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 functi
hey! i am an undergraduate student currently working on x-winder software and i have no idea how should start using or from where should i learn it, if there is anyone who could guide me. please!
Read more…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

I have trouble setting up the correct mandrel drive in the executor. My setup is a left-hand drive, but for some reason I can't switch it in the settings. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks fo

I am almost finished assembling my 2 Axis machine and am having issues with the powered USB hub being recognized by my laptop. I am running Windows 10 Home on a HP Stream laptop.
When I run the Executor I get a popup saying the USB hub is not recog

after many trials, we still have problems with fibre slippage on left end but right end works perfectly.
For various winds the fibre aligns excentrical on the DH roller during the linear pass to left end. An additional tool before the roller

We have start working recently with our new X-Winder 4-Axis Model 4X-23. We are trying to manufacture next configurartion:
The machine looks run OK during "Home", "Manual" and "Trace" functions.
But, when we run "Build" function process stops at

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!

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
