Hi everyone this is my first time posting here. I am noticing an issue with the start of the second pass of a helical wind. On the second pass it tends to space out a good distance from the first pass going from right to left. On the return from left to right everything starts falling into place from there on.
Is there a reason why it does this and is there a way to fix it? I’ll get a picture tomorrow when I make a tube.
Your help is most appreciated.
I am having some trouble correctly setting my Y-Axis offset on my 4-axis X-Winder. I am told to measure from the centerline of the mandrel to the delivery head. I am told that the default is 4.625 inch. What I am not sure of is, where on the delivery head do I measure to? I have tried measuring just to the face of the steel roller, to the centerline of the roller and to the point on the roller fartheest from the mandrel centerline and, when I run my code, the roller on the delivery head…
I will start using the X-winder with my students. I wish to make very simple parts , with is the esiest tow size to use, I saw some 3 to 6 avalaible, other size are more difficult to have.
I am using my X-Winder to make test panels. The mandrel is square peice of aluminium flat stock. as a cosequence the torque value changes as the mandrel spins. I need to increase the size of the motor to get more torque, Going from the original Nema 23 stepper 57HSG76-3004JA what motor could I get that would increase my torque but still mate with the original gear box?
Hello, is there a better explanation of how to wire the winder up? I'm just not understanding how there are 4 identical axis controllers and dont see how they are labled or defined in the assembly pdf online, my winders didnt come with a user manual. any pictures or extra advice would be appreciated.
Read more…We recently upgraded the PC our X-Winder was connected to, and we're running into an issue. Whenever we try to run Executor, it throws an error stating some control boards aren't attached. We have a 2 axis setup. As far as I know, everything is setup the exact same as on the old PC. It was previously on Windows 7, now on Windows 10. We also noticed the power supply was weak, and thought upgrading it would help, but no luck. The mandrel and carriage axes are connected, and we didn't need…
Read more…I've set up and have been getting familiar with the setup (we have a 4X-34 setup). Everything seems to running smooth, except the carriage directionality seems to be off. When I press the 'right' option the carriage goes away from the end with the carriage motor and and positon shown goes negative (in other words pressing right makes it go what shows as left on the setup picture). I can manually bring it back to the limit switch and it will rezero when it hits it. However, when I go to…
Read more…Right now I have problem with this winding machine. During winding process, the filaments always slip off the delivery head, when the DH travels until the end of mandrel and changes its angle for traveling back. The problem happens for both 3x and 4x winding, anyone has an idea of how to fix this?
