A process for winding up and binding, by means of a tape of plastic film, lengths of filiform elements, such as cables, ropes and the like, in particular mains cords, wound in the form of skeins, and a machine to implement such process

摘要

The process and the relating machine (1)for winding up and binding, by means of a tape, lengths of filiform elements, such as cables, ropes and the like, in particular mains cords (3), involve two main working stations (4, 6) which are complementary to each other. Station (4) for preparing the skein (M) is served by a clamp group (40) which takes the cord (3) and positions it, for winding up, around a couple of pins (43) spaced ad lib. Subsequently, a clamp group (60) grasps the skein, transferring it to the binding station (6) where a couple of lateral clamps (66,66') lower it onto a tape (70) of thermo-weldable plastic material which envelops the skein around its middle portion, which tape is welded and cut in such a manner so as to maintain it continuous and in a stretched condition. <IMAGE>
