A wire manipulator at an individual coil winder has an arm pivotably and slidably attached to a support column itself slidable along a path parallel to a wire segment extending from a winding station to a fully wound spool at a coil changing station upon termination of a winding operation. A clamping head at the free end of the manipulator arm is provided with a wire severing device in the form of a cutting edge, an electrical circuit or a small torch.

Individual coil winder with automatic coil change

Filamentary material is continuously wound on a pair of rotating spools, provided with feed means for excursively drawing the material to the spools and a transfer device for changing the feed of the material from one spool to the other. The transfer device is moved from association with the spool around which the material is being first wound to the spool around which the material is to be next wound in advance of the actual changeover of feed of said material from one spool to the other.
