EBD Coil winding technology is developed specifically to wind micro coils for minimally invasive medical devices. Our coil winders can wind coils down to .001″ diameter wire on a .010″ mandrel using our innovative closed-loop filar tension control system. The machine flexibility enables the filar tension to be recipe controlled from 5 grams to 600 grams during the entire wind.
The picture above reflects this technology from our modular multi-filar systems. Each multi-filar platform can produce catheter coils using one, all, or somewhere in between the filar heads, you define for your machine.
The above picture shows a coil on the tip of Lincoln’s nose, on a penny, alongside a human hair at the right. Coils length and filar count are only limited by your facility floor space.
- Winds stacked (tight pitch) or loose (variable or fixed pitch) coils on a spinning mandrel.
- Right chuck position can be adjusted to get variable mandrel lengths.
- Mandrel length is part of the recipe setting and travel is limited accordingly.
- Up to 250 process recipes can be stored and shared between the two wind heads.
- Recipe edit menu allows up to 30 repeating combinations of any pitch, angle, direction, speed, tension and length.
- Recipe steps can ramp pitch between set points (plus angle ramp with vision option).
- Displays of parameter set points and actual values.
- Filament slack control that maintains tension at all wind speeds.
- Brushless servo drives on traverse and both ends of mandrel (no back shaft).
- Alphanumeric color touchscreen display for program entry and status displays.
- Acrylic enclosure panels with light curtain to isolate each winder operation.
- Ethernet communication for remote monitoring & program update capability.
- Color monitor display of B/W vision-based angle measurement (vision option only).
