Any business that uses wire winding machine technology and wants to promote a culture of greater promotion of products needs quality. By optimizing designs and processes, more employees will feel they can advocate for their company clearly and honestly. This is why Tuboly’s systems are so in-demand among businesses that take promotion by employee advocacy seriously. How does this work? To begin with, promoting products by employees can work in any organization, not just those that use wire winding systems. Sometimes, companies will have a formal plan in place to have employees advocate for the business.
In others, there will be a much less formal arrangement where staff members are merely encouraged in this manner. It all comes down to management style at the end of the day. However, without effective equipment at their disposal, no wire winding businesses can truly hope to establish cultures of employee advocacy. In this sector, therefore, optimised systems and technology are paramount. In the end, it will come down to investing in wire winding machines that employees are proud to work with. They should be state-of-the-art and provide advantages that can be enjoyed every day. Read on to find out why Tuboly-Astronic’s wire winding systems offer so much in this regard.

Wire winding machine with strip insulation capabilities
We recommend that wires are coiled with strip insulation for the highest quality, performance and reliability. Strip insulation can be achieved efficiently on our specially developed WHC wire winding machine and WHD wire winding machine. The WHC wire winding machine is designed to produce high-voltage coils for smaller distribution transformers. As you can see, a wire winding machine with high-quality strip insulation capabilities are a cut above the norm. Businesses that want to provide top-notch products that employees can be proud of helping to deliver will want this functionality. When they have it, employees are much more likely to get behind a staff-led advocacy scheme.
How the wire winding machine works
Bear in mind that it is not just the functionality of wire winding systems that helps employee advocates. Of course, lots of features and functions help people to think they are working in a forward-thinking environment. That said, it is how such systems are set up and operated that also counts. Read on to find out why our systems are so favoured by operators working on the shop floor. After all, with such smoothly functioning systems, it makes life much easier for both operators and quality control professionals.
With a machine that provides such ease of working, the desired culture of marketing by employees can begin to spread. At Tuboly, our wire winding systems have been designed by experts with previous operational expertise. Since we know what matters to most operators in the wire winding industry, we can help many businesses. What sets our machines apart operationally, and how does this impact marketing schemes?
Preparing the wire winding machine
In preparation for the coiling process, the operator threads the conductor through the wire winding machine according to instructions. Innovative wire winding machine control system programming using the wire winding control system software, the winding of the wire can be programmed to the wire winding machine. This programming can be carried out in advance on a desktop computer using our Windows 10 compatible software.
It can also be performed at the console, which is attached to the wire winding machine. The software comes complete with guidance to simplify the process for the operator. A graphical design drawing is programmed into the software. This determines key output parameters, such as the thickness of the insulation. The wire winding control system is also programmed to pre-calculate the necessary stop points during the winding process.
Strip insulation
At the same time that the conductor is wound, the insulation strip is built up automatically according to the programming parameters. This insulation layer can be built up either conically or cylindrically. With the WHD wire winding machine, the insulation layer can be formed using one or two strips. Each insulation strip can be programmed differently so that the wire can perform to withstand high-voltage impacts during operation.
Automation
The WHC and WHD wire winding machines ensure manual operator interference is kept to a minimum. The insulation strip feeds in and fixes automatically. If required, it can be automatically separated and re-attached once the insulation layer has been built. The stop points have been pre-programmed to ensure continuous winding from the coil start to the cooling duct or lead out. This means there is no need for the operator to intervene manually. The operator is simply required to monitor the process, as a safety precaution.
Advantages of using a Tuboly-Astronic wire winding machine
Our wire winding machines take advantage of the most advanced technology to efficiently produce superior quality insulated wires for high-voltage transformers. This makes them perfect for any company that wants to promote products by staff members among them. What are the features that will make so many employees of wire winding business proud of where they work? Strip insulation technology with patented cutting and reattachment
The strip insulation process is specially formulated and unique to our wire winding machinery. This feature is what gives each Tuboly-Astronic WHC and WHD wire winding machine a leading-edge over its competitors. The patented insulation strip cutting and reattachment system of our WHC machine type is fully automated. This adds an additional element of efficiency and convenience. This is particularly the case when dealing with a large conductor cross-section.
The end filler insertion system on our bigger WHD machine type assists the process. This is done by inserting a filler insulation strip at the end, in addition to the single or double insulation strip(s). It is inserted via a separate end filler guiding unit. The insulation strip moves ahead of the wire, building up the insulation. When it reaches the end, the required filler height is calculated by the wire winding machine. Depending on the machine type, the made-to-measure end filler strip is cut and built automatically by the wire winding machine.
Flat pressing technology
The integrated flat pressing technology is another advantageous feature of the wire winding machine, particularly in terms of reducing transformer manufacturing costs. When the conductor is initially insulated, a circular-shaped wire is created. The enamel insulation is industry-standard and used for its toughness so that the wire can withstand common stressors during high-voltage operation. With the flattening unit on the wire winding machine, the wire can be flattened to the desired height. The flatter the wire, the higher the filling factor, meaning that the overall coil dimensions will be reduced. This in turn results in significant cost savings, because less conductor material and core material will be required. Consequently, the transformer tank volume can be reduced.
Dancer-regulated brake system
One of the benefits of a high-tech, automated system is the guaranteed consistency of the wire coil and insulation strip tension. This is aided by the integrated dancer-regulated brake system. The dancer system effectively regulates the speed of the motorised brake rollers on the wire winding machine. It does this according to the coil shape, controlling and maintaining the programmed wire tension so that this remains constant. The dancer-controlled tension also ensures a high-quality filling factor, which allows for small radial tolerances. The mechanics of the dancer system allow for consistent insulation and winding at high speeds. The wire tension can be manipulated using the integrated control panel, negating any need for manual intervention.
Should wire winding businesses get involved with employee advocacy?
This is an interesting question for companies that operate in any specialised area of industry, not just wire winding firms. After all, many such businesses have done perfectly well without promotion through employees before. That said, there are many benefits associated with this sort of approach. Firstly, the customers who buy products made from wire winding companies tend to be a tight-knit group. In other words, most people in the industry know of the majority of companies that operate in it. A good reputation is consequently easier to gain through staff-led advocacy schemes than in many other sectors.
To be clear, when people know one another and move within the industry, marketing through y own staff can be more effective. Equally, the reverse is true. If you’re not asking your employees to advocate for your company and its products, then a bad reputation can develop. This is something that you will obviously want to avoid, too. Of course, you do not need to invest in high-quality wire winding machinery to develop a marketing scheme. There are other ways you can do so. However, in the wire winding sector, the sort of machines you used to produce products will be most informative. With inferior equipment, it becomes harder to promote the right culture.
