Heavy Duty Insertion Winding Machines

The ZET and SCW winding machines are high-speed stator coil winders for two-pole and four-pole induction motor winding. These coil insertion winding machines are capable of automatically winding multiple wires in hand with special features for wire grippers and dereeler depending on wire size. Combining winding and coil/wedge insertion is an option in many machine configurations. Coil insertion and winding is driven by an AC servo motor and ball screws for a smooth and precise winding operation.

  • Reliable Construction
  • Efficient & Precise
  • Superior After-Sales Service

Why Choose Insertion Winding

Insertion winding combines precise coil winding with automated insertion of wound coils into stator slots, creating a highly efficient and repeatable process for manufacturing stators. 

Insertion winding is ideal for your applications that require:

  • High-speed, integrated winding and insertion
    Machines drive both the winding and insertion operations in a single cycle, reducing handling steps and improving throughput in volume production.
  • Precise coil placement in stator slots
    Automated insertion mechanisms ensure coils are positioned consistently and accurately, improving electrical performance and reducing rework.
  • Adaptability to varying stator sizes and wire counts
    Configurable grippers and dereelers support multiple wires in hand and handle a range of stator diameters and lead lengths.
  • Repeatable quality in automated production environments
    Servo-driven axes and programmed motion control deliver consistent results across high-volume manufacturing runs.

Typical Ranges

Stator ID: 110 – 150mm
Stator OD: 175 – 230mm
Wire In Hands: 10 – 20, (depending on # of layers on winding former, # of turns, and wire diameter)
Lead Length 300 – 600mm
Main Axis Number of Rotation Stock Winding – 400 rpm Winding – 300 – 600 rpm
Wire Dia 0.5 – 1.2mm

These are typical product sizes. The capability of the machines to manufacture each stator depends on a number of factors including end turn dimensions, winding pattern, bus bar design, etc. Please contact an Odawara sales representative with your unique requirements.
