Device and method for winding

摘要

A device for fixing, by helically winding, a tape (5) around a body or revolution (12) comprises a distributor (16) of the tape (5) with start end (7) able to adhere to the body (12) and an automatic winding start device (20) associated with the distributor. The starting device (20) has two eccentric rollers (30, 32) arranged to be able to pinch the start end (7) of the tape (5) at the exit of the distributor (16); at a position separated from the body (12). The two rollers pinching the tape and are moved into a position applied to the body of revolution (12) so that the tape is driven by the rollers that are driven by contact with the revolving body. The two rollers (30, 32) are mounted on a movable support. One roller (32) is fixed rigidly to the support and the other (30) can be moved against it to find the tape end. The whole assembly (20) is then moved on the support (22) to contact the body of revolution.
