Winding Density

Winding Density is a tool developed in Java that's capable of calculating the winding density of cylindric textile coils based on the known parameters you specify. It also gives to the possibility to save and print test certificates.

No setup required, besides Java

As long as you have Java installed on your computer, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the program files to a custom location on the disk or copy them to a removable storage unit to directly run Winding Density on any PC by double-clicking the executable .jar file. It doesn't modify your system registry settings, create files on the hard drive without asking for your permission.

Simple GUI for calculating winding density

Concerning the interface, the utility adopts a large window that shows all available options in a neatly structured layout, where you can get started by filling in missing information.
It's possible to enter the supplier, customer, date, quality, checker, bill number, shipping note number and custom notes, along with the total coil weight, coil diameter, middle and outer coil diameter, core diameter, coil height, outer coil height, along with the 10mm height from the outside.
The winding density is then calculated with the click of a button and its value is expressed in g/l. This information can be printed or saved to PDF format by specifying the output directory and file name. Moreover, you can clear all fields to restart the entire task from scratch, as well as switch to another UI language.

Evaluation and conclusion

It calculated data fast in our tests while remaining light on system resources consumption, running on low CPU and memory. No error messages were displayed and it didn't freeze or crash.
Although it doesn't have a particularly rich set of features, Winding Density delivers a simple method for calculating winding density and printing test certificates.
