Anyone know of an automated winder that can:
Wind coils on rectangular bobbins (good magnetic tension assembly)
Wind orthocyclic coil layouts using offset layers
I need to wind small coils with 28ga wire, 18 layers deep, on a bobbin 9mm wide, with a 11.6x27.5mm base. Winding orthocyclic coils with rather small wire (for my eyes) with a high number of layers is... very difficult by hand if you want to keep it nice and neat. First I looked at the ukcnc mk6 mini winder, which is pretty much close to what I need with small bobbins. I wrote them and they said they could modify the code for orthocycle, but they said it probably wouldn't work with that "large" of a wire gauge (pickups apparently use REALLY fine wire). I then found eguitarplans.com pickup coil winder. I actually like this physical design better with the magnetic tensioner, but I would rather use a servo motor for the rotation, and direct programming control vs the gcode method he chose. So, very much a DIY project as there really doesn't seem to be much out there for less than large industrial use. But if someone has their own design that would fit, I'm open to it.
