The humble coil-winding machine has undergone a remarkable transformation in the rapidly advancing world of electrical engineering and automation. Once relegated to simple mechanical tasks, these ...

But if you’ve ever built one, you know how tedious winding the secondary coil is. So [Krux] decided to build a machine to do it ... using 22AWG magnet wire, meaning that’s a lot of turns!

This includes the guitar pickups, so he built himself a pickup winder that has measures RPM ... each string wrapped in thousands of turns of wire about as thin as a human hair.

The advanced automated winding machine can produce at a higher rate, reduce lead times, and increase output. It consistently produces high-quality coils with uniform wire tension, pitch ...
