Default Re: Coil Winder Any Info Would Help (See Pic)

Hello,
The picture is not too clear but presumably the coil has to fit onto the end of the shaft with the handwheel on it and it is not quite clear how you do this.
Presumably the aluminium? disc, on the handwheel drive axle, that drives the rubber tyred wheel at right angles, is a variable speed drive (moving the rubber driven wheel further from the drive axle will speed up the drive. The Rubber driven wheel appears as if it might work some mechanism that traverses the wire backwards and forwards across the coil.
The picture is not clear enough to see what this mechanism is but unless it includes some reduction gearing it would appear that it could move the wire backwards and forwards from about once a turn to several times a turn. If so, it would suggest it could be a wave winder.
Yours, Richard
