I am new to the x winder. After a few hickups, I completed some good 2 axis winds in 3 axis mode. My question is on the subject of winding torque... How do i know if i need more torque or less torque on a particular motor? Do i increase torque for la

Based on my understanding of the software, the winding path should be from 3.75 inches from the inside of the post to 15 inches. Instead the winder is moving from approximately 10 inches to 21 inche
We recently bought the 4X-23 model and now have the problem that the 2 NEMA23 for carriage and mandrel cannot be controlled. DH works perfectly fine. All axis controllers have been tested for all motors but problem remained. Hence, X-Winder setup is

I wanted to show you how we did dry runs for a project at university:
This was useful to verify the winding angle, and hopefully it will help you to save fiber for simple checks.
Cheers!

Got 2axis and 4 axis windr. 2axis one is running on of th first software version and in it's directory there is config file i can manualy edit (basicy making changes does not need to use Wizard).

Hello All,
I have recently set up my X-Winder but I am running into some issues with the software. Does anyone understand how to implement linear and angular acceleration for the carriage and delivery head? I attempted to use acceleration within the G

I have a custom machine, 105 IN carriage.
Mandrel is 6:1
Carriage uses T2,5 mm teeth 1º pulley 20 to 2º pulley 60 teeth.
My problem is that 4.2 seems not posible to configure carriage out of standard gearing motor.
The questions, muy anyone hel

Read more…I can't get the mandrel to rotate anti-clockwise. Have tried M3 and M5 and also a S-70, none seem to work. M3 still did clockwise, M4 does clockwise, M5 stops the wind, M2 isn't recognised.
Any help please, have changed my head setup and would prefer
