Abstract
A winding machine for winding a fiber texture on an impregnation mandrel, the winding machine including: a takeup mandrel for storing a fiber texture, the takeup mandrel having an axis of rotation; an impregnation mandrel for having superposed layers of the fiber texture stored on the takeup mandrel wound thereon, the impregnation mandrel having an axis of rotation that is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the takeup mandrel; at least one electric motor for driving the mandrels in rotation about their respective axes of rotation; and a control unit for controlling the at least one electric motor for driving the mandrels in rotation.
