At EGODRIFT we rely on the art of hand-winding motors for every single one of our models (with no exception) for a variety of reasons:
1) Fill grade - packing more copper
While machine winding would certainly be a whole lot faster, cheaper and easier, there are a few technical downsides to using winding machines: The biggest one of them being the achievable fill grade = how much copper (wire) you manage to squeeze into the bell around the stator arms. A winding machine relies on bigger (and static) tolerances to wind the wire lobes around the stator and cannot adjust it's winding routines as good as one of our winding experts can with every lobe. They wrap, pull, push and fit the wires around the stator to manually reduce the empty space between windings to the maximum, thus achieving a higher fill grade in the bell than a machine could. Think of empty space inside a bell and between the stator arms as wasted potential. And for copper on the stators the one thing that holds true is: the more the better.
2) Quality control - Each motor is going through our experts hands
By winding each stator manually, we ensure that all components - the stator itself, as well as the wire, and the finished assembly - is going through the hands of our winding experts for several minutes. Any imperfection in the material or the assembly will immediately be noticed and any products that fail our rigorous standards when it comes to winding our stators can be discarded immediately.
3) True craftsmanship - and not mass production
Our lovely winding ladies have been building motors for us for well over a decade, and we will continue to rely on hand-winding for many years to come. We believe motor winding by hand is an art, and a skill that needs to be preserved. Each one of our motors is a piece of true craftsmanship, not the result of mass production. And we love our staff, and feel it's our responsibility to secure their jobs for the community.
