MMP-LMHS Technology
Summary
Throughout experience in superconductor applications, Infinity Physics responded to a need and over time developed a robust solution. Not only will LMHS solve the high fidelity winding problem but LMHS also focuses on expanding and automating the entire winding process for extremely delicate to any linear media. As for the delicate wire or tape case, a combined exceptional mechanical design working in conjunction with a high precision direct closed loop control solution is required for success. As many wound coils today are too flawed for use, LMHS assists with generating quality winds in a controlled fashion that allows not only a proper starting product, but the Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) will also greatly increase for deployed SC winds. This capability then allows not only initial application winds but a reliable supply chain of replacements including for the first time the ability to design Line Replaceable Units (LRU) of QA supported SC windings which allow SC swapping without taking the larger machine offline. Not only does the unit cost greatly decrease from the increased application efficiency and performance but the means of stocking SC based replacement parts is so extreme a notion that it’s not been considered in the past due to this lack of SC application technical reliability stemming from the SC winding itself.
Technical Approach
The images shown on this page facilitate the assessment of the complexity of a winding operation. A functional diagram of a basic winding operation introduces terminology and locations requiring control. Note the possibility of having a wind angle vary across different wind diameter shapes while maintaining a single, continuous wind. The table summarizes the limitations associated with reduced control of degrees of freedom. From this functional assessment of the problem of linear media handling, the solution involves creating effective control of each of these degrees of freedom working in concert throughout the winding operation.
