Title: Angular winding

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Winding devices are widely used and may include a diverse assortment of implementations and applications. For example, a reel of string, wire, and/or a filament can be dereeled and wound and/or turned onto a cylindrical object (e.g., a rod, a tube, a mandrel). The filament can be wound onto the cylindrical object perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. The filament can be wound by winding the filament around the cylindrical object. The winding can be performed under varying degrees of tension. High tension during winding can result in higher rigidity and strength whereas low tension can result in more flexibility. A filament can be wound onto a cylindrical object in multiple layers. For example, a first layer can be wound across the cylindrical object from left to right and then a second layer can be wound from right to left over the first layer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Winding a wire onto an object (e.g., a cylindrical object, a rod, a tube, a mandrel, etc.) at an angle other than perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the object can be difficult. The tension of the wire at an angle can cause the wire to move sideways along the cylindrical object in an unwanted direction. Winding the wire with a minimized and constant tension on the wire can allow the wire to maintain a location at a winding point along the cylindrical object. The variation in tension can be minimized by maintaining the winding point at a position orthogonally stationary with respect to a longitudinal axis (also known as axis of rotation) of an axle while rotating the axle. Orthogonally stationary can refer to no movement in a plane (e.g., a flat, two-dimensional surface) orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the axle while rotating the axle. In this way, the wire can be wound at an angle other than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. While in some of the following embodiments described below a wire is wound around a cylindrical object, embodiments are not so limited. 
     An object including wire wound at an angle can be useful for detection of the object location for medical navigation purposes. As an object with multiple coils wound at an angle moves through a physiological area (e.g. medically navigating a blood vessel, an esophagus, physiological tubing, etc.), the movement of the cylindrical object is detectable in directions that may not be detected by multiple coils wound around an object without angular winding (e.g., wound around an object with the turns perpendicularly to the axis of the coil). Wires wound at different angles can provide additional dimensional information to enable determination of movements and locations of an object that may not be possible with a wire wound at only one angle (e.g., perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the object). For example, precise movements of a cylindrical object used for medical navigation can include movements perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object, along the longitudinal axis, and varying degrees of movement therebetween. Winding wire on the cylindrical object at multiple angles can improve the ability to detect smaller degrees of these movements as compared to multiple coils wound at the same angle. Methods for performing such medical navigation can include electromagnetic tracking and/or navigation and electromagnetic sensing and/or sensors for such medical procedures as guiding endoscopic tools and catheters down a pulmonary tract, radiation oncology to guide implantation of radiosurgical markers and/or fiducials, in addition to other medical uses.

       FIG. 1  is an illustration of an example of a system  101  for angular winding according to the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the system  101  can include dereeling components  125 , winding components  103 , and a winding control unit  149 . The winding control unit  149  can be positioned on a flat surface, such as a table, and the dereeling components  125  can include a tension control unit  119  that can be on a flat surface (e.g., a shelf) positioned above the winding control unit  149 . In some embodiments, the dereeler can be positioned such that the dereeler and a winding point on the cylindrical object can be maintained at a constant distance apart from each other to hold constant, non-varying tension on the wire while rotating the cylindrical object. The system  101  can wind a wire  111  from a dereeler onto a cylindrical object connected to the winding components  103 . The system  101  can use a wire  111  of a number of different gauges and/or lengths. Smaller gauges of wire (e.g., wires with greater diameters) can be rotated around the cylindrical object fewer times to complete a winding of the wire across one longitudinal length of the cylindrical object. Larger gauges of wire (e.g., wires with smaller diameters) can be rotated around the cylindrical object a greater number of times to complete a winding across one longitudinal length of the cylindrical object. 
     The dereeling components  125  (e.g., dereeler) can be referred to as a “dereeler.” However, individual components of the dereeling components  125  (e.g., a combination of the tension control unit  119 , the dereeler axle  117 , and the spool  113 ) can also be referred to as a dereeler. In some embodiments, the dereeling components  125  include a wire  111  wound on a spool  113 . The spool  113  can be connected to a side of the tension control unit  119 . In some embodiments, the spool rotates freely about the dereeler axle  117  and tension on the wire  111  causes the spool  113  to rotate and unwind wire  111  off of the spool  113 . In some embodiments, the dereeler axle  117  can rotate the spool  113  to unwind the wire  111  off of the spool  113 . The rotation of the dereeler axle  117  and/or the spool  113  can be coordinated with tension on the wire  111  such that the wire  111  winds off of the spool  113  while the wire&#39;s tension remains substantially constant and the wire  111  remains taut. In some embodiments, the dereeling control unit  119  can control a speed and direction of rotation of the dereeler axle  117  of the spool  113 . In some embodiments, the dereeler axle  117  may not rotate and the spool  113  can rotate about the dereeler axle  117 . 
