Stop at Hemi Ends 4x - Win11


Dear Team / Mr. Turner,

We work from the university with the 23-4X XWinder.

In 2-axis mode everything works but as soon as we go into 4-axis mode there are problems.
The DH always stops at each end for a very long time and winds unnecessary material at the ends.
It seems as if the program gets stuck there or lags unnaturally.
In contrast to us, the winding in your videos is a nice fluid movement.
I saw in the blog that you said there are problems with Windows…

Fixing of issues with 4X winding


Hello all,
 
I am writing to you from Robert Gordon University, UK. My manager bought this X winder equipment from you few month ago and now we are facing issues when it is operated in 4X.

4axis winding stops and gets stuck at the hemi ends

Greetings,We are a group of undergraduate students who are currently working on the winding of a pressure vessel. We have successfully assembled the machine and calibrated it to account for any offsets. During our initial tests using the trace function to ensure proper alignment, everything appeared to be in order. However, we encountered difficulties when attempting to initiate the 4-axis hemi end winding process.To kickstart this process, the machine's executor homes it, aligning itself with…

Incomplete Windings after Software Finishes

We are working with a 4-axis x-winder in 2X mode. We have successfully wound a 3.5-inch mandrel many times however are now struggling to wind a ~12-inch mandrel (we have the 16" expansion kit). The software claims to be 100% done with the wind but in reality, the part is 95% done (see photos). Has anyone else had this problem when working with larger mandrels? We have done multiple winds with the same result. Thanks for any ideas!

Thank You for your response. I have defined Y and Z axis correctly.  I didn't answer right away because I'm learning how to use the device and I wanted to check if I was making any mistakes. It seems that the mentioned problem only occurs…"
