The Fixture Motion Semi-Automatic Wire Wrap Machine is designed to make wire wrapping test fixtures and printed circuit boards easier and faster. click to enlargeIt is designed to accept a fixture or PC board in many different forms, and can accept any size fixture or PC board up to 33 inches by 31 inches, including the "Hewlett Packard Double Wide" test fixture.

How it works...

Using our FixtureWare™ Operating Software the operator is able to import these data formats: ASCII Text, Genrad NAR, Hewlett Packard wires, Teradyne Momentum, and WireProQC Sequence Files. The ASCII import allows files in almost any format to be imported into FixtureWare™ software. The operator is given a graphic representation of the fixture or PC board to be wired on his or her computer monitor, The operator is also supplied with the physical X, Y location of the pin to be wired by the "Gun Holder" on the wire wrap machine. For more information on the operation of our software please go to the FixtureWare™ Operating Software page. The Translator Plate of the fixture to be wired is typically mounted on the left side of the Wire Wrap Machine with the wire wrap posts of the probe sockets facing toward the operator. The Probe Plate is typically mounted on the right side with the wire wrap posts also facing the operator. Physically locating the Translator Plate and the Probe Plate is made easy using our vertically adjustable cross bars and our fixture holding blocks.

This wire wrap machine can be used to wire printed circuit boards, back planes, or HP fixtures. The printed circuit board layout can be imported into FixtureWare™ software using the ASCII import feature.

click to enlargeHere you can see a fixture being held in place by our fixture holding blocks. These blocks have a "V" shape to hold plates with a thickness of up to 5/8 inch. This specific Wire Wrap Machine uses a gun holder which allows removal of the wire wrap gun for loading. We also manufacture a gun holder which holds the wire wrap gun in a fixed position for those who prefer it.

The positioning system uses a timing belt reinforced with a stainless steel cord for positioning. This eliminates the maintenance and oil splatter associated with ball screws.