     In some embodiments, the wire  111  can be wound off of the spool  113  and around a first peg  122 - 1 . The wire  111  can be wound from the first peg  122 - 1  through a tension arm  121 . The position of the tension arm  121  (indicating a tension of the wire) changes as the wire is wound off of the spool  113  and puts pressure on the tension arm  121  to change position. The tension arm  121  can be connected to a rotatable component  123 . The rotatable component  123  can be connected to the tension control unit  119  and communicate a tension of the tension arm  121 , and thus the wire  111 , to the tension control unit  119 . The wire  111  can be wound from the tension arm  121  to a second peg  122 - 2  and around the second peg  122 - 2  before going through a wire guide  148 . In some embodiments, the wire  111  can be dereeled off of the spool  113 , through the first peg  122 - 1 , through a tension arm  121 , through a second peg  122 - 2 , and through a wire guide  148 . 
     In some embodiments, the tension arm  121  can include a loop, a rod, and a rod holder to receive the rod. The loop of the tension arm  121  can be used to receive the wire through the loop. The rod of the tension arm  121  can be inserted through a rod holder that is rotatable to allow each end of the rod of the tension arm  121  to go up and/or down due to tension from the wire  111 . The distance the loop is from the rod holder can affect the amount of tension the tension arm  121  puts on the wire  111 . For example, the tension on the wire  111  can change based on how far from the rod holder the loop of the tension arm  121  is located. In addition, the tension of the wire  111  can change based on the weight and balance of the tension arm  121 . The tension arm  121  moves up and down to control the dereeling of the wire  111  off the spool  113  via feedback of the tension arm  121  position back to the control unit  119  driving the dereeler axle  117  to allow the wire  111  to be wound onto a cylindrical object at a constant rate and tension. 
     The wire  111  can go through a wire guide  148  and be wound onto a object (e.g., a rod, a tube, a mandrel, etc.). Although not specifically illustrated, the object can be received, at  133 , by an arbor  131  of the winding components  103 . As the arbor  131  rotates around a longitudinal axis  142  of a winding axle  141 , the wire can be wound onto the object received by the arbor  131 . The winding axle  141  can be rotated about a longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . The longitudinal axis  142  can also be referred to as an axis of rotation of the winding axle  141 . The winding components  103  can rotate about the axis of rotation  142 . The arbor  131  may not rotate (e.g., spin) about the arbor&#39;s  131  longitudinal axis but rather a different longitudinal axis (e.g., longitudinal axis  142 ). That is, in some embodiments, the axis of rotation (e.g., longitudinal axis  142 ) of the cylindrical object is non-collinear with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object. In some embodiments, the cylindrical object can include a tube that the wire  111  is wound on to. The wire can be wound onto the tube and then removed and placed onto a rod. In this way, the wire can be wound onto any number of cylindrical objects and placed on any number of additional cylindrical objects once the winding is completed. 
     The winding components  103  can be implemented as a number of different embodiments for winding. For example,  FIG. 2  illustrates an example of an embodiment of winding components (e.g., winding components  103 ) including teeth of the moveable component  143  (e.g., teeth of moveable component  143  in  FIGS. 1 and 243  in  FIG. 2  in communication with teeth of cog  151  and  251 , respectively) to communicate side-to-side movement during winding. In another example,  FIG. 3  illustrates an example of an embodiment including a number of connection components (e.g., connection components  353 ,  355 , and  357 ) that communicate side-to-side movement during winding. The wire  111  can be wound off of the spool  113  when the winding components  103  are rotated about a winding axle  141 . 
     An arbor  131  can include an axle and/or spindle on which something revolves and/or rotates. The arbor  131  can receive, at  133 , the cylindrical object in an opening of the arbor that holds the cylindrical object in place. The cylindrical object can be any object that is capable of insertion into the arbor  131 . The arbor  131  can be connected to a first component  135 , a second component  137 , and a third component  139 . In some embodiments, the second component  137  can be directly connected to the arbor  131  and the second component can be directly connected to the first component  135  and the third component  139 . 
     In some embodiments, the first component  135  and second component  137  can be connected to a winding axle  141  such that when the winding axle  141  rotates, the first component  135  and second component  137  also rotate. A first cog  151  and a second cog  152  can be connected to the first component  135 . A holding component  154  can be connected to the first component  135  such that teeth of the first cog  151  and the second cog  152  turn within a portion of the holding component  154  (as illustrated in  FIG. 1  by arrows). Teeth of a moveable component  143  interact with teeth of the first cog  151  such that when the moveable component  143  moves to either side (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 1 ) along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 , the first cog  151  rotates. The first cog  151  is connected to the second cog  152  such that when the first cog  151  rotates, the second cog  152  rotates in kind (e.g., with the same angular frequency). 
