Winding Traverse System

This winding traverse system uses a reciprocating mechanism that transforms the continuous rotation of a smooth shaft into a linear back-and-forth motion — kinematically similar to a screw/nut system, with two additional functions: pitch adjustment and direction reversal, enabling near-instantaneous direction change. These mechanisms are widely used in winding to correctly distribute wires or cables on a bobbin. Pedagogical Activities: Functional analysis of all functions.
