The KT2000 is a high speed fully-automatic toroidal core winding machine which incorporates many advanced design features and which can produce up to 140 toroidal cores per hour.
The machine is automated through the use of a Mitsubishi Programmable Logic Controller and includes an integral Argon arc welder.
Manufactured in the UK from the highest quality components and materials, and through the application of an advanced design philosophy, very significant economies are provided in low running costs, high speed operation and low maintenance.
A unique operating combination of the winding system and the TIG welder allows the steel-strip to be joined during a 'core-wind'. This allows short lengths or previous wound cores to be reused, providing great economy in the cost of basic strip steel material.
Requiring only semiskilled operating techniques, the KT2000 allows 'job-changing' to be performed in only a few minutes, reducing down time, and providing great flexibility in being able to switch between high and low volume production runs of transformer cores.
A Wide Range Of Transformer Cores & Steel Qualities
The KT2000 will operate with a wide range of steel qualities, producing outside transformer core diameters ranging from 30 mm to 200 mm with a maximum strip width of 80 mm. The machine will strictly adhere to the core winding specifications as it is manufactured to highest engineering parameters activating advanced electronics in logic control sequences.
Integral Tig Welder
The integral welder is also under full automatic control of the PLC and is brought into operation at the beginning and end of the transformer core winding cycle. The unit is manufactured to the highest standards, produces minimal HF interference, uses high-purity Argon gas and requires only the minimum of maintenance. The welding plant is heavily screened, and has been selected to complement the associated engineering standards of the KT2000 to give the highest degree of reliability.
Transformer Core Production Speed & Precision
The KT2000 produces high quality wound transformer cores at high speed and ensures constant repetition of quality and specification.
The combined engineering advances in the way in which the strip is cut, shaped to lie flat and are welded ensures that high-speed production and quality is combined with trouble-free operation.
The speed and precision at which the transformer cores are formed centres on the way they are wound.
The beginning and end of the strip are automatically cut to form a 'V' with the spot-weld being placed at the 'point' of the 'V', both inside and outside of the core. This method only requires one spot-weld regardless of strip width and gives superb finish with no lifting at the edges.
Core Output
Note: Production output will be dependent on various factors, i.e.. The size of the main donor coil and the speed at which the new coils are loaded on to the de-coiler. However as typical guide outputs should be used as follows.
| Outside Diameter |

| 50-80 mm |
140 |
| 80-105

110 |
| 105-135

Operator Control Panels
Fast and efficient setting
of the KT2000 is carried out through the two control consoles.
Each selected operation is plainly shown by the illumination
of clear indicator lamps, enabling the operator to be in no
doubt of the machines state. These consoles also feature a
batch-counter, a pressure gauge showing strip tension, a counter
for the strip cutter and a timer for the welder. The layout
and order of the controls and indicators have been arranged
so that new operators need only the minimum of time in machine
familiarisation before quickly attaining high efficiency in
production.