     In some embodiments, a translation component  144  is connected to the third component  139  and the moveable component  143  such that the moveable component  144  slides over the first component  135 . The translation component  144  is also connected to the third component  139  such that the translation component moves side-to-side, parallel to the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 , when the third component  139  moves side-to-side. The translation component  144  can also rotate around the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  even though the third component  139  does not rotate about the longitudinal axis  141 . This is due to the winding axle  141  rotating freely within a collar of the third component  139  which allows the winding axle  141  to rotate without rotating the third component  139 . However, the axle is fixedly connected to the first component  135  and therefore the first component  135  rotates with the winding axle  141 . 
     As the third component  139  moves side-to-side, the translation component  144  also moves side-to-side an equal distance. The translation component  144  can slide over the first component  135 , allowing the teeth of the moveable component  143  to move side-to-side within the holding component  154 . The teeth of the moveable component  143  are interlocked with the teeth of the first cog  151 . As the teeth of the moveable component  143  move to the right, the first cog  151  rotates clockwise (and therefore the second cog  152  rotates clockwise). The teeth of the second cog  152  are interlocked with the teeth of the second component  137 . Therefore, clockwise rotation of the second cog  152  causes the second component  137  to move downward (e.g., downward in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  141 ). This rotation and orthogonal movement translates the side-to-side movement of the third component  139  to the arbor  131  through the first component  135  and the second component  137  (as described further in the discussion of  FIG. 2 ). 
     In some embodiments, the second component  137  can be moveably connected to the first component  135  such that the second component  137  moves in a direction orthogonal (as illustrated by the arrows in  FIG. 1 ) to the axis of the winding axle  141 . The second component  135  can be immovably fixed to the winding axle  141 . In some embodiments, the second component  135  and the winding axle  141  are immovable along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . That is, the second component  135  and the winding axle  141  rotate but do not move side-to-side along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . However, embodiments are not so limited. In another embodiment, the winding axle  141  may move along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  and the wire guide  148  would be stationary with respect to side-to-side movement. The second component  137  can be fixed to the first component  135  in relation to side-to-side movement along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  but moveable in relation to the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  142  (again, as illustrated by the arrows in  FIG. 1 ). Movement of the second component  137  in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  causes the arbor  131  to also move in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . 
     The second component  137  moves in the direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis  142  such that a winding point (e.g., winding point  471  illustrated in  FIG. 4A ) is maintained stationary (further described in discussion of  FIG. 4 ). The first component  135  and the second component  137  may not traverse along the axis of the winding axle  141 . The winding axle  141  can rotate freely within the third component  139  so that the third component moves from side to side along the axis of the winding axle  141  but does not rotate about the axis of the winding axle  141 . For example, the winding axle  141  can rotate about its axis while the third component  139  moves from side-to-side along the axis of the winding axle  141 . In some embodiments, the winding axle  141  can rotate about its axis, but does not translate along its axis. 
     In some embodiments, the third component  139  can be connected by an extension  145  to a guide axle  147 . The guide axle  147  can translate side-to-side about its longitudinal axis as illustrated by the arrows in  FIG. 1 . As such, translational movement of the third component  139  can be slaved to translational movement of the guide axle  147 . The guide axle  147  can be connected to a wire guide  148  such that when the guide axle  147  moves side-to-side, the wire guide  148  also moves side to side. The guide axle  147  can extend from a winding control unit  149 . The winding control unit  149  can control the side-to-side traversal of the wire guide  148  by moving the guide axle  147  from side-to-side a particular distance at a particular rate depending on winding factors (e.g., size of the wire, size of the cylindrical object, etc.). 
     One winding factor is a width of the wire  111 . For example, the wire guide  148  can move a larger distance side-to-side over time when winding a wire with a greater width in order to line each coil around the cylindrical object per rotation of the winding axle. The wire guide  148  can move a shorter distance over time when winding a wire  111  onto a cylindrical object with a lesser diameter due to the wire  111  covering a lesser portion of the cylindrical object in one coil around the cylindrical object during one rotation. The movement of the wire guide  148  can be translated through the third component  139 , the translation component  144 , the moveable component  143 , the first cog  151  and the second cog  152 , and the second component  137  to the arbor  131 . The arbor  131  can move the cylindrical object (e.g., cylindrical object  461  in  FIG. 4 ) such that the cylindrical object moves in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . The cylindrical object can be moved a particular distance per turn of the wire around the cylindrical object based on the width of the wire (as described above in relation to movement of the wire guide  148 ). The wire  111  can pass through the tip of the wire guide  148  and be guided onto a cylindrical object (not illustrated) received by the arbor  131 . 
