High Voltage Foil Winding Machines 

The FWM-HV-TIG consists of: The ground base is welded rigid construction. The winder with winding drive and tailstock is mounted on rails on ground base, so they are sideways movable for disc winding. A tailstock has own rails and is movable for varying coil lengths. A laser line pointer shows the left-side reference edge for an easy alignment of the conductor foil by the operator. A cleaning unit cleans dust from the foil. Clamping units for foil and two insulations keep end of foil and insulations after cutting close to winding area. The side of the machine is covered by a laser scanner, which will sound a warning signal and then it will cause an emergency stop if anybody enters into dangerous area.

The FWM HV is equipped with one conductor foil decoiler and with two insulation decoilers. Each decoiler has a pneumatic expandable mandrel and it can be easily loaded and unloaded from the side. The diameter measuring device on each decoiler continuously monitors the outer diameter of the supply coil and a dancer system ensures that tension of foil and each insulation stays constant. An edge-alignment system ensures a repeatable, accurate position of the conductor foil and insulation on the coil even if they are misaligned on the supply rolls. An additional pressing arm on conductor foil decoiler prevents the conductor foil from slipping. The conductor foil decoiler can also be optionally equipped with an edge deburring unit.

TIG welding can be used to weld copper or aluminum. Both the conductor foil and the lead bar must be made of the same material. The lead bar will be actively cooled by water cooling system during welding process. The welding area is protected by a shielding gas. The torch is directly connected to the welding current generator which is located near the front side of the machine. The speed of the torch can be adjusted step-less. The conductor foil and the lead-outs are fixed by pneumatic clamps.
