If your hobby is amateur radio or electronics you will often need coils in a variety of size, type, specification, etc.. Coils are no longer as easy to find as they were 20 years ago so you will have to wind your own. With the help of this simple yet detailed manual you’ll quickly build a machine that can wind universal and honey comb coils, single layer and multi layer solenoids, close wound and space-wound coils, and pi-spaced coils such as those used for r-f chokes and transformers. And the mechanical counter gives you total control of accuracy.

A coil winding machine is a machine for winding coil onto a spool, bobbin and many more. This coil winding machine is one of types of winding machine that available in industries today. From multi speeded machines to medium, large and extra-large machines, these machines come in various types and categories, performing a range function. The common applications for a coil winding machine are to wind coils for transformer, inductors, motor and chokes. To complete a coil using manual coil winding machine will be inconvenience and waste of time. Therefore, fabrication of coil winding machine will be done in this project which is controlled by two stepper motor using Arduino program. This machine is inexpensive, easy to operate and build in a small-scale size. This project also can be used for training students in winding of small transformers & relay coils.

This book presents the current coil winding methods, their associated technologies and the associated automation techniques. From the introduction as a forming joining process, over the physical properties of coils, the semifinished products (wire, coil body, insulation) are introduced. In the process chain, different winding methods are used for magnet wire winding. Finally, the automation of these processes is described.
