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

I'm new to the X winder work and I was just wondering how fine the motion of the carriage can be? I'm trying to move in very small increments to the righ, but I'm stuck at intervals of 0.010 (in the z axis). Has anyone run into this pro

XWinder doesnt' support conical mandrel yet. But in case I am willing to modify the gcode where do I start. Or should I be asking that is it possible at all to do this with XWinder?

I am trying to create a 45-degree 2-axis layup in 3-axis mode. The 4-axis winder that I am working with has been having an issue where the dwell times are different on each end

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

Has anyone else encountered an error with the delivery head were at a random point in a wind sequence it will just ram the payout eye into the mandrel and drag it along to the end of carriage axis? I have checked the g-code and cant find any error

I also made this roller with teflon stock. It's kept in place with two aluminum angles with pins as axle so it rolls better.

Read more…Hi there
I was wondering if it is possible to adjust the transition speed at the ends of the winding. As the ends tend to slip I am thinking a slower Transition from 45 to 90 degrees at the ends may improve this problem.
Any thoughts on that?