     Another winding factor is a width of the cylindrical object. The greater the width of the cylindrical object, the slower the cylindrical object moves along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  to complete one coil of the wire around the cylindrical object. In the alternative, the smaller the width of the cylindrical object, the faster the cylindrical object moves along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  to complete one coil. The above mentioned speeds moving along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  is in relation to a constant speed of rotation. 
     Another winding factor is a speed of rotation of the winding axle  141 . If the speed of rotation is altered, the speeds at which the cylindrical object moves along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  may be affected. For example, a greater rotation speed can cause a speed at which the cylindrical object will move along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  to increase. However, the relative speeds (i.e., faster along the longitudinal axis of the winding axle for smaller width of the cylindrical object and slower for greater width of the cylindrical object, remains the same). 
     Another winding factor is a desired length along the cylindrical object to wind coils around the cylindrical object. If a cylindrical object is to have wire wound around only half the cylindrical object. A particular speed of rotation and a particular speed of movement of the cylindrical object along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141  can be altered based on a desired time to complete the winding of the coils around the wire. For example, at a particular wire width and cylindrical object diameter, the wire can be wound around half the length of the cylindrical object. At the particular wire width and cylindrical object diameter, the wire can be wound around a fourth of the length of the cylindrical object in half the time with the particular speeds of the rotation and the movement along the longitudinal axis  142  of the winding axle  141 . 
     The winding control unit  149  can be programmed to wind a wire  111  onto a cylindrical object (e.g., a rod, a tube) connected to an arbor  131 . The winding control unit  149  can wind the wire  111  onto the cylindrical object on the arbor  131  by rotating the winding axle  141  at a first speed, and moving the wire guide  148  in a particular direction along the longitudinal axis of the winding axle  141  for a particular length and at a second speed associated with the wire&#39;s width, a desired distance along the cylindrical object&#39;s length, and a particular angle of the winding on the cylindrical object. The particular angle can include an angle that is not perpendicular to an axis of the cylindrical object. For example, the wire can be wound onto a rod at an angle of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 70 degrees, etc., with respect to the cylindrical object. As used herein, a perpendicular angle to the axis of the cylindrical object would be a 90 degree angle. 
     The winding control unit  149  can rotate the winding axle  141  at a speed and move the guide axle  147  to the right a particular distance and at a particular speed to wind the wire  111  from left to right in the illustration in  FIG. 1  until the wire winds a desired length to the right side of the cylindrical object. The winding control unit  149  can then move the guide axle  147  to the left in order to wind the wire  111  from the right of the cylindrical object a desired length to the left side of the cylindrical object while the winding axle  141  is also caused to rotate. While the winding control unit  149  moves the guide axle  147  from left to right or right to left, the second component  137  and the arbor  131  connected to the second component  137  are moving orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  142 . The speed at which the guide axle  147  moves from side-to-side can be set based on a width of the wire  111  so that the speed of the guide axle  147  and the rotation of the winding axle  141  cause the wire to wind around the cylindrical object such that each coil of wire around the cylindrical object from one rotation of the cylindrical object is lined up next to the previous coil around the cylindrical object. In this way, each coil of the wire  111  can be wound next to a previous coil and winding the wire  111  can be completed without gaps between the coils. 
     In some embodiments, the cylindrical object inserted at  133  into the arbor  131  has adhesive applied to the cylindrical object. For example, the adhesive can be applied along the length of the cylindrical object such that a wire  111  wound onto the cylindrical object adheres to the cylindrical object. As the wire  111  is wound onto the cylindrical object at an angle, the adhesive can help prevent the wire  111  from slipping from side-to-side along the cylindrical object. The adhesive can be applied prior to the winding. The adhesive can include any number of types and consistencies. 
     In some embodiments, the wire  111  that is wound onto the cylindrical object can include a number of characteristics. For example, the wire  111  can include an adhesive on the wire  111  (e.g., in addition to or instead of an adhesive on the cylindrical object). The adhesive can prevent the wire  111  from slipping along the cylindrical object while being wound. In some embodiments, the adhesive can be applied prior to winding of the wire  111  on the spool  113 . In some embodiments, the adhesive can be applied as the wire  111  is wound off of the spool  113  and onto the cylindrical object. For example, the adhesive can be applied to the wire  111  after a portion of wire  111  passes over the second peg  122 - 2  and before the wire  111  passes through the wire guide  148 . However, embodiments of winding the wire are not so limited. The adhesive can be applied to the wire at a number of locations during the winding process. 
