APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BENDING AND WINDING CONDUCTORS TO MAKE SUPERCONDUCTIVE COILS

摘要

The apparatus comprises a first working unit for unwinding a coil of conductor and providing straightened conductor, and a second working unit comprising a bending device arranged to bend the straightened conductor leaving the first working unit and a rotary table on which the bent conductor leaving the bending device is laid, whereby a set of turns is formed to make the superconductive coil. The rotary table is rotatably mounted about a stationary vertical axis. The bending device is mounted so as to be translatable both in a longitudinal direction coinciding with the direction of a longitudinal axis of the straightened conductor that is fed by the first working unit to the bending device and in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The first working unit is mounted so as to be translatable, along with the bending device, in the transverse direction only.

1. An apparatus for bending and winding conductors to make superconductive coils, the apparatus comprising:
a first working unit for unwinding a coil of conductor and providing straightened conductor, and a second working unit comprising a bending device arranged to bend the straightened conductor leaving the first working unit and a rotary table on which the curved conductor leaving the bending device is laid, whereby a set of turns is formed to make the superconductive coil; wherein the rotary table is rotatably mounted about a stationary vertical axis, and wherein the bending device is mounted so as to be translatable both in a longitudinal direction coinciding with the direction of a longitudinal axis of the straightened conductor that is fed by the first working unit to the bending device and in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and wherein the first working unit is mounted so as to be translatable, along with the bending device, in the transverse direction only.
