Abstract (en)

In the process and machine of the invention, a band (2) is fed continuously between a pair of rollers (3a, 3b) which turn the band (2) into a spiral (4), into a central space of which a succession of support shafts (A, B) is advanced in order that the spiral forming is achieved about the continuously advancing support shafts. A welder (8) fixes the spiral (4) to each support shaft, and a cutting device (9) cuts the spiral into lengths, each of which lengths of spiral is fixed to a single shaft. Variably-stepped spirals can also be produced using the invention, with very good precision and relatively simply. <IMAGE>
