1250 Series Automatic Winder
Programmable Automatic Coil Winding System
The 1250 Series combines our proven 1201 bobbin winder with a precision automatic traverse to eliminate hand-guided wire layering. Set your pitch, set your length, and let the machine do the work—it is that simple.
Choose your traverse length: the 1250S offers 7" of travel for standard bobbins, while the 1250L provides 14" of travel for longer workpieces.
The traverse uses a high-precision stepper motor with microprocessor control to automatically lay wire onto your workpiece. A photoelectric pickup senses spindle rotation and direction, moving the carriage the exact distance specified by your pitch setting. When the carriage reaches your programmed length, it reverses automatically and continues until your turn count is reached.
Fine pitch mode (.00001 to .00999 in/rev) handles the most delicate wire, while regular pitch mode (.0001 to .0999 in/rev) covers standard applications. Built-in programs support layer winding, multi-home positioning, variable pitch, variable layering, and universal winding patterns. Store up to 32 traverse sequences and 99 winder presets.
