head and regulated by a controller 610 621 depending on the control system of the two electric motors 60 61 the tension of the conveyor element 3 or the radial pressure on the body 10 necessary for the winding process is generated for the winding process the body 10 is placed in a loop 30 formed by the conveyor element 3 for this the two side pieces 50 51 are divided in the horizontal direction and each pair of side pieces 50 51 forms a front housing part a or a rear housing part b the two housing parts a b can be shoved apart in the horizontal direction a so that the body 10 can be placed in the loop 30 between the two housing parts a b after the body 10 is put in place the two housing parts a b are shoved together once more and fixed to each other in direction r for this end stops 508 518 are provided on the housing parts a b according to fig1 by which the housing parts a b lie against each other in a direction r the housing parts a b thus have a definite spacing 510 the stretched conveyor element 3 lies as shown in fig8 as an example against the circumferential surface of the body 10 between the body 10 and the conveyor element 3 the metal strip 20 is introduced the conveyor element 3 is driven in one or both directions of conveyance 32 33 depending on the sample embodiment and the metal strip 20 is drawn in continuously the drawing in of the metal strip 20 and the shaping of the metal strip 20 by the conveyor element 3 becomes more.
