The HDH is primarily a very rugged and versatile winder which can handle all but the heavies wires. The operator will soon appreciate the many convenience features. The large digital display electronic counter is easily read and can be switched to count up to a preset count regardless of which direction the spindle is set to turn. In either mode , if the operator backs off a turn, the counter will subtract that turn. The traverse end stops are also adjustable for fine adjustments of traverse length.
All controls are on the front panel within convenient reach of the operator.
There are no back gears to engage for low speed and high torque. The coil can be wound in high speed range to within a few turns of finish, and then, without stopping, switch to low speed with the rocker switch, and finish up with plenty of torque and control for stopping accurately, or for inching to the proper position under full and controlled power. When the operator's foot is off the pedal, the spindle is locked automatically or left free at the operator's choice. Also, on the face of the machine is an ammeter which enables the operator to occasionally monitor the current being pulled by the motor. The optional variable speed traverse mechanism is a popular option.
