For a versatile and cost effective solution, the NCT Narrow Coil Taping machine offers a simple solution to dramatically reduce the time taken when taping narrow wind turbine generator stator coils.

Ridgway's Narrow Coil Taping machine offers a versatile, cost effective, yet simple solution for the taping of narrow coil configurations. This innovative design solves a common problem where traditional taping machines have limited access to both sides of the coil.

The universal coil support system, manufactured to accommodate various designs of wind turbine generator stator coils, incorporates a coil turn-over facility. This feature eliminates the need to remove and reposition the coil in order to tape both coil sides hence improving coil productivity.

Servo drives

▼ With the NCT machine supplied as a turnkey system, the lateral movement of the taping head is controlled via a servo motor driven ball screw. This in turn is synchronised with the servo motors that drive the rotational aspect of the taping head. It is through the action of this complex head motion that the narrow coils are accurately taped. This results in a very precise process that consistently provides high quality taped stator coils.

Constant tension control

▼ With a variable, programmable tape pitch of between 5mm and 23mm, the Ridgway Machines NCT is designed with a high specification as standard, features also include constant tension control, programmable between 20N and 50N, whilst auto reverse at the end of each pass allows for uninterrupted, multiple tape layers.

Programmable

▼ The machine is programmable to set the number of layers required for each coil side, auto reversing at the end of each pass.

Operator HMI control

▼ Operated via a user friendly HMI control module, the Ridgway NCT Narrow Coil Taping machine provides the end user with a simple, reliable solution. For manufacturers of wind turbine generator stator coils, the NCT will dramatically increase taping quality and reduce taping time on all narrow coil requirements.

Support

▼ If support is required, Ridgway's skilled engineers are available for fast, professional support via remote diagnostics.
