Objective
The European manufacturing industry annually consumes a vast range of electrical coils. These coils vary widely in their form, size and specification. For example transformers, rfi and tuning chokes solenoids and motor windings, etc. Generally, all these coils are produced on machines of non-EC design and construction. Often, these machines are not performance optimised nor are they particularly quick or easy to set-up, and they can require frequent maintenance and repair In order to maintain coil quality. All these factors set a fundamental limit to the EC coil winders' production throughput, machinery utilisation, product quality and profitability. As a result, it is proposed to undertake a trans-national EC collaborative design and development programme produce an advanced, flexible coil winding technology to overcome many of the shortcomings of contemporary machines. The highly integrated machine to be produced will combine the very best of modern mechanical, electronic and software technology (Mechatronics) capable of being developed in Europe. Software configurable winding gear, having the facility to be rapidly configured by semi-skilled operators, will produce a variety of coil types within the wire handling capability of the machine using a common generic technology platform. Special handling techniques for high speed processing of very flexible and delicately insulated electrical wires will also be considered. Also, the post coiling operations required to complete the manufacturing activity such as dressing and retention of the formed coils, binding of wire ends, preparation for on-line soldering and parametric testing of the final coils will be examined.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
