Abstract

An apparatus and method for producing molded coils of the present invention includes a molding machine having threaded spindles for receiving the coils to be molded. The coils are threaded over the spindles so that during the molding process the pitch and diameter of the coils are accurately maintained. The process is automated by use of a controller and automated assembly machinery. The controller and automated assembly machinery integrate a coil winder, a molding machine, and an auto bagger to automate the entire process of producing the molded coils.
