I could watch this kind of tech all day, the winding machine is absolutely beautiful with this precision servo motors and the syncronization involved is magnificent...!! Great video, ...!!!
This video was a big source of inspiration to me when I decided to design and build my own automatic winding machine. I used parts from an old wire EDM machine and an Arduino for the control system.
marvelous machine,congrats, i love the repourposed parts from other devices, the software must have been hard to tune with all thats going on at the same time. plans for the masses would be very helpfull to some. again congrats, bravo for a job very very well done. maybe explain # and type of wire/turns/taps for the transformer load and speaker. thank you for a great video and machine.
Hey! That is a great machine - probably the most neat DIY winder I've seen on the net! I'm about to build me one, so I kinda surfed for the ideas. Can you please explain me what does this gadget do? - it is right in the middle of the machine on rails and it seems to be some kind of a tension cushion for the wire because you wind it on a square carcass. How is it controlled? Thanks very much for any information! Cheers!
You can make a transformer for 6.3, 12.6 and 27 Volts A/C, or 4.45 ,8.9 and 19.09 Volts A/C if you want to RECTIFY IT TO D/C.This is one of the most perfect projects are made.I made a sound transformer for my tube amplifier and I made 900 turns,I was tired after that.You can also make step up transformer for the plates, super cool.Excellent robotic system.
This is really nice. The only thing missing is paper feed, cutter, etc. I know, I know, overkill. Really good work. Are you using a micro in between or is the control happening on the computer? I think an Arduino could handle this and the computer could supervise. That way if program crashes or reboot it still runs okay.
(What's the purpose of the middle sliding part ? i'm not sure if it's made to keep the tension constant and in sync with the shape variations from the square roll during the winding )
It forms part of the tension control feedback and fast tension control. It is spring loaded at some selected point (sometimes we see the operator move it by hand) and then there is an optical encoder pick-up on the near side and a slotted code strip (spring tensioned) like those we find in a contemporary desktop ink jet printer. The tension servo motor aims to maintain the slider at the desired position by controlling the spool torque and feeds or rewinds as required. The generous stroke length lets it absorb the wire take up variations due to the non circular nature of the bobbin but still keeping the average tension as close to the set value as possible. The large diameter idlers cause minimal bending and so less resistance until the last idler on the cross sled that is used to flex the wire a bit more to take out any natural curl before it is laid on the bobbin. Thin wires like this machine uses do not need a formal wire straightener as the copper is soft enough to stay in place.
Awesome. I am new to this. In regard to the wire positioning guide, does it advance by a setting you input or does it sense the wire thickness and advance based on that thickness?
Congratulations on the job! I know nothing of mechanics and am trying to build a machine like this. Could you talk a little about the engines? tork, voltage controller and etc. .. thank you.
How to make or "making"? Un poco de teoría sobre el "cómo calcular la fabricación del transformador para llevarlo a la propia fabricación" se apreciaría sobremanera. De todas formas interesante el video.
Where can I get a coil machine like this? Its awesome! I would appreciate if you could give me more information on this machine. Thanks for the video. Outstanding.
+Douglas Tees It looks like a homemade machine there are some tutoriasl on youtube about it but it requires some skills to build them, from basic microcontrollers/enconders and a drill to this.
@@oldestgamer Really? There are plenty of 1:1 audio transformers out there. 600 ohm to 600 ohm. It's called an isolation transformer. How's that for schooling?
So now your calling an isolation transformer an audio transformer, really? At best that is an interstage transformer, use your schooling and then the correct terminology.
I once had a job as a painters assistant - my duties were limited to watching the final product dry. It was slightly more stimulating than watching this video. Maybe some narration? maybe?
I can save you over 16 minutes. You wind a lot of wire around a core. People have wasted over 9,000 hours of their lives watching what I just described.
+Karen Smith his rolling wires for step up voltage on tube grills , they need high voltage . so one primary , 2 HV tubes , and 1 i dont know for support circuitry. You can do it by hand also , if you need it for youre project , this is semi commercial way...
Lack of explanation and poor framing. Interesting to watching but nothing learned about the why. After showing the entire machine once zoom on xfmr itself.
He pretends it takes 10 times more than reality. leave it to a Chinese manufacturer they would do it 10 times faster 3% lower quality 20 times cheaper.
I thought this was a proper documentary, instead we are watch winding coil using winding machine; which I have used many 100's times, how boring. You have wasted every body's time ?
