Layer and field winding coil operations are known to be time consuming! Well, you can now upgrade the process and reduce the winding time with the ACE Model 4822. A pneumatic tension device, this model is provided with manual traversing and indexing capabilities. The primary objective of this device is to reduce the time required for wire insertion and layer winding. This versatile tension and wire guiding system assists the operator in producing AC and DC quality layer wound and field coils under tension at high speeds.

The device comprises the following components:
The pressure plates are placed in the heavy duty housing. When a wire passes through the pressure plates, a certain amount of controlled pressure is applied to it through pneumatics. As the pressure is controlled, the plates do not damage the wire’s insulation. The wire also passes through the high density plastic plates, which are installed between the steel plates. These plates are designed to minimize damage to enamel, paper insulation, glass wrap, etc.
The device is capable of performing two types of winding processes:
Depending on the client’s requirement and application, ACE also provides ancillary equipment to enhance process efficiency, and ensure effective coil winding.
The wire guide rollers are fastened to the front and back of the tension housing. These are used to guide the wire through the device. The tension housing comprises the tension plates, as well as other mechanical components. During the winding process, the pneumatic actuator helps apply downward pressure on the tension plates. The tension sensor utilizes a load cell to convert wire tension into an electrical signal. This allows precise measurement of the wire tensioning process.
