WS7AT Heavy Duty Coil Winding Machines
The WS7 series (a/b/c/dd) has been developed for winding distribution transformers up to 12 MVA or medium-sized body scanner coils. Each model is built to order, with flexibility to include customer-specific features at the design stage.
WS7a – Free-standing pedestal winding machine. With custom faceplates or chucks, it is ideal for winding complex coils where maximum operator access to the inner former is required.
WS7b – As above, but with floor-mounted bedway, runners, and sliding tailstock. Tailstock options include powered opening/closing or a powered spindle for distortion-free double-end drive winding.
WS7c – As specified above, with an integrated or remotely mounted traverse unit. This unit is adaptable to run with WS ET mark 5 tensioner for superconductive winding (as shown in picture)
WS7dd – As specified above, but with a double headstock and synchronised drive.
Construction & Features
Powered by inverter-driven motors and gearbox combinations, tailored to application.
Fail-safe disc braking available across all models.
Winding spindle diameters available from 75 mm to 150 mm.
Control Systems
All models include fail-safe devices as standard.
Traverses can be either remotely powered or integrated with the winding spindle.
The WS7b model remains one of our most popular machines, thanks to the high level of custom specification that can be incorporated at the design stage.
Specifications:
Heavy duty triangulated steel construction
Maximum coil weight 30 tonnes
Maximum between centers 3.7m
Machines built in modular construction for ease of handling
Maximum coil diameter 3.5m
Motor gear unit size 75kw
WS12/30 HAT Body Scanner Winding Systems
The WS12/30 HAT series was developed to build some of the world’s most powerful experimental body and scientific scanners. Designed for extreme performance, these machines handle individual coil weights exceeding 30 tonnes and operate at winding speeds up to 27 rpm — making this the largest series we have produced to date.
Construction & Features
Fully integrated, electronically controlled tensioning system.
Safely tensions single conductors up to 27 kg, with wire drum capacities up to 575 kg.
Adjustable operator platform, moveable to accommodate coils up to 3.5 m diameter.
Sliding control box for convenient access as the coil progresses.
Electronic tensioners allow coils to be unwound at the same speed they were wound, with wire layer-wound back onto the spool via the onboard traverse system.
Safety & Control Systems
Equipped with three independent fail-safe braking systems, capable of bringing the machine to rest in under 2 seconds, typically with no ill effect on the conductor.
Full touch screen CNC control available
Machine can be operated from either the platform or the tensioner controls.
Tailstock supplied with manual or powered opening/closing mechanism.
