NDE manufactures coils using enamelled copper winding wire to international standards generally in the range of 2.00mm diameter and smaller. We can offer bifilar, trifilar, Litz and rectangular wire windings, as well as aluminium wire/aluminium coated copper wire windings.

We offer comprehensive, delicate, precision winding techniques for specialist applications. We have the capability to wind small gauge wire down to 28 microns. This extends to bondable wire as well as regular enamelled wire. Smaller diameter coil leads can also be skeined to provide strength to the termination.

NDE also provide semi rigid coax forming solutions including thermal cycling stabilisation.
