Abstract
Systems and methods for forming insulation on magnet wire are provided. An extruder that includes one or more rotating screws may receive a plurality of ingredients for a polymeric insulation material and process the plurality of ingredients to facilitate polymerization of the polymeric insulation material within the extruder. An application assembly in fluid communication with the extruder may apply the polymeric insulation material onto a wire. A curing device may then cure the polymeric insulation material.
Claims15
A system for forming insulation on magnet wire, the system comprising:
- an extruder comprising one or more rotating screws, wherein the extruder is adapted to receive plurality of ingredients for a thermoset polymeric insulation material and process the plurality of ingredients to facilitate polymerization of the thermoset polymeric insulation material within the extruder, the plurality of ingredients comprising (i) a monomer or a pre-polymer and (ii) a reactant;
- an application assembly in fluid communication with the extruder and adapted to apply the thermoset polymeric insulation material onto a wire;
- and
- a curing device configured to cure the thermoset polymeric insulation material following its application onto the wire, the curing device comprising at least one of (i) an oven, (ii) an infrared light curing device, (iii) an ultraviolet light curing device, (iv) a radiation curing device, (v) an electron beam curing device, or (vi) a variable frequency microwave curing device.
A system for forming insulation on magnet wire, the system comprising:
- one or more feeder assemblies adapted to supply a plurality of ingredients for a thermoset polymeric insulation material, the plurality of ingredients comprising (i) a monomer or a pre-polymer and (ii) a reactant;
- an extruder comprising one or more rotating screws, wherein the extruder is adapted to receive the plurality of ingredients from the one or more feeder assemblies and process the plurality of ingredients to facilitate polymerization of the thermoset polymeric insulation material within the extruder;
- and
- an application assembly in fluid communication with the extruder and configured to apply the thermoset polymeric insulation material onto a wire in a form containing less than thirty percent solvent by weight;
- and
- a curing device adapted to cure the thermoset polymeric insulation material and remove solvent from the thermoset polymeric insulation material.
