ABSTRACT:
The disclosed wire spooler is adapted for use in winding wire onto a spool and may be used with various kinds of spools, including the type having at least one tapered end flange, so that the traversing guide, which guides the wire onto the spool during the winding, has to move with strokes of increasing length as the spool fills with wire. The necessary increases in the traversing guide strokes are brought about by a means establishing end limits at each of which the direction of movement of the traversing guide is reversed, and by a means for widening such end limits as the total rotation of the spool increases. A pulse generator and a pair of interconnected units, each including a counter, a reference number store and a comparator, operating on a reversing mechanism, are specifically disclosed as the spool rotation measuring means, the end limit establishing means and end limit widening means. The spooler also allows the winding of a given length of wire into a groove adjacent the outboard end of a tapered flange of the spool at the start of the winding process to provide access to the starting portion of the wire after the spool is fully wound.
