Coil Winding Specialist
In today’s world, the demand for miniaturized and microscopic parts for components such as sensors and transducers is increasing. These components are often used in manufacturing state-of-the-art micro-motion control and positioning systems. Many of these tiny components require miniaturized coils, but the creation of such coils, which involves connecting ultra-fine wires, presents substantial manufacturing difficulties.
Moreover, winding microscopic coils with ultra-fine wire is a significant challenge, especially if the expected size or shape of the coil is constrained by numerous physical and environmental factors. Coils may also have to meet ultra-strict tolerance requirements.
This means traditional coil winding techniques are insufficient. Companies that have produced regular coils in the past often lack the technology or manufacturing processes needed to produce coils small enough to meet current requirements. For this reason, if you require specialized micro coils, you should consult with a specialist micro coil manufacturer such as Benatav.
Benatav Develops State-of-the-art Coil Production Techniques
To overcome the various problems presented when manufacturing miniaturized coils, Benatav has spent over 20 years developing the necessary techniques and processes which allow us to produce such coils at very competitive rates.
As mentioned above, one of the problems encountered when producing miniature coils is leaving the insulation layer that covers the conducting wire unharmed undamaged due to ultra-fine tooling sets.
Another major problem is the difficulty in joining the ultra-fine wires that are used to wind the coils.
The ultimate answer to these connectivity challenges was found in the form of an innovative, thermo-pressure bonding technology refined by Benatav to meet the standards of the ultra-fine wire field. Our unique thermo-compression process allows us to join ultra-fine wires which may be as small as 9 microns, (0.00035″ 8–10 times thinner than a human hair).
Advantages of Micro Compression Bonding
Advantages of micro compression bonding include:
- Reduced noise levels
- Strain relief at connections
- Safer production process. No risk of damaging sensitive components
- Highly reliable connection—no oxidization
- Lower production costs—using mass production (compared to alternatives)
- Robust, automated manufacturing process—eliminates human error caused by skill levels and worker experience
Examples of Connections
Thermo-pressure bonding can connect:
- Miniature copper thermocouples to ultra-fine wires
- Metal to metal connections of micro-coils to a printed circuit board using thicker intermediate wires
- Micro coils to a support system using metal-plated terminals
The molecular connections formed by this thermo-pressure bonding technology provide highly reliable, corrosion-free, and strain-free joints. The process is also more economical than traditional soldering or welding, which lowers manufacturing costs. We have extensively tested thermo-pressure bonding in a wide variety of customer environments and implemented it in several production processes. The process has proven suitable for both disposable and long-life products, for example, permanent implant
