great stuff! I am going to do the same kind of a machine. Checked the arduino-based machines and that's lots of work. No time for this. I just need a few coils to be made for a magnetic bearing, doing a high precision 3d printer here. Semi-automatic approach is the best of two worlds, and if you do it with the idea of being upgraded later then it is the ideal solution.
Nice coil winder, think I will be building one for myself, think I've figured a way to move the wire left and right with an auto feed, also adjustable for different thicknesses of wire.
Make it Arduino based. Then you'll get perfect windings. I have done it. I even made 40k rounds high voltage transformer with it with thick plastic insulation between each layer.
So once you got the first layer why did you start from the left end at same density ? I thought it’s better to take the wire to the right and start coiling again .. for an electromagnet it might be more efficient isn’t it ?
Você o projeto da parte mecânica para me enviar ?Estou com dificuldades para desenvolver ,quero fazer uma bobinadeira para enrolar bobina de maquina de solda .
are you interested in bulding one for us . i can let you know details if your interested . we started to build one but just dont have the time as we have numorous projects going on , let me know .
Excellent video very nice setup like to build coil 4 inch diameter with 18G wire 9 to 11 ohm for a levitation project I have build 12 coil for local school, is it possible to receive parts list so I can build one to, Ve6but at shaw.ca Best regards Tosif
