What's New on the IWM Website

Head stock style machine -in action!

We don't often get to show you machines in action due to customer confidentiality, but this customer was so pleased with the tailored solution we designed and constructed for him, we managed to get some pictures. With a massive 15,000 Nm of torque the main winding spindle has plenty of power for the most demanding of winding applications.

New generation compact Foil winding machine.
A Powerful but compact 500mm wide foil winding machine, .3 independent traverse system with edge detectors & closed loop feedback provide perfect foil and paper alignment.

Servo driven payoff and systems work in conjunction with the main winding head to give very precise programmable controlled torque / tension in the foil / paper, Ideal transformer applications, providing industry leading coil quality and transformer characteristics.

Range Heavy duty spool tensioners -using start of the art Servo driven technology in "Torque following" mode.

Allows for digital program setting of tension for large profile wires- wind forward and backwards!

Options for carriage way to follow winding machine guider -reduces factory floor space & keep tension constant.

New generation Strip Foil winding machine.
A Powerful but compact 180mm wide foil winding machine, .3 independent traverse system with edge detectors & closed loop feedback provide perfect foil and paper alignment.

Servo driven payoff and systems work in conjunction with the main winding head to give very precise programmable controlled torque / tension in the foil / paper, several "pancake style" coils can be wound side by side, ideal for cast resin transformer applications, also know and dry type transformers, providing industry leading coil quality and transformer characteristics.

Wire barrel feeder - Responding to customer demands IWM recently added a new product to our range, a wire barrel feeder fitting most standard wire supplier de-coiler drums @ 100mm diameter opening.

CWIEME show report - IWM recently attended the CWIEME exhibition in Berlin for the 18th successive year

A New model to the winding machine series.
IWM are pleased to annoyance the result of a 6 month research, development and design project for flat wire edge wound coils.

After extensive trials and research, we have developed a machine from the ground up, specifically designed for winding flat wire on it's thin edge.

This machine pushed the boundaries of what is achievable in relation to the aspect ratio of wire height Vs wire width & wire height Vs coil ID, whilst reducing the trapezoidal effect to a minimum !

The new generation of automatic cover taping machine, now provides incredible cycle times performance
We've made a short video demonstrating 1,2,3 & 4 turns of tape.

New range of Small, compact and low cost digital display tension meters.
can be mounted inline with almost any machine to provide the operator with a readout of real time tension

New model to the Foil winding machine series.
A Powerful but compact 300mm wide foil winding machine, .3 independent traverse system with edge detectors & closed loop feedback provide perfect foil and paper alignment.

Servo driven payoff and systems work in conjunction with the main winding head to give very precise programmable controlled torque / tension in the foil / paper, leading to industry leading coil quality and transformer characteristics.

New partner in Belgium and Luxemburg

After many years working together, we've made it official!

New Range Electronic Wire tensioner up to 3.0mm -TH3

Allows for digital program setting of tension for large round wires - can work as standalone or even mounted on to machine traverse.

New Range Heavy duty spool tensioners -using start of the art Servo driven technology in "Torque following" mode.

Allows for digital program setting of tension for large profile wires- wind forward and backwards!

Options for carriage way to follow winding machine guider -reduces factory floor space & keep tension constant.

Drawings, technical documents and specifications often describe the winding speed, but not the actual wire speed, optimising the wire speed can often bring you outside the specification of regulated tension and upgrading the tensioner to one that works is necessary to run at these high speeds.

Our fast and convenient calculator will make the conversion for you.

Dual Servo driven wire tensioners A REVOLUTION in wire tension technology!

High precision mechanical tensioner, for copper winding wires in the range from 0.04mm to 0.7mm, ideally suited to winding at high wire speeds up to 25 M/sec.

Types available: CWF, CWFL, CWFH

Custom designed:

The Erasan range of expanding mandrels.
Customers often need to wind the foil or wire onto a mandrel which can be expanded during the winding process and then collapsed to allow the finished coil to removed. Iron cores or laminations can be inserted later in the process.
