Abstract
A double-lay stranding machine for laying a predetermined amount of wire or stranded material on a reel comprises a lifting table for transfering empty reels to a reel carrier and for removing the full reels therefrom, the lifting table being provided with a pair of rollers for enabling the unwinding of a predetermined length of wire or strand from a wound reel during the removal process. The portion of the strand extending between a removed reel and a laying roller is automatically cut and held by a gripping and severing device. Upon the loading of an empty reel into the carrier, the leading free end portion of the wire or strand is automatically clamped to the outside surface of a reel flange and brought over the rim of the flange prior to a winding operation.
