Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8100974A1] A cyclically operable spring coiling machine has a pair of feed rolls (12, 14 and 16, 18) for intermittently advancing wire to a coiling station (20). A coiling arbor (32) and tool (34) at the coiling station (20) cooperatively form leading end portions of the wire to a coil spring configuration and a cutoff tool (36) severs the coiled leading end portions of the wire to provide individual coil springs. Feed roll drive means includes drive gears (80, 82, 84, 86), a unidirectional clutch, and a feed roll cam (60) with an associated follower (64) and lever (66) driving a reciprocable rack (88) associated with a feed roll drive gear (74). Low inertia reciprocating and oscillating elements are provided for accurate and high speed machine operation.
