Abstract
A machine for winding magnetic tapes onto cassettes with a preparation assembly and a filling assembly disposed one in front of the other. The filling assembly has support and unwinding means for a reel of magnetic tape, a support and filling seat for the cassette and a cutting and jointing area comprising cutting means and jointing means. The preparation assembly comprises in turn a temporary support seat for the empty cassette and extractor means operable in such a manner as to extract a middle portion of connecting tape from the empty casette and dispose it in front of the cutting and jointing area of the filling assembly. First transfer means are operable to transfer the cassette from the temporary support seat of the preparation assembly to the support and filling seat of the filling assembly, and second transfer means operable to simultaneously transfer the already extracted connecting tape from the preparation assembly to the cutting and jointing area of the filling assembly.
