Coil Winding Machines, Stick Type
This equipment essentially consists of rotating arbor on which a long tube is mounted. The tube, which does not have flanges at this point, serves as the coil form on which the magnet wire is wound. Various tensioning devices and feeding mechanisms are required to feed the wire from spools and distribute it to the winding tube. A number of coils are wound at one time on a single spool with tape for holding purposes and insulation applied as necessary. After the winding is completed, the tube is cut apart into individual coils.
