiling unit of the system coils the supplied cable into a cable coil. The coiled cable is bundled by a cable coil binding unit. A cable coil loading unit loads the bundled cable coil, and a cable coil conveying unit conveys the bundled cable coil to the cable coil loading unit.

A winding module and a winding installation including winding modules for winding metal wire. In such a winding installation or take-up bench a driven capstan is used to pull the metal wire through a processing installation before being led onto a take-up spool. The spool is driven by a cantilever supported shaft. In prior art take-up benches, both the capstan and the spool is reachable by an operator from the same side. This means that the capstan direction—the direction from the driven side of the capstan to the operator side—is equal to the shaft direction—the direction from the drive side of the shaft to the open end of the shaft. In the inventive winding module the capstan direction is opposite to the shaft direction, which provides a completely different operation of the winding module and the winding installation and facilitates the introduction of doffing robots.

The present invention is an automatic cut and transfer coiler and spooler apparatus, system and method for use generally comprising a rotatable turret with two independently driven spindles thereon wherein the drives for the independent spindles are attached to the turret for selectively rotating the spindles about their own axis independently.

A cable coiling device comprises a cable coiling mechanism adapted to coil a cable to form a cable roll, and a cable clamping mechanism. The cable clamping mechanism clamps and fixes an end segment of the cable during coiling the cable. The end segment has a predetermined length and is adapted to be processed while the cable is coiled.

A cable tensioning capstan assembly comprises a capstan drum and at least a first traction flange. The capstan drum may be configured to support a cable (e.g., a cable is configured to wrap around the capstan drum), and the capstan drum may be configured to rotate about an output axis. The first traction flange may be disposed adjacent the first axial end of the capstan drum and configured to rotate about the output axis. In various embodiments, the first traction flange is independently rotatable relative to the capstan drum. A clutch assembly between an input shaft and the first traction flange may facilitate the independent rotatability of the first traction flange.
