Traversing system automatically ensures a cylindrical winding

To obtain a cylindrical winding in the particularly critical reversing area, Uhing has developed the AVS Traversing Width Controller that does not require any interference-prone optical sensors.

The traversing system used here is the well-known Uhing rolling ring drive featuring pneumatically controlled reversing triggered by a microcontroller. As soon as the AVS detects a dent or bulge in the reversal area, it stores the traversing system position and the type of flaw. In the next traversing strokes, the controller will correct this flaw by adapting the traversing width. The result is an optimally wound cylindrical coil that can be further processed without problems.
