• A pair of tensioning head assemblies, one for each wire entering the winding head.
• Mounting brackets to mount on the MDF winder.
• Model of tensioning heads determined by the size of wire (see attached chart).
• Wire tension is defined in the MDF part parameter winder software included in the winding machine.
• Wire tension for the winding of a coil is typically established for each step in the winding process:
1. Initial index
2. Hooking
3. Accelerating
4. Winding
5. Decelerating
6. First index to wind
7. And beyond is optional
• Wire tension steps can be established and repeated for each individual coil of the armature. In other words, a tension profile can be completed for each coil making up the completed armature.
• Mechanical dancer arms with spring tensioners are used to “take-up” loose wire during the winding process.
