Coil Winder_Stepper Traverse

[eercan63]

Hello Rohndoe, a really nice projects, congratulations.

Do you have any schematics about the used electronics? I mean StepGenie modul is clear, I already know this modul. I mean the pulse generator module with NE555 and IC4047. I think you used micro switches to reverse the stepper direction, right? If you don't have have the scematics anymore, could you please send me at least a sketch? I am not well experienced with electronics. It would be very nice of you. Many thanks in advance.

That is top notch John. Excellent work.

WOW that is an awesome rig!

[adisharr]

Nice job on that - looks like it makes a pretty decent coil too :)

Wow, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to build a project like that. I built something similar about 10 years ago using a taig lathe as a base. Turned out not to be as useful as I thought in my case, but it was still a cool little project to build.

As long as you are having fun, right

It keeps the brain active and is less expensive than golf, lol

does it remember which direction the traverse was going if power is turned off or do you have to leave the machine on ? Im building a winder and have encountered this prollem.

[rohndoe]

diymania, what you see in the vid is a latching

Hall Effect switch to provide the direction logic

And yes it has a favored start up direction. What I generally do is rapid traverse it back and forth to set the limit stops then leave it set in the direction I want to start winding.

In the middle of a wind if I take a break i have a small lose magnet that I can wave in front of the sensor to get it to change direction.

Thanks for the interest...

Very good presentation!

Thank you.

[Tarkusine]

Good Job, very cool!

[campbellhyde08]

cool project, but dosent a coil naturaly wind itself that way?

[rohndoe]

Thanks URW, two or three weeks at least...

But I have the next model in mind already, lol

Nice little unit. How long did it take you to design and build it?

[flibberto]

Very impressive... and what are you planning to do with all the coils you can now produce?

[rohndoe]

Thank you, several projects were at the "needing

coils" stage hence the winder. Ron
