Winding Machine Axial Displacement for Coil Collision Prevention

The invention introduces a displacement device that moves finished coils axially (in the longitudinal direction) to create an offset between coils on adjacent spindles. This axial displacement adds a dimensional solution to the spatial conflict, allowing coils to be positioned at different axial locations rather than requiring increased radial distance between spindles. The displacement device creates a staggered arrangement where finished coils are shifted axially relative to active coils, preventing collision while maintaining compact spindle spacing.

The invention employs a dynamic displacement device that actively adjusts the axial position of finished coils during the winding process. Rather than relying on fixed spindle spacing, the system dynamically repositions coils to optimize both safety and compactness. The displacement device can be actuated at appropriate moments to shift coils axially, creating time-dependent spatial arrangements that adapt to the winding cycle phase and removal timing.

The displacement device performs preliminary action by positioning finished coils axially before removal is needed. By pre-displacing coils to offset positions, the system prepares the spatial arrangement in advance, creating a safety buffer that accommodates faster infeed speeds. This preliminary positioning ensures that even at high productivity rates, the axial offset is already established, preventing collision regardless of how quickly new coils are formed.
