The Pillarmat II has been specifically designed to operate with vertical or horizontal high production multi-spindle winding machines with up to 24 spindles.
During winding, the wire runs through the Pillarmat II, which provides constant tension by means of a specially designed fine wire tensioner. When the winding machine stops, the Pillarmat II forms the wire into multi-stranded narrow loops. These are then twisted together to produce a reinforced length (skein) of wire which is much stronger than the origional wire.
The winding machine then winds the skein into coils, producing reinforced "finish" leads. The skeins are then cut or terminated, leaving enough skein to provide the "start" leads for the next set of coils to be wound.