       FIG. 2  is an illustration of an example of winding components  203  according to the present disclosure. In some embodiments, an arbor  231  can be connected to a winding axle  241  by way of a first component  235  and a second component  237 . The arbor  231  can be connected to the second component by a platform  232  such that a wire winds at a particular angle on a cylindrical object. For example, the angle at which the arbor  231  is connected to the second component  237  by the platform  232  can determine an angle at which the wire winds onto the cylindrical object. However, embodiments are not so limited. The arbor  231  can be connected to the second component  237  using a number of connection methods. 
     The arbor  231  can receive, at  233 , a cylindrical object (e.g., a rod, a tube). The second component  237 , connected directly to the arbor  231 , can be moveable along the first component  235  (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 2 ) in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . The longitudinal axis  242  can also be referred to as an axis of rotation as the winding axle  241  rotates about this axis or rotation. The movement of the second component  237  along the first component  235  can be facilitated by teeth along the edge of the second component  237  interlocked with teeth of a second cog  252  connected to a first cog  251 . As the second cog  252  rotates, the teeth of the second cog  252  cause the teeth of the second component  237  to move the second component  237  in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . That is, movement of the third component  239  (e.g., movement of wire guide  148  connected to the third component  139  in  FIG. 1 ) can be translated to the second component  237  to cause the second component  237  to move in along a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  242 . The first cog  251  and second cog  252  can be connected to the first component  235  such that the first cog  251  and second cog  252  are fixedly connected to rotate together. The first component  235  can be connected to the winding axle  241 . The first component  235  and the second component  237  can be immovable along the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . The first component  235  and the second component  237  can be connected to the axle  241  such that when the axle  241  rotates, the first component  235  and the second component  237  rotate. 
     In some embodiments, a third component  239  can be rotatably connected to the winding axle  241  such that the winding axle  241  can rotate within the third component without the third component  239  rotating. The third component can be fixedly connected to a translation component  244  that moves side-to-side, along the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 , when the third component  239  moves side-to-side. The translation component  244  rotates around the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241  when the winding axle  241  rotates. While the third component  239  does not rotate when the winding axle  241  rotates, the translation component  244  does rotate when the winding axle  241  rotates. In some embodiments, the translation component  244  is connected to the moveable component  243 . Movement of the translation component  244  moves the moveable component  243  and rotates the first cog  251 , which in turn rotates the second cog  252 . The moveable component  243  includes teeth. The teeth of the moveable component  243  can be in communication with teeth of the first cog  251 . The teeth of the moveable component  243  can be held in place on the teeth of the first cog  251  by a holding component  254 . The moveable component  243  can move side-to-side parallel to the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241  when the third components moves side-to-side (as illustrated by the arrows in  FIG. 2 ) along the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . In this way, the moveable component  243  communicates side-to-side movement of the third component  239  along the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . The third component  239  can be fixedly connected to an axle (e.g., guide axle  147  in  FIG. 1 ) and a wire guide (e.g., wire guide  148  in  FIG. 1 ) connected to the axle. As the wire guide moves side-to-side with respect to the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 , the third component  239  connected to the wire guide also moves side-to-side. 
     As the third component  239  moves side-to-side, the side-to-side movement is communicated through the translation component  244  and the moveable component  243  through interaction of the teeth of the moveable component  243  with the teeth of the first cog  251  to rotate the first cog  251  and therefore also to rotate the second cog  252 , which by interaction of the teeth of the second cog  252  with the teeth of the second component  237 , causes the second component  237  to move orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241 . 
