Abstract
An automatic winder for a winding part includes a first spindle that rotates clockwise and a second spindle that rotates counterclockwise. A first grip is associated with the first spindle, and a second grip is associated with the second spindle. A guide mechanism is positioned between the first and second spindles, and receives the winding part from a part source and selectively feeds the winding part between the first spindle and the second spindle by selectively feeding the winding part to the first grip and the second grip, wherein said first and second grips are adapted to retain a grip on a lead end of the winding part that is defined by the cutting of the winding part.
