Automatic Winder Takes the Drudgery Out of Tesla Coil Builds

What is it about coil winding automation projects that’s just so attractive? Maybe it’s knowing what a labour saver they can be once you’ve got a couple of manually wound coils below your belt. Or maybe it’s just the typically satisfying nature of any machine which does an exacting task easily and exactly. Whatever it is, this automatic Tesla coil winder has it in abundance.

As stated by [aa-epilectrik]’therefore accounts, the back part of this construct is that while musical Tesla coils are a large part of the operation of musical group ArcAttack, they’re also cool enough in their own right to provide DIY kits for sale. This rig takes in the task of creating the coils, which at least takes some of the drudgery from the construct. There’so no build log, however you will find enough details about reddit and Instagram to solve the basics. The main spindle is powered by means of a gearmotor while the winding carriage contrasts along a terminal slide because of some stepper-driven guide thread. The bolt holding the fine magnet wire should hold proper tension to reduce tangling; this is accomplished through by employing some torque to the spool with a small DC motor.

There are a few great design components in this one, not being the way tension is controlled by measuring the movement of an idler pulley using a linear color. At high speed, the machine looks like it finish a coil in just approximately three seconds, which seems pretty reasonable with these neat results. Another intriguing point: ArcAttack amounts [Anouk Wipprecht], whom people ’ve included a few times on these pages, among its collaborators. Small world.
