An optional motor drive add-on kit (Power Base™) is now available. This unit is a high tech motor drive option for the standard ball winder. It has a variable speed control, reverse, slow and fast speeds, an auto-slip belt drive, and allows the user to also use an optional foot pedal for hands free operation, and auto shut-off when used with the Electronic Yarn Meter™.
Includes 2 heavy duty table clamps (5/16" L-bolts). These allow for mounting to table thicknesses of up to 2.5". Our clamping systems are preferred by most fiber artists. 1 year limited warranty for both consumer and commercial use (see warranty terms for details). Designed and manufactured in the USA.
A motorized Power Base unit that motorizes the Heavy Duty Ball Winder . Like the ball winder itself, this is a commercial grade motor unit. The unit incorporates some very high end features not previously available on any electric ball winder. Speed Range - approx. 200 to 800 RPM (based on balls measuring 2" to 7" in diameter). Yarn winding rate goes from 0.6 yds. to 5.5 yds. per second. Average winding rate is approx. 3.1 yards per second. Winding rate depends on both the speed and amount of yarn on spindle - the more yarn on the spindle the faster the winding rate is per second.
Instead of a membrane switch panel, the user has a rotary speed control. This is an analog control whereas the membrane switch is digital on the standard Power Base. The Lite version does not include a reverse direction function or foot pedal interface. Nor can it be directly connected to the Electronic Yarn Meter. However, this does not mean that the user cannot use it with the new Electronic Yarn Meter, it just means that the Meter cannot automatically turn off the Power Base.
This is a commercial grade measurement tool capable of measuring the length of virtually any yarn at an extremely accurate rate. It is designed to be used with any ball winder or other tool capable of pulling yarn through the meter. You may even measure yarn by pulling it through by hand if so desired. We know of no limitations to its use other than the maximum diameter of yarn being measured should be less than 5/16". Ribbon yarn may be measured through the EYM.
This unit will work with any ball winder or other device that can pull yarn through it (even your hand!). But only thePower Base (shown above) will accept a connection from this meter and allow the meter to shut the Power Base off.
In addition to the height and depth adjustments, the user can even rotate the EYM Module around the vertical 1" hardwood dowel giving the user a 3rd axis with which to make adjustments in the yarn path.
Measures Yarn in both Yards and Meters. It will also allow you to convert length to weight so that you can measure out 1 ounce or 1 Lb.
1 year limited warranty for both consumer and commercial users
The unit is available in 3 sizes. These sizes relate to the height adjustability and the table depth adjustment:
