Abstract
A turn table is connected to a rotary shaft of a driving motor for driving a wire reel coaxially therewith. The wire reel is connected onto this turn table. With this arrangement, the wire reel is directly driven by the driving motor. Accordingly, the period of time needed for acceleration or deceleration for the driving motor can be shortened, so that through-put can be improved. Furthermore, for the driving motor, a motor being low in inertia, i.e., a small-sized motor can be used, so that a driving section can be made compact in size. Further, a space for a belt transmission mechanism, which has heretofore been necessary, can be saved, so that the driving section can be made compact in size.
