Hello,I'm doing a single layer wind and I've noticed that the Executor gets stuck at the first G2 CW ellipse at left end. Only the mandrel keeps rotating but all other movements stop. The last total mandrel rotation is 366 degrees but it far…
"I was going to basically just copy and paste the g-code CADWIND exports and paste it into the X-winder however I tried that and it still gave the same result. I'll just go ahead and use the Designer software, thank you!
"
"
"Right, but is there a tutorial on how to actually wrap the fiber around the rollers/posts for tensioning? Thanks."
"I'm not sure what you mean Ken, but X-Winder only understands X-Winder G-Code or modifications thereto."
"Thanks for letting me know. So then if I wanted to run the g-code CADWIND exports, I'd essentially have to rewrite it in the Xwinder Designer software?
"

"There is a "tailoring" process that is described in that video to optimize the DH movement so that does not happen. "
"CADWIND will not work with X-Winder. X-Winder uses its own software that is sold with the X-Winder filament winder. Likewise, Other winders will not work with the X-Winder software. If you are trying to create special capabilities with the X-Winder,…"
Hi all,Has anyone interfaced the winding software CADWIND successfully to the Xwinder? I'm having issues where the g-code that CADWIND exports causes very staggered machine movements and often times is very short. Any help would be…
"Thanks for the reference, I'll go watch this. Is there a section on how to mount the fibers on the winder? I'm trying to go based off of intuition but my fibers keep slipping off/untensioning when the winds start."
"have you seen the x-winder YouTube Channel, lots of stuff there:

Hi all,I hope this is the right place to ask but I'm new to filament winding and recently set up a 4X-23 unit. I wanted to know if there's a guide on how to set up the winder, going from calibration, fiber loading, to g-code execution and how the…
"Nicholas D. Crowder Turner Hunt Adding onto this thread after a while, any resolves? I encountered the same issue. Thanks."
