This chapter introduces you to the device and the main components.

3 •Device Overview
ToneWinder V 1.0 “The ultimate CNC winder” Page 19
3.1 Device Features
The device comprises the following main features:
•User friendly Pickup winder for musical instruments, totally autonomous,
works without the need for a computer connection.
•Winding speed may reach 1500 r.p.m.. Nevertheless, we do recommend
not to exceed 1,000 r.p.m.
•Automatic winding available in four different winding strategies.
•There is also a manual winding mode with additional manual speed
control.
•The wire tension sensor monitors the tension wire across the whole
winding and automatically hold the process in case of wire breaks. Wire
tension may be adjusted during winding.
•There is a tachometric sensor that hold the winding in case of motor
blocking.
•All settings and controls made with the 2,8 inches touchscreen so there
is no need for a PC connection.
•Software upgrades can be made via Wi-Fi.
3.2 Operating Principle
ToneWinder®is designed for winding up instrument pickups, generally
guitars and basses. Its main function is to be able to wind up musical
instrument pickups, doing it with the accuracy that a CNC offers you, the
advantage of which is to control at all times:
•Position of the wire that you are winding
•Speed of rotation of the bobbin
•Real tension of the wire
In this way, you can program the automatic winding in the way you like the
most in order to achieve certain nuances in the sound of the pickup. It can
also work semi-automatically, manually guiding the wire.
