Description
We have developed a robotic winding machine for manufacturing saddle-shaped HTS coils applicable to accelerators, motors, and MRIs. This winding machine is designed to wind HTS saddle coils with a maximum length of 50 cm and a maximum diameter of 10 cm based on a cylindrical bobbin. A 5-axis robotic arm moves to position the spooling wire accurately. After constructing the winding machine, we measured the accuracy of the multi-joint robot's movements and analyzed the deviation from the ideal winding path. To prevent wire unwinding during the winding process, additional guides and fixing pins were devised and applied to the bobbin. The winding tests were conducted using mock HTS wires made of copper and SUS. In this presentation, we will introduce the recent development process of the robotic winding machine.
