Heavy duty coil winding machine series

A New model to the winding machine series.
IWM are pleased to annoyance the result of a 6 month research, development and design project for flat wire edge wound coils.

After extensive trials and research, we have developed a machine from the ground up, specifically designed for winding flat wire on it's thin edge.

This machine pushed the boundaries of what is achievable in relation to the aspect ratio of wire height Vs wire width & wire height Vs coil ID, whilst reducing the trapezoidal effect to a minimum !

WIRE SPEED CALCULATOR

Drawings, technical documents and specifications often describe the winding speed, but not the actual wire speed, optimising the wire speed can often bring you outside the specification of regulated tension and upgrading the tensioner to one that works is necessary to run at these high speeds.

Our fast and convenient calculator will make the conversion for you.