     The teeth of the moveable component  243 , the first cog  251 , the second cog  252 , and the second component  237  can be spaced such that a winding point (e.g., winding point  471  in  FIG. 4A ) of a cylindrical object received by the arbor  231  is maintained at a particular position (as described in  FIG. 4 ). The teeth of the moveable component  243 , the first cog  251  and second cog  252 , and the second component  237  can be adjusted to accommodate a wire to wind at a particular angle on a cylindrical object. While an angle at which the arbor  231  is connected to the second component  237  determines a particular angle at which the wire winds onto the cylindrical object, other components (e.g., teeth on cogs  251  and  252 , and moveable component  243 ) may need to be adjusted. For example, the teeth can be spaced a first distance apart so that the second component  237  moves orthogonal a second distance when the third component  239  moves a third distance (and therefore a wire guide connected to the third component  239  moves the third distance from side-to-side as well) from side-to-side along the longitudinal axis  242  of the winding axle  241  to wind the wire at a first angle (e.g., 45 degrees). In another example, the teeth can be spaced a fourth distance apart so that the second component moves orthogonal a fifth distance when the third component  239  moves a sixth distance to wind the wire at a second angle (e.g., 30 degrees). A number of degrees for winding the wire onto a cylindrical object can be achieved by adjusting the spacing of the teeth to accommodate the number of degrees. In some embodiments, a gear ratio (e.g., of cogs  251  and  251 ) can be adjusted when the particular angle at which the wire winds onto the cylindrical object is changed and/or adjusted. For example, a diameter of the first cog  251  and the second cog  252  can be adjusted such that when the third component  239  moves to the right (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 2 ), the first cog  251  and the second cog  252  can rotate at a different rate to cause the second component  237  to move in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  242  at an additional different rate. These adjustments of the gear ratios and/or space between teeth are implemented to maintain a winding point, as described further below in  FIG. 4 . 
       FIG. 3  is an illustration of an example of winding components  303  according to the present disclosure. A first component  335  can be fixedly connected to a winding axle  341  such that rotation of the winding axle  341  about its longitudinal axis  342  (as indicated by the arrows in  FIG. 3 ) causes rotation of the first component  335 . This longitudinal axis  342  can also be referred to as an axis of rotation as the winding axle  341  and additional components (e.g., second component  337 , first component  335 , among others) rotate about this longitudinal axis  342 . A second component  337  can be slidably connected to the first component  335  such that the second component  337  is moveable in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341  along the first component  335  (as indicated by the arrows in  FIG. 3 ). For example, the second component  337  can be slidably connected to a track component  336  that is fixedly connected to the first component  335 . The second component  337  can be connected to an arbor  331 . The arbor  331  can receive, at  333 , a cylindrical object (e.g., a rod, a tube, a mandrel, etc.). The first component  335  and the second component  337  can be immovable along the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341 . 
     In some embodiments, a third component  339  can be connected to a wire guide (e.g., wire guide  148  in  FIG. 1 ). The third component  339  can communicate side-to-side movement of the third component  339  (and therefore the wire guide) along the longitudinal axis  342  (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 3 ) through a first connection component  353 , a second connection component  357 , and a third connection component  357 . The third component  339  can be connected to a translation component  344  that translates side-to-side movement along the longitudinal axis  342  of the third component  339 . The third component can be connected to the translation component  344  such that when the third component  339  moves side-to-side, the translation component  344  moves side-to-side. However, the translation component  344  rotates around the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341  when the winding axle  341  rotates even though the third component  339  does not rotate around the longitudinal axis  342 . In some embodiments, the translation component  344  is connected the first connection component  353  at a first pivot point  359 - 1 . The first pivot point  359 - 1  can be rotatably connected to the translation component  344 . The first connection component  353  can be connected to the second connection component  355  at a second pivot point  359 - 2 . The second connection component  355  can be connected to the first component  335  at a third pivot point  359 - 3 . The third pivot point  359 - 3  can be rotatably connected to the first component  335  such that a second connection component  355  rotates around the third pivot point  355 . The second connection component  355  can be connected to the third connection component  357  at a fourth pivot point  359 - 4 . The third connection component  357  can be connected to the second component  337  at a fifth pivot point  359 - 5 . Movement of the third component  339  from side-to-side along the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341  can cause the translation component  344  to move along the longitudinal axis  342  as well. Movement of the translation component  344  causes the first connection component  353  to move as well (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 3 ). 
     Movement of the first connection component  353  can cause movement of second connection component  355  and the third connection component  357  (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 3 ). The angle at which the first, second, and third connection components  353 ,  355 , and  357  are connected can be determined by lengths of the first connection component  353 , the second connection component  355 , and the third connection component  357 , in addition to the position of the winding mechanism  303 . For example, as the third component  339  moves to the right (in the example in  FIG. 3 ), the first connection component  353 , the second connection component  355 , and the third connection component  357  move to the right. The first pivot point  359 - 1  moves to the right, the second pivot point  359 - 2  moves upward and to the right, the third pivot point  359 - 3  allows the second connection component  355  to rotate clockwise, the fourth pivot point  359 - 4  moves to the right and downward, and the second component  337  moves downward. This movement is based on predetermined angles and lengths that result in the second component moving downward a particular distance when the third component  339  moves right along the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341 . If the angle of the arbor  331  in relation to the second component  337  is modified, the lengths of the first connection component  353 , the second connection component  355 , and the third connection component  357  would need to be modified to change the angles at which each piece is connected to cause the arbor  331  to move to maintain a winding point (e.g., winding point  471  described in  FIGS. 4A and 4B ). 
