ABSTRACT:
Winding method and apparatus for consecutively winding filamentary material (FM) on respective first and second mandrels, wheerein first and second independently operable spindles are mounted for rotation about respective parallel-spaced axes located in a horizontal plane of a winding apparatus frame; first and second mandrels are removably mounted respectively on each of the first and second spindles; a traverse mechanism mounted to the apparatus frame for movement between the parallel-spaced axes and for reciprocating movement along an axis parallel to, and spaced from, the parallel-spaced axes; independently rotating each of the first and second spindles; moving a traverse guide in cooperation with the independent rotation to consecutively wind FM on the first and second mandrels; transfer mechanism movably mounted to the apparatus frame for guiding FM from at least one of a first and second mandrel each having FM wound thereon to at least one of a second and first empty mandrel; and for each the first and second mandrels, a transfer arm pivotable about a pivot point adjacent the respective mandrel for guiding the FM onto a respective one of the first and second mandrels during transfer of the FM from a mandrel having FM wound thereon to an empty mandrel; and controlling the independent rotation, reciprocation and the transfer mechanism for moving the traverse guide adjacent at least one of the first empty and second empty mandrel in coordination with rotation of that transfer arm associated with the mandrel to which FM is to be transfered for winding onto an empty mandrel.
