COIL WINDING SCRATCHED WIRE DETECTOR

The problem with existing methods of testing electrical motors in production is that they can only be tested after they are wound with wire.  Most wire damage is caused either before the wire is un-spooled or during the actual winding operation.  During the winding, wire travels over and through several metallic parts that can scrape the insulation off the wire.

We have worked with a leading electric motor manufacturer to design what we call the “Scratched Wire Detector”.  This device monitors the wire as it is being wound into a coil.  Should any part of the wire become bare due to faulty tooling, then it will immediately be reported.  A fix can be performed to the faulty tooling and another coil wound to assure a good coil.

This project required special electronics circuits to be developed and a complete understanding of motor faults.

Benefits of this device include:  assurance in quality of coils, reduced inspection load (test is automatic during winding) less rework, higher profits due to increased production.
