Filament Wind & Tension Machine

This compact benchtop machine is designed for winding sample lengths of filament from larger spools to smaller sample spools.

The winding speed, winding length, and filament tension can all be controlled and adjusted on the fly for different applications.

Dual servo motors are used to accurately control tension in the filament, and a tension transducer load cell provides real-time tension measurements.

A traverse idler pulley unit is positioned before the sample spool to provide a neat and even winding. The sample spool also has a static eliminator directly above it to eliminate any buildup of static electricity.
