ABSTRACT:
A winding system for winding a filament includes a winder having a winder support with a rotatably winding head. A spool for scoring filament is rotatably mounted on the head and the head is provided with a filament dispensing eye which can be rotated in a circular path for winding a mandrel. The mandrel is held at a fixed location. A robot mnaipulator arm is connected to the winder and indexes the winder to a plurality of positions around the fixed mandrel. At each selected position, the winding head is rotated by a selected amount to achieve any complex or simple winding cofiguration, in a plurality of planes.
