Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'évacuation/introduction automatique de bobines dans une machine de formation/transformation desdites bobines. Ledit dispositif combine une unité de bobinage (4) avec un matériau en bande enroulé sur un mandrin (2a, 2b) fixé sur un axe porte-bobines (7, 12) dont les extrémités sont rattachées à ladite unité (4) au moyen d'accouplements (8). Un axe porte-bobines (7, 12) pourvu d'un mandrin (2b) comportant une bobine complète (1) est remplacé par un axe porte-bobines (7, 12) pourvu d'un mandrin vide (2a). Ledit procédé consiste : à découpler de l'unité de bobinage (4) les accouplements (8) de l'axe porte-bobines (7, 12), à soulever et à soutenir la bobine complète (1), puis à retirer ledit axe porte-bobines (7, 12) pourvu d'une bobine complète (1) pour l'amener à une zone extérieure ; à soutenir ledit axe porte-bobines (7, 12) par une de ses extrémités (7a, 12a) pendant le remplacement du mandrin (2a) pourvu d'une bobine complète (1) par le mandrin vide (2b) au moyen de mouvements axiaux d'introduction/extraction ; enfin, à réinstaller l'axe porte-bobines (7, 12), pourvu dudit mandrin vide (2a) et soutenu par ladite extrémité (7a, 7b), dans les accouplements (8) de l'unité de bobinage (4).
