A winding apparatus is disclosed for winding of filamentary material. The apparatus includes a first and second spindles. They are independently operable and rotate about parallel spaced horizontal axes. First and second mandrels are removably mounted on the respective spindles. A traverse guide is mounted to the frame of the apparatus for reciprocating movement along an axis parallel to, and spaced from, the horizontal axes. The reciprocating of the traverse guide is effected in cooperation with independent rotary drives of the spindles to consecutively wind the filamentary material on the first and second mandrels. The apparatus is further equipped with transfer device movably secured to the frame and adapted to guide the filamentary material which extends from the traverse guide from a completely wound first or second mandrel to the other unwound mandrel for winding thereon. A control device governs the operation of the drives for independently rotating the spindles, the reciprocating means and the transfer means for successively winding the material onto one or the other mandrel in a desired universal wind. The advance in the art is in that a high speed winding apparatus is provided for automatically transferring the filament from one rotating winding diameter to another non- rotating winding diameter to enable the filament to be wound in an essentially non-stop operation. The traverse mechanism operates at higher speeds than that of the barrel cam configurations of known traverse mechanisms thereby improving the productivity of the operation.
