Abstract
A machine for winding a cable on a circular area (100), the cable (10) arriving vertically above the center of said area and being deployed by a deployment wheel (11), said area including an inner ring wall (102) and an outer ring wall (103) delimiting a winding tank therebetween, the machine comprising a stand (2) removably mounted at the center of the inner ring wall of the tank, a generally vertical pillar (3) rotatably mounted on said stand, and a hinged guide arm (4) for guiding the cable from leaving the deployment wheel to a winding end (8) of adjustable radial position thereby enabling: firstly successive coils to be laid next to one another as the cable is wound; and secondly the guide arm to be stored along the pillar when not in use. The machine is particularly intended for use when loading cable onto cable ships.
