The cable will over the role 7 redirected and over the laying rollers 8th the winding cassette 21 fed by the engine 50 is rotated in a pre-determinable direction, ie clockwise or counterclockwise.

The winding cassette 21 is in the representation according to 1 and 2 in the first position, the winding cassette 22 in the second position.

The laying device causes the cable K according to a predetermined winding characteristic, as for example 11 it can be seen on the winding hat 14 in the winding cassette 21 , as 17 shows, is clamped, is hung up.

Of the Winding process is continued with the specified winding characteristic, until a predetermined Verwicklungsgrad of the winding hatch (degree of filling the winding cassette) is reached.

This predetermined Bewicklungsgrad does not correspond to the final Bewicklungsgrad of the wrapping, but considered the while the cassette change continues to take place winding of the winding.

Once this predetermined Bewicklungsgrad is reached, the controller outputs a signal through which the motor 45 is turned on and starts to turn.

At the same time, the engine is also 51 the empty winding cassette 22 , in which now an empty winding hat was clamped, turned on and brought to the required peripheral speed. The motor 51 turns in the same predeterminable direction as the engine 50 the winding cassette 21 ,

By the rotation of the engine 45 becomes the support plate 40 with the engines 50 . 51 and the winding cassettes 21 . 22 turned.

Will like 4a and 4b show the clockwise rotation of the support plate 40 also clockwise. Accordingly, the rotation of the support plate takes place 40 counterclockwise, like 5a and 5b show when being wound counterclockwise.

These rotations are performed in total by 180 °, so that the two winding cassettes 21 . 22 swap their position ( 4 and 5 ).

During this pivoting movement, the rotational movement of the winding cassette 21 continued, so that the cable continues according to the specified routing characteristics on the in this winding cassette 21 clamped wrap-around hat is wound up. The winding cassette 22 with clamped winding hat also rotates during the pivoting movement.

Since the laying roller continues the laying movement during the pivoting movement and then continues, the cable is now on the winding cassette 22 or on the winding hat of the winding cassette 22 over to the winding cassette 21 guided ( 4 and 5 ).

As soon as the winding cassettes or wrapping hats have their positions reversed and the cable length to be applied to the winding hatch is completely wound up, a downward movement of one on a capping device results 154 arranged roll 153 the cable, how out 1 can be seen, pressed down, that is, to a horizontal level, which is below the flange plates 54 . 55 lies.

When closing the cassette 22 becomes a catcher 76 moved outwards so that it protrudes and a residual gap is formed, which safely catches and jams the cable.

The catcher 76 grips the cable and moves it around or around the winding cassette in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The cable comes into contact with the cut-off steel of the capping device 154 by which it is cut off. The cable now wraps around the winding cap of the second winding cassette 22 ,

Because the winding cassette 21 continues to rotate, the cut end of the cable on the winding cap of the winding cassette 21 wound.

Simultaneously with the cutting process, the ring gripping plates 81 . 82 with the brushes 84 brought into contact with the winding. The brushes 84 Due to the brush structure, they grip the winding without the risk of damaging the surface of the winding and hold the cable end - regardless of the direction of rotation or winding.

As soon as the brushes are in contact with the winding, the motor of this winding cassette is braked and the winding cassette is opened by turning the winding cassette Piston-cylinder unit 32 raised and the quill 28 with the upper flange plate 25 is lifted from the winding hat.

Subsequently, the ring gripping device by operating the motor 102 with the sledge 101 the rail 100 moved along, eliminating the winding hat with cable ring from the lower flange disc 54 is deducted and spread along the table 105 emotional. The movement is stopped when the ring is on the conveyor 140 ,

As soon as the ring has reached this position, the ring gripping device opened again.

The Cycle times are designed to take the time required overall is to remove the winding hat with ring from the winding cassette and to carry it away is much less than the time the for the filling the winding cassette is required. Thus, it is possible the Continuously maintain operation without the cable feed in the winding device would have to be interrupted.
