Intuitive Touch Software for Winding Machines – Powerful & Versatile

The user interface was specially developed for intuitive and efficient touch operation on winding machines.

In addition to essential functions such as Open, Save, Copy, Delete, Edit, and Print winding programs, the software offers numerous advanced features:

  • Integrated language switch for international use
  • Extensive configuration options
  • Service-relevant diagnostic tools
  • Tools for system optimization and machine customization

Thanks to its clearly structured interface, the software supports both machine operators in daily production and technical staff during machine configuration and customization.

Home screen – central user interface Display of main winding parameters and activated setup functions Display of main winding parameters and special functions
Manual functions Programming page for entering all relevant winding parameters Programming page with example – copying the right reversal point
Programming page for entering all relevant winding parameters Programming functions & control, winding types extension Display and acknowledgment of already corrected errors
Overview of active error messages INPUTS: Configuration of programmable inputs and outputs with various options Language switching – also supports Cyrillic and Chinese
I/O diagnostics incl. forcing function, status queries, and live diagnostics Language texts for individual adaptation of interface texts System update function for software maintenance
Backup function PLC integration for external control and data exchange PLC integration incl. I/O forcing, status monitoring, and live diagnostics
System settings – basic info Network settings Process step management
This interface allows users to open winding programs from various storage sources: internal iSATA drive, USB stick, network drive (FTP server), or USB floppy disk drive. As the number of stored programs increases over time, a built-in search function helps streamline selection. By entering the first three characters, the program list is automatically filtered to show relevant matches. Programs can also be saved to all of the above storage media, internal iSATA drive, USB stick, network (FTP), and floppy disk drive.
