How can an automatic stator winding machine ensure no wire breakage? What are the requirements for materials and accessories?

Automatic stator winding machines achieve stable production with a breakage rate of ≤0.02% through accurate tension control, optimized winding parameters, high-precision molds and accessories, and strict environmental management. Material selection must consider wire diameter, temperature resistance, and mechanical strength requirements; accessory configuration must match winding speed and precision needs; and regular maintenance and intelligent monitoring are key to ensuring long-term stable operation. So how do automatic stator winding machines ensure no breakage? What are the requirements for materials and accessories? Below, Vacuz will give you a brief introduction!

I. Core Measures to Ensure No Breakage

1. Accurate Control of Winding Tension

Closed-loop tension control system: Employs a magnetic powder tensioner or servo tensioner to monitor and compensate for tension fluctuations in real time, ensuring tension stability error ≤±5%.

Wire diameter-appropriate tension range: Adjust tensioner parameters according to wire diameter; use low tension for thin wires and high tension for thick wires to avoid breakage or loosening.

Dynamic tension adjustment: Dynamically adjust tension output through a PLC or motion controller during acceleration and deceleration to prevent breakage due to inertial impact.

2. Optimized Winding Speed ​​and Path

Graded Acceleration Start: Initial speed ≤200 rpm, gradually increasing to the target speed to avoid wire breakage due to rapid acceleration.

Path Algorithm Optimization: Dedicated winding paths are designed for different slot shapes to reduce friction between the wire and the slot edge, lowering the risk of wire breakage.

3. Mold and Fixture Design

High-Precision Molds: CNC-machined molds with a surface roughness ≤Ra0.8μm eliminate burrs and sharp edges, preventing scratches on the wire.

Quick Fixture Changeover: A modular fixture system is designed, supporting changeovers within 15 minutes, reducing downtime and ensuring positioning accuracy ±0.02mm.

4. Environmental and Equipment Maintenance

Temperature and Humidity Control: The workshop temperature is maintained at 20-25℃, and the relative humidity ≤60% to prevent the wire from getting damp or experiencing electrostatic discharge.

Regular Maintenance: Clean the wire nozzle and guide rails every 8 hours, change the lubricating oil every 500 hours, and calibrate the tensioner accuracy every 2000 hours.

II. Material and Accessory Requirements

1. Wire Selection

Copper Enameled Wire: The mainstream choice, conductivity ≥97% IACS, temperature resistance ≥155℃, suitable for high-power motors.

Aluminum/Iron Wire: Aluminum wire is lightweight, suitable for aerospace motors; iron wire has high hardness, suitable for power tools.

Special Coated Wires: PTFE coated wire has excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for chemical environments; ceramic coated wire has 30% improved wear resistance, suitable for high-speed winding.

2. Tip Material and Size

Carbide Tip: Hardness ≥HRC90, lifespan 5 times longer than stainless steel tips, suitable for thick wires or high-speed winding.

Ceramic Coated Tip: Surface roughness ≤Ra0.2μm, friction coefficient reduced by 40%, reducing the risk of thin wire breakage.

Inner Diameter Matching: Tip inner diameter = wire diameter × 1.1-1.3.

3. Tensioner Configuration

Servo Tensioner: Control accuracy ±0.1%, response time ≤10ms, supports tension range of 0.1-10N, suitable for high-precision winding.

Magnetic Powder Tensioner: Torque stability ±1%, lifespan ≥5000 hours, suitable for continuous production scenarios (such as household appliance motors).

4. Drive System Requirements

Servo Motor Drive: Speed ​​fluctuation ≤±0.1%, torque control accuracy ±1%, ensuring synchronous adjustment of winding speed and tension.

Multi-station Design: Four-station equipment improves efficiency by 300%, supports multi-wire parallel winding (e.g., 30 strands of 0.2mm wire wound together), requires an independent tension control system.
