CA 2049558

A device for aligning superconductor filaments to form a filament layer includes a backboard and a number of motor-driven supply spools. Each of the supply spools is rotatably mounted on the backboard, and each of the supply spools holds one end of an individual superconductor filament. The opposite ends of the filaments are attached to a single rotatable wire take-up spool. Accordingly, the wire take-up spool can be rotated to transfer the filaments from the respective supply spools to the take-up spool. The device of the present invention also includes a combiner board which is mounted on the backboard normal to the backboard between the supply spools and the wire take-up spool. The combiner board receives each of the superconductor filaments as the filaments are transferred from the respective supply spools to the take-up spool to guide the filaments into a layer of aligned superconductor filaments. Additionally, each supply spool has a tension controller individually associated with the respective supply spool. Each of the tension controllers engages the superconductor filament that is associated with the respective supply spool and establishes a speed of rotation for the associated supply spool motor such that it matches the speed of the take-up spool. In addition, the predetermined angle of pivot arm component of the tension controller establishes a predetermined tension of the respective filament.
