ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for densely packing wire in a storage drum is provided. A capstan is provided for pulling welding wire at a set rotational velocity. The welding wire is then provided to a rotatable laying head which receives the wire from the capstan, and in turn rotates with a storage drum placed on a rotatable turntable. As the welding wire is placed within the turntable in layers, the turntable is indexed relative to the storage drum axis and the rotational velocity of the capstan and laying head is altered, which causes the welding wire to be placed in a layer different from the first layer. This indexing is continued until the storage drum is full, forming alternating bands of welding wire to increase the packing density of the storage drum.
