The Coil Winders we tested on are both our own production machines and use stepper motors\u00a0for both the feeder arm and bobbin\u00a0motor assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the software you will see you can set the pulses per revolution for the bobbin motor and the pulses per revolution along with pulses per 1mm travel on the feeder arm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure your Coil Winder is Set to the left side of the bobbin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now set your Bobbin Diameter, Wire Size, Total Windings and RPM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now finally click on the Start button and it will send out the commands set and start the Coil Winder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watching the video below will give a better overview.<\/span><\/p>\n
