Abstract:
A device for endless coiling of strip material to form a plurality of coils, each coil having a respective leading edge and trailing edge, the device comprising:a support; first and second coil drums spaced from one another on the support and displaceable together in opposite directions along the support such that displacement of the drums in one of the directions moves the first drum to a first initial position and moves the second drum to a respective second finish position spaced from the first initial position, and displacement of the drums in the opposite direction moves the second drum into a second initial position and moves the first drum to a respective first finish position spaced from the at least one initial position; each of the first and second drums being rotatable to receive the leading edge of a respective coil while the drum is in the respective first or second initial position and to continue winding the coil in the first and second finish positions of the drums, respectively; the first and second coil drums being alternately displaceable from the respective first and second finish positions to a respective first and second coil removal position, at which a respective wound coil of strip material is removable from the respective one of the first and second coil drums.
