TRACES International Outreach
A Prototype designed and made as part of my engineering studies, to be a automated machine that winds copper coils, which is very important for electronics, that minimises the amount of human involvement in making copper coils.
Year
2025-Ongoing
Task: Automating Coil Winding
Coil winding is the method where cooper coils are made, and they are very important in electronics, as inductors and motors needs copper coils to function. There are many machines that already exists, but they all involved human interaction to some degree, with some require large amount of human action, to mount the spool, to set the wire, to cut the wire at the end, and to fix the coil, etc, and many with greater degrees of automation. This project aims to prototype a machine with a greater degree of automation, to serve as a replacement of a current machine with a fictional company, and to determine whether or not it would benefit the company to buy the new machine.
