The MCS2 is a high performance control capable of controlling virtually any combination of motors used for a spindle and traverse on a coil winding machine.  The embedded control technology used in this control has been derived from the popular PC based MCS6 control used on multi-axis multi-spindle coil winding machines.

Packaging of the control is about the size of a shoe box 6.5h x 8.0w x 12d which contains the complete electronic control and power supply.  The front panel uses a large button rubber keypad to enter winding data or select programs.  A four line by 40 character LCD display is used to display winding data as well as production information.

Available traverse drive configurations provide open or closed loop operation of stepping motors as well as closed loop PID control of Brushed DC Servomotors or Brushless Servomotors.

Available spindle drive configurations provide closed loop PID control of SCR driven DC motors, Brushed DC Servomotors or Brushless Servomotors.

Configurations:

SCR Regenerative Spindle 

This lower cost closed loop spindle system is possible by utilizing a simple DC motor and SCR motor control.  RPM can be programmed from zero to full spindle speed.  Rotation can be bi-directional using a supplied relay to reverse the power polarity to the motor. 
 

Servo Spindle  

This high performance closed loop spindle system provides the finest and most accurate positioning possible.  It utilizes a PID algorithm for servo positioning.  It will operate with any Brushed or Brushless motor amplifiers.  Rotation is naturally bi-directional and speed is very accurate from 0 RPM to full spindle speed of 24,000 RPM.

Stepper Traverse

This lower cost traverse system uses a standard or microstepping motor coupled to a lead screw to drive the wire guide.  It is adequate for most medium to fine wire applications due to the relatively lower traverse speeds.  The standard configuration is open loop but an optional closed loop version uses an encoder to guarantee position.

Servo Traverse 

This high performance traverse system provides the finest and most accurate positioning possible.  It utilizes a PID algorithm for servo positioning.  Wide wire range is possible since traverse speed exceeds 400 inches per minute.  Step pitch or parallel winding is available with a servo traverse. Electro Guide option now provides programmable wire guided traverse feature.
