TRAVERSE 2.0 – CNC Wire Guider & Tension Control for MojoTone Pickup Winders

TRAVERSE 2.0 is a CNC wire guider and automatic tension control upgrade for MojoTone pickup winders.It upgrades your existing MojoTone winder by adding automated wire guiding, programmable winding modes, and touchscreen control. As a result, you can wind pickups more easily, more consistently, and with far less manual effort.Instead of replacing your MojoTone machine, you upgrade it. Therefore, TRAVERSE 2.0 offers a practical step toward a CNC-style workflow while keeping the equipment you already use.What TRAVERSE 2.0 Adds to Your MojoTone WinderTRAVERSE 2.0 turns a manual MojoTone winder into a CNC-assisted winding system. It actively guides the wire and controls tension during the entire winding process.With TRAVERSE 2.0 installed, you gain:Automated CNC wire guiding with millimeter accuracyAutomatic wire tension control during windingTouchscreen control of start, stop, and winding speedProgrammable winding modes and saved projectsMore consistent coils with less operator fatigueBecause the system handles wire placement for you, every pickup follows the same winding pattern.A More Automated and User-Friendly WorkflowManual wire guiding requires constant focus. However, it also introduces variation between pickups. TRAVERSE 2.0 removes this problem by guiding the wire automatically.As a result, you can:Wind longer sessions without fatigueReduce wire breaks caused by uneven tensionRepeat the same pickup design with confidenceFocus on tone design instead of hand movementsThis brings the MojoTone winding experience closer to the ease of use found in fully automated CNC pickup winding systems.Automatic Tension Control You Can TrustWire tension strongly affects pickup quality. TRAVERSE 2.0 actively measures and adjusts tension in real time using a precision sensor mounted on the guide arm.Key tension features include:One gram tension resolutionAdjustable tension up to approximately 35 to 40 grams, depending on wire gaugeSupport for pickup wire from 38 AWG to 45 AWGConstant tension or adjustable tension rampsAutomatic stop when tension leaves safe limitsBecause tension remains stable, coils stay clean and wire breakage drops significantly.Programmable Winding ModesDifferent winding styles shape both tone and coil structure. TRAVERSE 2.0 gives you direct control over these choices.Available winding modes:Constant Mode for an even fill factor across the entire coilTable or Pattern Mode with up to six sections and custom turns per sectionScatter Mode for controlled variation and a more organic coilEmulate Mode for manual-style winding that you can record and repeatThese modes let you experiment freely while keeping full repeatability.Software and Live Monitoring ToolsTRAVERSE 2.0 supports daily production with clear software tools and real-time feedback.The system provides:A pickup calculator for estimating turns and coil dimensionsA built-in pickup library with common guitar and bass modelsStorage for up to 59 winding programsWi-Fi connectivity for project transfer and backupWireless software and firmware updatesLive display of turns, layers, fill factor, remaining time, and wire tensionBecause you see all data while winding, you can adjust settings immediately.Precision, Safety, and ReliabilityTRAVERSE 2.0 protects both your pickups and your wire during winding.Safety and precision features include:Automatic turns-per-layer calculationAdjustable flange protection using the Delta parameterA homing sensor for repeatable starting positionLive offset correction during windingAutomatic shutdown if wire tension becomes unsafeThese features help you avoid damaged bobbins and wasted wire.Who TRAVERSE 2.0 Is ForTRAVERSE 2.0 works best for MojoTone users who want more control and consistency without switching machines.This upgrade suits:Boutique pickup buildersSmall production workshopsBuilders who wind the same models regularlyExperienced winders who want less fatigueNew builders who want a more guided workflowBecause TRAVERSE 2.0 reduces manual input, it also lowers the risk of winding mistakes.Maintenance and Optional AccessoriesTRAVERSE 2.0 requires very little maintenance.Recommended care includes:Regular lubrication of felts and bearingsAnnual greasing of the guide arm driveAn optional MojoTone mounting plate is available. It supports bobbins with protruding magnets or base eyelets and fits 99.9 percent of commercial pickup bobbins. This accessory is sold separately.Why Choose TRAVERSE 2.0 for MojoToneTRAVERSE 2.0 upgrades your MojoTone winder with CNC-assisted features, improves ease of use, and increases repeatability. It reduces manual errors and wire breaks while keeping your current machine. As a result, it offers an ideal balance between manual winding and fully automated pickup winding systems.
