Patent ID: 8382024

Claim:
A device for providing wire and controlling the drive of a reel, comprising: a wire supply in the form of a coil on the reel, from which the wire, through interposition of a tensioning device, is spring-pretensioned in one deflection direction and effective up to a maximum deflection for approximated stabilization of a wire tension to a wire infeed device for a downstream positioned wire processing machine; whereby a velocity curve of an infeed rate of the wire infeed device in accordance with a preset velocity-time profile is controlled by a control unit of the wire processing machine, and whereby a rotation speed of the reel in accordance with a preset rotation speed-time profile is controlled by a drive control of the reel, whereby the drive control of the reel starts the rotation in accord with the rotation speed-time profile of the reel set forward by a preset time interval with respect to the velocity-time profile of the infeed rate.
