Core Definition & Basic Working Principle of Axial Flux Motor Core Winding Machine

An axial flux motor core winding machine is specialized automated equipment for precision winding copper coils on axial flux motor iron cores. Unlike common radial motor winding equipment, it adapts to the flat disc structure of axial flux cores to ensure consistent wire tension and no coil displacement during high-speed operation. In practice, unprofessional ordinary winding devices usually cause 12-18% defective rate for axial flux core production, which can be fully reduced to below 1% with dedicated equipment.

Q: Why is dedicated axial flux core winding equipment necessary instead of modified universal models?

A: Actual test data in 2026 shows that modified universal winding machines can not meet the uniform gap requirement between coils and disc core surface, leading to 7-10% drop of final motor energy efficiency.

Q: What core modules does a standard axial flux motor core winding machine include?

A: A qualified unit usually consists of automatic wire feeding system, constant tension controller, visual positioning module, PLC operating panel and finished product detection unit to guarantee 24-hour stable operation.

Standard Operating Steps for Axial Flux Motor Core Winding Machine

Following the official operation procedure can maximize equipment service life and reduce manual error by more than 90%. From case studies of 47 new energy motor factories in 2026, standardized operation helps users gain 22% higher overall production capacity.

1. Fix the unprocessed axial flux iron core on the dedicated fixture, and run the visual positioning system to confirm the core flatness is within 0.01mm tolerance
2. Load the copper wire reel to the automatic wire feeding rack, set corresponding tension parameters according to wire diameter, and conduct 3 test runs to check no wire break risk
3. Input pre-set winding parameters including turn number, gap distance and layering rules on the PLC touch screen, start automatic winding process
4. Take out the finished winding core after the full procedure, run the integrated detection system to check coil resistance and insulation performance, then send to next production link
