Designed for bi-directional, indexed winding of rotor pole coils

▼ The W-RHD incorporates the latest servo drive technology. A variable speed geared motor directly drives the main spindle, providing a high torque capability throughout the speed range.
▼ The spindle is fitted with a pneumatic holding brake to ensure a positive stop.
▼ The main control panel used to vary speed and direction of rotation is mounted on a free standing pedestal giving greater operator flexibility. The operator has full control of both the acceleration and deceleration through the entire speed range simply by using the remote fool pedal.
▼ A range of single and double friction braked or wear free active tensioned drum stands is available.
▼ For optimum conductor control a range of pneumatically actuated single or double capstan tension units is available.
▼ Rotor support tooling available, featuring indexing clamps, enabling easy repositioning of the rotor between winding cycles.
▼ Providing you with greater flexibility, a large faceplate is fitted as standard to enable easy direct fitting of existing tooling. Exclusive tooling/fixture design can also be incorporated offering you a complete solution.
