Update 2/24/2022: I've uploaded the STL files for the machine. Note that not all of these parts are used in the final iteration and I didn't sort them yet
www.thingiverse.com/thing:526...
Update 1/17/2022: Schematics and code are linked below. Currently I only have the values for 26 AWG in the code so you'll have to extrapolate for other wire gauges

But code is not upload in arduino uno at mega 328 p

@HyperspacePirate 2 года назад

@@_Aryan98 If you're using the Atmega 328p chip without the arduino you need to burn the bootloader first and use Tools -> Board -> breadboard avr -> ATMega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal clock). Also check that you're giving the chip 5V and make sure its ground pin is tied to the ground of the arduino you're using to upload code

@shawncalderon4950 Год назад

You are brilliant!

@boulos007 Год назад

The issue you tried to solve with limit switches is what we call in yarn winding "lip breaking". the reason is simple : as you lay one layer over the other, the motor basically stops to reverse, which automatically means that it lays x2 on the particular point. Also the speed of the winding affects it because the motor basically never stops on the spot (even with high end servos). The solution is to break the speed a couple of mm before the ends and to implement the lip breaking : you lay a couple of layers at full length and then others at length - x . The number of winds on full and those on full-x need to be programmable

@kekunfica 5 месяцев назад

I made a similar winder but for textile threads, I solved this issue by speeding up the follower/guide when it comes within few mm of the edge to almost the double speed. Also one other factor that probably helped is that I made guide part as light as possible and left the motor at full step mode so it can change direction faster without losing steps. It needs a bit of tweaking with the speed but its easy to calibrate.

I am blown away by your channel. You are doing such a great job on these videos. I appreciate what you are doing here and am learning alot!

@Mikhael1313 2 года назад

Very insightful and creative as usual, and I like how you come up with creative solutions to achieve desired outcome. One thing I might suggest is that the wire that is being fed to the winder needs more tension points (ex. wires go around pully gears with spring tension), and the Feedpoint should have a tension of sorts which presses the wire down or up depending on the vertical height difference between the Spool and Feedpoint.

@alocin110 Год назад

I have been watching your videos for few weeks. I accidently hit your channel but I am glad I did. Your videos are very inspiring, real world design, and well explained. You are a true engineer who knows how to implement ideas into workable results. Thank you very much for the details, schematic, and explanations on solving the issues. Great teaching skills you have. I watched it with great interest. Thank you for sharing. I liked your channel and also subscribed to it.

I find myself needing a solenoid winder, sort of like you've done here. Thanks for the ideas!

@Meccanokinematics Год назад

Great vid. If you want to avoid any electrical noise by your stepper motors don't use A4988 or DRV8825 drivers, but TMC drivers, like TMC 2226. These are socalled silent steppers. After substituting my DRV drivers by silentsteppers I was absolutely astonished! Steppermotors were silent. No vibrations either whatsoever. Philips has written a very interesting paper about orthocyclic coil winding in the early 60's. They were able to make perfect orthocyclic coils after more than 2 years of research. If you want I can mail the paper to you.

@anthonybaransky137 Год назад

All I can say is WOW. I used to work in a cable manufacturing company and I ran a machine like you built but the machine that I ran could take up to an 84" spool. And the had rewinder machines that could run a 10' spool

@nerddub Год назад

Aweosme project! Looks like you could improve the compactness of the coils maybe by replacing / modifying the sliding mechanism with a linear rail or a carriage with v-slot wheels and maybe adding a wire tensioning system, the motion of the wire outlet moving down the track looks pretty wobbly, but for ease of use and ability to make many different kinds of coiis within your frame, this is great!

@wtechboy18 Год назад

I have a suggestion! Instead of using a fixed clamped feed point, what about using a free-swinging feed arm that has a tiny roller on the end, so that the feed point is always basically sitting directly on the surface of the existing coil and just "rolls" against the surface? You could have your feed distance be almost zero with that setup.

@txkflier 7 месяцев назад

Excellent work. It could very easily be adapted to winding guitar pickups. However, uniform-wound pickups have more distributed capacitance due to the wraps of wire being mostly parallel to each other. To decrease the distributed capacitance, the wraps need to be laid down randomly. The stepper motor that moves the wire guide could be programmed to do that. Or, it could just be sped up so that each wrap is further away from the previous wrap.

