Armature Winder
You will find wire coils in electrical motors such as in washing machines, drills, vacuum cleaners, gernerators, turbine engines, fans and many more. The coil is a vital part of any electrical machine; if it breaks the motor will not work. It is the job of the Armature Winder to locate the broken parts, remove them and either replace them with new ones or completely rewind all the coils. They use various kinds of testing instruments to trace burnt out coils. They work from diagrams that supply details of the arrangement of the coils, the number of turns required for each, and so on. In order to wind coils to the correct numer of turns and shape, armature winders make use of coil-winding machines.
They then check the coils, fit them into motor and generator slots and connect them according to circuit requirements. Finally, they assemble the motor, taking care not to damage the insultaiton around the wires, after which the motors and generators are ready for use.
