Abstract

A multiple spindle winding machine includes a conveyor belt for advancing a plurality of workpiece carriers frictionally engaged thereto to a winding station and a processing station. Each workpiece carrier includes at least two spaced apart coil holding fixtures rigidly secured to a base plate and cooperable with the winding station. A lifting device having guide rails laterally displaced from the conveyor elevates one of the workpiece carriers from the conveyor belt to the winding station. The winding station includes a wire guide and a cutting device mounted to a pivotable arm for providing wire to be wound around a coil. Wire residue is collected by a holding pin positioned on the workpiece carrier.
