7lb to 800lb to accommodate a wide range of materials from hair-thin fibre to heavy gauge cable and rope. The RG drive shaft is smooth; there are no threads where debris may be trapped and cause clogs or jams. This also means that if line tension is increased beyond the Uhing drive’s thrust capability the unit will simply slip, instead of churning and grinding like a screw. The Amacoil/Uhing RG traverse wind- ing drive features automatic reversal at the spool flanges regardless of the rotational direction or speed of the shaft. Length of travel is increased or decreased using manually set end stops. Design engineers and MRO personnel seeking simplified spooling set-ups will find the RG drive eliminates electronics and programming and has low maintenance requirements (light lubrication of the shaft once per month). Amacoil supplies Uhing traverse winding drives separately or in custom fabricated assemblies including shaft and end supports. As the exclusive North American distributor for Uhing, Amacoil provides sales, technical support, service/repairs and parts. Anhui Hengzheng Technology Co Ltd specialises in producing drawing machines, for various metal wires, and twist bunching machines especially for fine wire drawing machines. The company has ISO9001: 2000 quality system approval. Anhui Hengzheng Technology now offers various drawing machines and twist bunching machines, all machines subject to final inspection to national standards before delivery. The company can develop any new model according to the customer’s individual needs. The product range covers drawing machines from 3mm to 0.012mm in outlet diameter for various steel wires and non-ferrous wires, accompanied with annealing machines, and also twist bunching machines from 300mm Amacoil – USA Fax : +1 610 485 2357 Email : amacoil@amacoil.com Website : www.amacoil.com Anhui Hengzheng Tech Co Ltd Booth: China Booth

A belt and pulley are used to link the Uhing RG winding traverse to the spool drive motor eliminating the need for a second motor. Additionally, because of the Uhing drive’s adjustable pitch feature, the linear motion and speed of the traverse remain automatically synchronised with spool rotation. No gear reduction or electronic controls are needed regardless of how fast or slow the spool rotates or in what direction. If a thinner or thicker wire is spooled, the linear pitch of the drive is quickly and easily changed by hand using a control lever on the face of the traverse. Available in seventeen sizes, the RG drive meets thrust requirements from