     As the wire guide connected to the third component  339  moves to the right to move the wire (e.g., wire  111  in  FIG. 1 ) to the right along the cylindrical object, the third component  339  moves an equal distance to the right. As an example, movement of the third component  339  to the right causes the first connection component  353  to move to the right. Movement of the first connection component  353  causes the second pivot point  359 - 2  to move in an upward and rightward direction with respect to the orientation of the winding components  303  illustrated in  FIG. 3 . As will be appreciated, the description of these relative directions would change as the winding components  303  rotate about the winding axle  341 . The second pivot point  359 - 2  moving in an upward and rightward direction causes the fourth pivot point  359 - 4  to move rightward and downward. The rightward and downward movement of the fourth pivot point  359 - 4  causes the third connection component  357  to move downward and rightward. The downward and rightward movement of the third connection component  357  causes the second component  337  to move in a downward direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341  along the track component  336 . As an example, when the wire guide and the third component  339  move to the left, the second component  337  moves in an upward direction along the track component  336 . The first connection component  353 , the second connection component  355 , and the third connection component  357  can be adjusted to cause the second component  337  to move orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  342  of the winding axle  341  at a particular rate and distance correlating to the side-to-side movement of the third component  339  along a longitudinal axis  342  to wind a wire onto a cylindrical object at a particular angle. 
       FIG. 4A  is an illustration of an example of winding according to the present disclosure. The wire  411 , the arbor  431 , and the winding axle  441  are analogous to the wire  111 , the arbor  131 , and the winding axle  141  illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The wire  411  can be wound onto a cylindrical object  461 . The cylindrical object  461  (e.g., a rod, a tube) can include a proximal end  463  closest to an arbor  431 . The cylindrical object  461  can include a distal end  465  furthest from the arbor  431 . The arbor  431  can have an opening  433  to receive the cylindrical object  461  and hold the cylindrical object  461  while winding the wire  411  onto the cylindrical object  461 . While the cylindrical object  461  is rotated by a winding axle  441  (not directly connected to the cylindrical object but illustrated for reference to a longitudinal axis  442  of the winding axle  441 ). Rotation of the winding axle  441  can cause rotation of the cylindrical object  461  about the longitudinal axis  442  of the winding axle  441 . For this reason, the longitudinal axis  442  can also be referred to as an axis of rotation. The rotation of the cylindrical object  461  can cause the wire  411  to wind onto the cylindrical object  461  from a dereeler (e.g., dereeler  125  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 ). 
     While the cylindrical object  461  is rotating, the proximal end  463  of the cylindrical object  461  can rotate such that the proximal end  463  traces a shape of a proximal oval  467  (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 4 ). While the cylindrical object  461  is rotating, the distal end  465  of the cylindrical object  461  can rotate such that the distal end  465  traces a shape of a distal oval  469  (as illustrated by arrows in  FIG. 4 ). The rotation of the proximal end  463  and distal end  465  in the shape of proximal oval  467  and distal oval  469 , respectively, can create a winding point  471  at which the wire  411  winds onto the cylindrical object  461 . An illustrated example of the wire wound on the cylindrical object at an angle  473  is further described with respect to  FIG. 4B . 
     The size of the proximal oval  467  can vary based on a location of the winding point  471  along the length of the cylindrical object  461 . For example, when the winding point  471  moves toward the proximal end  463 , the proximal oval  467  will decrease in diameter, meaning the proximal end  463  will trace a smaller path. As the winding point  471  moves toward the proximal end  463 , the distal oval  469  will increase in diameter and the distal end  465  will trace a larger path. In contrast, the distal oval  469  will decrease in diameter and the distal end  465  will trace a smaller path when the winding point  471  moves toward the distal end  465 . Likewise, the proximal oval  467  will increase in diameter and the proximal end  463  will trace a larger path as the winding point  471  moves toward the distal end  465 . 
