Large Automatic Metallized Core E W Barton Capacitor Winder Shown Circa 1986 for winding metallized capacitors on a plastic core (hex driven) - Archives.
If you have one of these Large Metallized Core Barton Winders we might consider retrofitting these.
If not sold, I know where one is for sale. This requires a considerable investment to get it up to modern standards!
Core Capacitor Winders are far more complex than meets the eye, way beyond just because it looks complicated. Can we get our controls to work on it? Yes with quite a bit more inputs and outputs. Can we change the electronic tension controls to more modern standards? Well that is where a considerable investment comes in. I used to make electronic tension controls, from the ground up. There's a considerable amount of work involved to make it stable for any given situation. And I might add there is no such thing as a universal tension control.
The tension controls are tuned to the expected materials. Better said, the materials define the tension control. But the answer remains the same. We can get it to work if paid.
A lot of individuals see this winding machine online. So I will answer some questions before they get asked again.
No we cannot add additional material spindles. It will not have a production rate of 3000 pcs. per hour. Since we cannot add material spindles it cannot be made into a foil/film machine. It cannot be adapted to any size core under the sun.
If you are happy with 2 metalllized materials with high tension core winding, we may be able to talk.
