Four-Station Armature Winding Machine

Model BKD-WD-04

Four indexing stations overlap loading, winding and unloading, so one operator holds a 9-second takt on high-volume armature families.

Cycle time: 9.0 s
Stations: 4
Wire diameter: 0.20–0.80 mm

Applicable armatures

Motor types: Brushed DC and universal motor armatures
Armature OD: 20–60 mm
Shaft diameter: 3–12 mm
Slot count: 8–24

How it works

1The operator loads a prepared armature at the load station.
2The turret indexes it to the winding station.
3Flyers wind each coil and hook the wire onto the commutator tangs.
4The finished armature indexes to unload while the next one is wound.

Standard configuration

Servo drive package and safety guarding with interlocked doors
PLC with touch-screen HMI, recipe storage per armature model
One set of tooling for the armature model agreed at order
Operation and maintenance manual, recommended spare parts list

Options

Additional tooling sets for further armature models
Data logging with CSV export or MES interface
Automatic loading and unloading, conveyor for line integration
Spare parts package for 12 or 24 months of production
