I would suggest hitting up "speaker coil winding" on YouTube if you think this requires robotics. Sometimes the simplest thing is "pay a human $8/hour". You don't even need to spend millions on a litho node to make it work.
- kazinator 6y agoThis is about miniature speakers, like in ear-buds headphones, not Celestions for your guitar cabinet.
- willis936 6y agoYes but if you want a million an hour, that’s $8 million/hour. Suddenly photolithography seems incredibly cheap.
- zaarn 6y agoDoes it take an hour to wind a coil? Probably not. At worst, a minute for an experienced worker. That gets you to 130'000 $ per hour and 0.13$ human cost per device. Though a minute is very optimistic, you don't need that many windings, if you get it down to 10 seconds, which is a lot of time to wind a coil, you pay 22'000$ and 0.02$ per product. That's fairly cheap and if a robot can do it for less becomes questionable because robots need a lot of maintenance and cost a lot.
- willis936 6y agoWhat if you want 100 billion an hour?
- regularfry 6y agoThen you're screwed no matter what process you use. 100 billion 1 gramme devices is 100,000 tonnes. Per hour. For reference, that's about half the discharge rate of the Rio Grande.
