Abstract
A device and a method for cutting a continuously travelling wire which emerges in the form of windings from a winding layer, wherein a cutting device arranged immediately following the winding layer. The cutting device includes a catching device for the targeted grasping of a winding arch and a device for cutting this winding arch. A device for controlling the sequence of movement of the catching and cutting devices are provided. The control takes place, for example, in dependence on the wire properties, such as, the wire diameter in the case of dimensional inaccuracies. In addition, the catching and cutting devices can be controlled in dependence on the position of operation of the winding layer.