@whatelseison8970 Год назад

This is awesome! I've been wanting to build one of these for some time now. Lately I've come into quite a few nice little steppers from label printing machines I found so I've started gathering supplies and thinking of a design for a sort of general purpose desktop CNC rig for laser, router and hopefully 3D printing but I may just have to take the plunge and buy a commercial rig for the latter. Regarding this thing though, you might be able to get even better performance and open up the possibility of using less-than-pristine magnet wire if you use a wire guide based on a series of brass V pulleys arranged in 2 rows with the wire zig-zagging between them. With a 90 degree V in the pulleys the arrangement naturally straightens the wire in both transverse axes simultaneously and can even be driven to precisely regulate the wire speed regardless of the upstream tension. I've been messing around with using that method just to straighten salvaged wire (seriously, who _buys_ wire? lol 😜) with good results.

@gfr2023 11 месяцев назад

9:40 you have to look at textile machinery to find the simple solution for correct wire alignment. Yes the feed point must be near the bobbin you are winding but the spool from which the wire come from must be offset aside from the feed point. basically you want the wire touch always the same edge of the hole. If not the wire will go left and right random. Tensioning the wire is very simple and precise if you copy design from textile machinery, your method does not guarantee constant tension because the spool changes diameter as the wire is consumed.

Looks like the follower is not going fast enough (timestamp 10:52+). The Angle theta is clearly increasing overtime in both direction (easier to see with video playing at x2). It could be an idea to check the calibration of the follower axis. Just my 2 cents. Great video. Thanks

@simonlaker2139 2 года назад

Generally the winding machines I've worked on don't use the spool weight to get the tension. They stand upright and de-spool from the top through a cone /funnel. The wire then goes through two rollers. First the wire goes around 420 deg (over one turn and comes out at 90 deg from entry point) This is the tensioner roller that has a felt pad at the end that is tightened for appropriate tension. Wire leaves at 90 deg from entry. Then goes up to second roller, does a 90 deg turn, then goes through a v roller. This keeps it center of the moving carriage.

A tesla winding automated: Tesla coil winding machine - powered by Arduino Nano Kaj Luukko Now.. I's get a Mini Lathe and automate it.. and you have to calculate the wire stepping into the 'groove', perhaps at the end having 'soft(er)' foam rubber [paper] ends.. and slowing down the winding process (, also with an inspection camera set to spot the jump; 4 core Raspberry Pi) I think you have to much backlash on your screw - spring tension it. (An automatic lacquer brush.. LoL) Well, one step at a time according to need ... Good show.. I couldn't determine if your coil holder came apart....

@glasslinger 4 месяца назад

Have you ever tried simply feeding that size wire by hand? It will be as easy, and give exactly the same coil result as you are now getting without all the complication. The first thing to do is DISMANTLE SOME OLD TRANSFORMERS! This will give you an idea on what is REQUIRED to get an even wind. (separator paper layers are MANDATORY for multi-layer coils with even lay. Use fine wire (#30 or smaller) in your tests. This is MUCH more difficult to wind than the huge wire you are now using. Also look at the design of professional coil winders. (US patent office) The way you are currently trying will end in frustration and piles of junked parts! (been there done that!)

@L3X369 Год назад

Why not put the foam pads in the wire follower? this way the wire is always a bit tensioned on the coil that is being winded.

@adamw2785 3 месяца назад

How hard would it be to modify so that it could wind and cut a shape of copper wire called "spiral prismatic packing"? It's like a coil, but instead of a circle it's triangular, and that triangle slowly rotates as you move down the coil, but I think this rotation happens naturally when the cut pieces are removed from the die, due to the springiness of the wire. Probably not explaining it right, google images should help explain it better. A tool like that would be super helpful in the hobby distilling world, where copper SPP (used for fractionating column packing) is expensive and overpriced.

Hm. A magnet put into a copper pipe will slowly fall due to induction. If you make the pipe an electromagnet and turn it on while the magnet is falling I'm guessing the magnet will either shoot out faster at the bottom or be repelled out the top depending on the direction of the magnetic field? I don't recall anyone doing a video on that.
