INTRODUCTION


  • The Gorman Star Winding Machine is our latest and most versatile Bobbin Winder from Gorman Machine Corp. It is built on the chassis of the proven Bobbineer Winder. All the internal workings are changed along with the Electronic CNC Controller which stores the programs entered for up to 1000 different levels and can be called up separately or in groups at any time.

  • The machine is driven by a powerful 3/4 HP DC Motor through four different speed torque ranges

  • Electronic controlled traverse with a stepping motor drive for precision winding.

  • We at Gorman Machine know you will appreciate the durability, construction and profitability of this fine machine at an affordable price.

FEATURES


The Star Bobbin Winder uses the Taily Controller labeled WINDING MACHINE CONTROLLER on the front panel. This controller has 999 different levels or steps for entering the winding directions.

A simple coil winding program can be wound using just one level consisting of Shift to Start position in millimeters from Home position; width of winding; spindle turning direction; number of turns; Slow down speed before Finish and return to Start position for another Bobbin. If a second winding were to be put on top of the first, you would go to level 2 with the same Bobbin with a different Pitch or wire diameter in millimeters and different turns count and return to level 1 for the next Bobbin.

For a more complex coil, which would start on level 3, use as many levels as required to the Finished level of the program.

To recall a program at a later date, just call up the Start level and then the Finish level and all the information you have put in for this program will be recalled from Start to Finish level. If the program only uses one level, the Start and Finish level would be the same level number. As few levels are required for most Bobbin coil programs, you would have room for hundreds of coil programs using the 999 levels in the Taily Controller.

As there is plenty of room for all the programs you would need to store, it would be a good idea to skip one or two level numbers between programs to leave space to make a later correction to a program.

A log book would be needed for the different programs giving Start and Finish levels, customer name, date and important Bobbin information including wire size, drive belt torque range and other vital information which cannot be programmed into the controller.

All programs stored in one controller can be transferred to a new controller with a few simple commands.

Programs can be deleted and the space left is available for new programs.

The Taily Controller uses a FLASH ROM MEMORY system which gives the program storage an infinite life.

A FRESH LOOK AT THE RELATIVE LOW COST OF ACQUIRING PRODUCTION MACHINERY

When looking at the cost of better production equipment, the hourly cost of such equipment is about one tenth the cost of the operator on an hourly basis.

Take a machine in the price range of $10,000.00, for a round figure that is easy to divide, and purchased as a business equipment loan for five years at about eight percent.

There are 2,000 working hours in a year at 40 hours per week. The cost of the loan would be $14,000.00, over a period of five years, divided by 10,000 hours in five years, or about $1.40 per machine working hour.

Each machine working hour is less than one tenth the operator cost at $20.00 per hour.

Your production could possibly be increased fifty percent over what it was.

Improvement can only be achieved with better equipment and techniques.
