S-50 Winding Controller

Standardized precision control for automated wire guide systems.

The standard control package on all Broomfield coil winding machines with automatic wire guide systems is the Broomfield S-50.

This device provides for "at the machine" programming of wire guide pitch, automatic spindle slowing/stopping and layering style (parallel or spiral). The winding area is defined by operator positioned manual end stops.

---

• Supports pitch values from 0.0000" to 3.0000" (0.00 mm to 76.20 mm).
• Offers both parallel and spiral winding modes.
• Handles turn counts from 0.00 to 99,999.99, including negative values.
• Allows up to 50 programmable slow and stop points per program.
• Operator can specify the turn count for a slow and for a stop.
• Stores up to 7 coil winding programs in memory.
• Uses left and right end stops to define the winding area and trigger traverse reversal.
• Traverse Home Left and Home Right buttons send the wire guide arm to the corresponding end stop.
• Traverse Jog Left and Jog Right buttons allow for incremental wire guide traverse motion, but also include progressive acceleration for quicker setup of a wide travers.
• Traverse Jog may be used during winding to make minor wire guide traverse position changes.
• Features a display with two 40-character lines and a numeric keypad.
• The Broomfield S-50 can continue running from the same place following a shut down or power loss and recovers automatically to the previous coil position after power loss.
