A workhorse for multi-axis production winding is the Cyclone. The Cyclone can be configured with 3 to 6-axes of computer controlled motion and employs all digital AC servo technology. The Cyclone is also driven by our powerful Windows® based Flexwind and Composite Designer pattern development software and is well optioned to meet your specific winding requirements.

• 3 to 6-axes of computer controlled motion.
• Can be configured with 1, 2 or 3 spindles.
• Modular Horizontal Carriage bed (3m increments).
