Abstract
A winding machine includes a handling unit which is configured to enable positioning of the winding reel. Advantageously, it is possible to adjust the height and the distance of the winding reel with respect to the central unit of the winding machine according to the diameter of the coil and to the height of the worker assigned to supervise the winding process. The handling unit can be operated by an electric motor or manually and improves ergonomics and flexibility of the winding machine, particularly by increasing safety for the operators and by reducing machine setup.
