Manual Winders

Coil Winding: Manually wind coils for electric motors, transformers, or other electrical equipment according to blueprints or technical specifications.

Material Handling: Select and prepare materials, such as copper wire or other conductive materials, and load them onto the winding machines.

Setup and Adjustment: Set up winding machines, adjusting settings such as speed, tension, and wire gauge to ensure the coils are wound precisely and to the correct specifications.

Monitor the Winding Process: Watch for issues such as uneven winding, tangling, or other defects during the winding process and make adjustments as needed.

Inspect Coils: Inspect finished coils for defects, ensuring they meet required electrical and mechanical standards.

Assembly: Once winding is complete, assist in assembling the coils into the motor or other equipment, ensuring proper placement and connection of the windings.

Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on winding tools and equipment, including cleaning, lubricating, and replacing parts as needed.

Troubleshooting: Diagnose and fix any issues that arise during the winding process, including machine malfunctions or winding errors.

Quality Control: Ensure that each coil meets the necessary quality and performance standards for the electrical products being produced or repaired.

Documentation: Keep accurate records of the winding process, including wire types, sizes, and quantities used, as well as any issues encountered during production.

Safety Compliance: Follow all safety procedures to protect yourself and others, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to workplace safety guidelines.

Experience: Previous experience in motor winding, coil winding, or working in electrical manufacturing is preferred, but training is often provided for candidates with a technical aptitude.

Education: High school diploma or equivalent. Technical or vocational training in electrical engineering or a related field is a plus.

Knowledge of electric motors, transformers, and other electrical components.