     The winding point  471  can be maintained such that the winding point does not move in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442  of the winding axle  441 . For example, as a wire guide (e.g., guide axle  147  in  FIG. 1 ) traverses from side-to-side parallel to the longitudinal axis  442  of the winding axle  441 , a second component (e.g., second component  137  in  FIG. 1 ) moves in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442 . The second component (e.g., second component  137  in  FIG. 1 ) is rotating during winding and therefore As the second component moves in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442 , arbor  431  holds the cylindrical object  461  such that the winding point  471  does not move in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442 , but rather maintains a position along the longitudinal axis  442 . The winding point  471  remains orthogonally stationary with respect to the longitudinal axis  442 . That is, the winding point  471  does not move in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442 . The arbor  431  is not orthogonally stationary as the arbor  431  moves in an orthogonal direction in relation to (e.g., in a plane orthogonal to) the longitudinal axis  442 . As the arbor  431  is moved in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442  (as indicated by the arrows in  FIG. 4A ), for example, by its connection to a second component such as second component  137  in  FIG. 1 , the winding point  471  moves along the cylindrical object  461  either closer to the proximal end  463  or closer to the distal end  465 , in order to maintain the position of the winding point  471  along the longitudinal axis  442 . The cylindrical object  461 , by its connection to the arbor  431 , moves in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442 . For example, as the arbor  431  moves away from the longitudinal axis  442  along a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442  while rotating, the distal end  465  moves closer to the longitudinal axis  442  while the proximal end  463  moves further away from the longitudinal axis  442 . In the reverse, as the arbor  431  moves toward the longitudinal axis  442  along the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis  442  while rotating, the distal end  465  moves further away from the longitudinal axis  442  while the proximal end  463  moves closer to the longitudinal axis  442 . 
     Because the position of the winding point  471  is maintained along the longitudinal axis  442  while the wire guide (e.g., guide axle  147  in  FIG. 1 ) moves the wire  411  along the longitudinal axis  442  of the winding axle  441 , the wire  411  experiences a constant tension and is less likely to slip a variable amount along the cylindrical object  461 . For example, if the winding point moved toward a dereeler in a direction orthogonal (e.g., in an upward direction in  FIG. 1  toward dereeler  125 ) to the longitudinal axis  442 , then the tension of the wire  411  would be lessened and would reduce slipage along the cylindrical object  461 . In contrast, if the winding point moved away from a dereeler in an orthogonal direction to the longitudinal axis (e.g., in a downward direction in  FIG. 1  away from dereeler  125 ), the tension on the wire  411  would increase and the winding of the wire  411  could be affected. By controlling the position at which the wire  411  winds onto the cylindrical object  461 , the wire  411  has an increased ability to wind without slipping or with a constant slippage amount and without affecting the accuracy of the placement of the wire  411  while winding. 
       FIG. 4B  is an illustration  473  of a portion of the winding of  FIG. 4A  in more detail. In some embodiments, a wire  411  can be wound around a cylindrical object  461  at an angle that is not perpendicular to an axis  475  of the cylindrical object  461 . For example, a wire  411  can be wound at a number of angles (e.g., 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 30 degrees, etc.) that do not include a 90 degree angle with a longitudinal axis  475  of a cylindrical object  461 . Each coil of the wire around the cylindrical object  461 , due to a single rotation of the longitudinal axis  441 , can be wound next to a previous coil (as illustrated in  FIG. 4B ). For example, a first rotation can wind the wire  411  around the cylindrical object  461  once for a first coil. A second rotation of the longitudinal axis  441  can wind the wire  411  around the cylindrical object to place a second coil of the wire around the cylindrical object  461  right next to the first coil. The wire can be wound around the cylindrical object  461  so that there is no space between the first coil and the second coil (e.g., without a space between each turn of the wire). This process can be repeated to wind the wire around the cylindrical object such that there are no spaces (e.g., gaps) from coil to coil along the cylindrical object  461  (as illustrated in  FIG. 4B ). 
     The wire  411  can be wound at this non-perpendicular angle due to a winding point (e.g., winding point  471  in  FIG. 4A ) being maintained such that orthogonal movement of the winding point, with respect to the longitudinal axis, is minimized. The minimization of the orthogonal movement reduces tension variation on the wire while the cylindrical object is rotating about an axis other than the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical object (e.g., a rotation of the cylindrical object such that the ends of the cylindrical object, e.g., proximal and distal ends  463  and  465 , trace ovals such as proximal oval  467  and distal oval  469 ). The winding of the wire at a non-perpendicular angle can be due to the minimization of the orthogonal movement of the winding point. The winding of the wire at a non-perpendicular angel can be due to adhesive added to the wire. The combination of the minimization of the orthogonal movement of the winding point and the adhesive on the wire can benefit the winding of the wire at a non-perpendicular angle. 
     In some embodiments, a wire can be wound onto a cylindrical object (e.g., a rod) at an angle that is not perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of an axle. In some embodiments, a wire can be wound onto a cylindrical object (e.g., a tube) at a non-perpendicular angle. The angled wire can be transferred from the tube and onto a rod. That is, a wire can be wound onto a number of cylindrical objects (e.g., a tube, a mandrel, etc.) and be transferred from any of the number of cylindrical objects and onto a different cylindrical object (e.g., a rod).
