Abstract
An arrangement for winding and unwinding a cable on and from a drum, respectively, in an automatic winding machine having two gripping pins connected to a device for displacing the pins vertically between a fixed upper winding position and a lower drum gripping position, and a drive wheel operated by a pressure device and connected to an adjusting device for displacing the wheel to an operating position against the drum flange. In order to fully automate the adjustment of the wheel and the regulation of its pressure in accordance with the size and material of the flange, a detector is provided for detecting the vertical distance of the pin from the floor plane in the gripping position as an indication of flange diameter; and the detector is arranged to control, on the basis of the detected distance, both the adjusting device of the wheel to adjust the drive wheel to an operating position corresponding to the flange diameter, and the pressure device to regulate the pressure of the wheel against the flange with a force corresponding to the flange diameter.
