E W Barton Company Miniature Film Foil Capacitor Winding Machine Bochure Shown Circa 1986 - Archives.
If you have one of these E W Barton foil winding machines we do retrofit these, contact us and we can work out the details of getting a far more superb Foil Winding Machine.
This E W Barton Company Capacitor Winder almost looks modern, and by judging what's actually out there in the field, is mechanically amongst foil winders.
You can look into other online international sites, and judging only by looks alone you think that this foil winding machine looks very dated compared to the new stuff! But if someone sent this foil winder to me today, I could retrofit this very same foil winder to the most modern standards available. Why? All the basic mechanics are very high quality. Everything is square and perpendicular mechanically so the edge alignment of foil capacitor is nearly perfect. Looks are not everything, and even if retrofitted it's for function, not modern art.
We get rid of all the ancient electronics. We check alignments. All mechanical components that are worn are replaced along with bearings, etc. Electromechanical devices are changed to be compatible with modern controls. These are the basics which must be completed to have a mechanically sound platform for a capacitor winding machine. We actually don't have room here to list all checks made. For a more complete list of what we do electronically and mechanically, go to the Controls or the Mechanical links.
Then your choices come into play, how fast do you want your foil winder to be? What kind of bells & whistles do you want? We retrofit the foil winding machine your way, not how the original designer intended. What this boils down to is the capacitor winding machine can make a foil capacitor to your specifications with very few limitations, with a computer running the machine you will find this to be true!
