subject: Transformer Winding Equipment For Error Free And Consistent Parts [print this page] The electrical, electronics and telecommunications industry relies heavily on the use of small, medium and large coils. While winding coils and transformers was largely carried out manually till a few years ago, this process can now be carried out rapidly with the use of transformer winding equipment. Apart from offering error-free performance, these machines also need to be flexible, durable and energy-efficient. By choosing to automate this process, you can expect defect-free products, less downtime and an overall increase in your bottom lines.
Wound coils are use mainly for transformers, solenoids, trigger coils, telecom transformers and motors. Depending on the size of your coils, you have a variety of options in coil winding machines. These devices come loaded with an array of features to give you result-oriented operations. And, the functions of these machines are not limited to just winding. They also offer other services such as tension, traversing and de-spooling. Through these end-to-end services, you can imagine the amount of time you shall save.
It is also important to mention here that modern transformer winding equipment comes with an LCD interface that allows you to choose the desired size of coil to be wound, the speed, and turns.
In this article, we shall now discuss the different types of coil winding machines available in the market today:
1. Light duty machines: These machines are suitable for really small coils. There are different models that help you hand wind coils as well as slightly more advanced models that offer high volume production of smaller coils. You would mostly find bench mounted machines in this range.
2. Medium duty machines: These machines are suitable for slightly thicker coils that need to be wound in a round, square or diamond shaped manner. The many models available under this category would offer features such as precise speed control, instant reverse, and repeatability.
3. High duty machines: This particular range offers high pulling power for extra thick coil up to 8000 lbs. What most customers love about these machines is the fact that they offer soft and smooth start-and-stop. This is important to ensure that no damage is caused to the coil during the winding process. These particular machines are mostly available with infinitely variable speed ranges.
There are certain manufacturers that also sell industrial ovens along with coil winding machines. These industrial ovens are used for a variety of operations such as burn-offs, drying and curing on a large scale.
In fact, for curing metals and certain types of fiber board curing ovens can be specifically used. They are ideal for elevating part temperatures to achieve smooth and secure material coating performance. Curing ovens are also used for pre-heating and drying.
To sum it up, if you are looking for consistently wound coils and less downtime, you certainly stand to benefit by investing in transformer winding equipment.
