WAVE WINDING DEVICE

A wave winding apparatus for producing wave windings has a winding unit (1) which has a winding blade device (10) which is rotatable about a winding axis (A) in a winding direction (P1) and on which a winding wire (4) is intended to be wound. The winding apparatus has at least one wire feeding device (2a, 2b) which feeds the winding wire (4) to the winding unit (1) in a feeding direction (Y) in order to wrap the winding blade device (10); furthermore, a transporting device (3) which is designed to transport the winding wire (4) wound up on the winding blade device (10) to form a wave winding in a transporting direction (X) parallel to the winding axis (A). The transporting device (3) has a conveying arrangement (31, 32) which moves the wave winding through the transporting device (3) in the transporting direction (X). The conveying arrangement (31, 32) is mounted in the transporting device (3) so as to be rotatable in the winding direction (P1) about an axis of rotation (A) extending coaxially with the winding axis.
