Two Point Coiling

This document provides instructions for setting up a two point coiling machine to produce compression springs. It describes the basic parts and functions of the coiling machine tooling. The steps include setting the cutting points, verifying spring center contact, adjusting tension points, and programming the computer for the five sections of a compression spring - dead coil, transition, body, second transition, and last dead coil. Parameters like pitch, feed, coil count, and outer diameter are configured. Final checks ensure proper spring dimensions and machine operation before production.

Basic Principals

of Two Point
Coiling
Nothing in making springs is set
in stone.
Nothing I can think of has an
unbreakable rule that it MUST be
done a certain way.
BASIC TERMS
Tool Function
! Cutter movable part of
cutting system
! Arbor fixed part of cutting
system
! Upper coiling point
controls OD and initial
tension
! Lower coiling point centers
OD over the arbor
! Wire guide holds the wire
for the coiling process
All tooling is the right size
Installed correctly on the machine.
Wire into the machine and up to the coiling points.
! Set the cutter to straight cut
! Adjust to arbor and cutter to cut the part off.
Confirm coiling point setup
Spring center
Contact the wire in the
center line of coiling
point.
Coiling point adjustments
Lower coiling point
should be in line with
wire.
Loosen both screws of the
coiling point holders, then
feed some wire to let the
coiling points rotate to the
wire.
Get the spring to coil
Use the cutter and arbor to cut the part off
If you are using the rotating cut cutter and arbor, do not worry
about the burr at this time
! Get the part to coil and get the correct dia. ( just a little smaller than you really want )
! Correct initial tension for the spring you are making.
! You may have to remove the arbor, and or coiling points and do some modifications
to them in order to get all of this setup properly. ( This is normal! )
! Adjust in/out of the coiling point to get the desired initial tension.
Adjust the two coiling points in and
out to get the desired initial tension.
Measure the outside diameter of
the spring.
At this point you should be able to coil the spring without it
catching any place on the machine
The diameter should be correct
You should have the amount of tension that you want. If you
do not have ALL of these things do NOT go any further!
Check the initial tension on the coiled spring. If this amount is
not proper for the spring, please try to adjust the coiling points
by above step.
Computer part
Press the Q button to set the minimum OD.
Measure the part that you have coming off of the machine.
Enter OD reading in millimeters into the minimum OD section.
Enter the wire diameter in millimeters.
Go to the OD origin section input the correct OD
for your spring
Coil approx.3/4 of a coil
Bring the pitch tool up ( very close but not touching )
Record value in pitch tool section of the screen
A basic compression spring has
five basic parts.
Dead coil ( closed coil )
Transition from dead coil to body
Body
Second transition
Last dead coil
Dead coil ( closed coil )
Transition from dead coil to body
Body
Second transition
Last dead coil
The 5 parts of a compression spring
Setup program with these five sections
The dead coil should be approx. ! coil
Transition should be approx. " coil
Body is approx. the active coil count
Second transition is also approx. " coil
Last dead coil is approx. ! also
a. the dead coil should be approx. ! coil
b. transition should be approx. " coil
c. body is approx. the active coil count
d. second transition is also approx. " coil
e. last dead coil is approx. ! also
Check to see if the part is square
( both ends )
Work on the front end first
Adjust feed in the N command first
end
Going up, then add wire
Going down, subtract wire
Keep this within + - .25 coils of the .75
coils you started with
The ends not being square is not a
product of the machine speed, it has
to do with the amount of wire in the
transition. ( pitch to feed ratio )
Transition is kicked up
Transition laid down
If you can NOT get the end square, do the following.
Pitch tool origin is 8.00 and you have a pitch movement from
the trail of 14.00.
Insert pitch value of 11.00 ( center of 8.00 and 14.00 )
Press INS key to create a new step between step 2 and step 3. The original step 3 will move down to
step 4.
MOVE N .38 PT 11.00
MOVE N .38 PT 14.00
! of the .75 value is .38
PT 10.0 = 14.0 ( body pitch ) + 8.0 ( origin ) / 2
11.0 is in the middle of these two values.
Adjust the feed on both steps
Adjust the pitch value on 003.
DO NOT ADJUST THE PITCH ON 004 TO ADJUST THE
SQUARNESS ( PITCH FOR THE BODY )
Do the same for the squareness of the last end. ( 2nd transition )
Difference is you will send the PT back to the PT origin.
Both ends square
The machine should be running at rate
All the tooling should be set
Arbor should be in the proper location etc.
Correct number of coils ( proper number of
coils + - 1/4 of a coil )
At this point you should have the following
setup the cutting system
Fig-A
Fig-B Fig-C
Measure the end coils to the body
Input the OD command in the program
The OD command will go in the TRANSITION
section, not the body feed!
Add OD command to the step3 when it starts to coil the spring with pitch. Add OD command to the step3 when it starts to coil the spring with pitch.
Required OD of 25mm, ( the OD origin is
25.0mm )
Body measures 24.5mm
OD command of approx. 25.5mm
Back end of spring ( the last transition )
OD back to the origin.( back to 25.0mm )
If you have two sections, you will need
two OD commands!
If you have two sections for the transition like
below, then you will need two OD commands.
The OD command will go on the same line as the
pitch.
Add OD command to the step3 when it starts to coil the spring with pitch.
Final Adjustments
Check numbers of coils
Check free length
Check OD of spring
Check running speed
Check that all adjustment bolts are tight
Set counter
Start production
