Modular rewinding lines offer extending possibilities

Rewinding line from PS Costruzioni ▲ ▲

PS has developed and improved the design and production of its rewinding lines for quality and reliability. The PS Costruzioni range of rewinding lines includes a basic line, model 600-1000, for 2mm to 15mm diameter cables and a middle model 1650 –1650, suitable for 3mm to 25mm diameter cables. The largest model in the range, 2250-2250, is suitable for cables with a diameter of 8mm up to 60mm. A standard line consists of a payoff unit, spark tester, metre counter and take-up unit. As with all PS machines, PS rewinding lines have a modular structure, making it possible to buy a basic model, and then extend the machine by adding additional units as the user’s need arises. • Lump detector, for dimensional defects such as knots, swellings and shrinkage • Electric shears, capable of cutting cables of up to 35mm diameter • Integrated ink jet cable marking device, printing directly onto cable at a • maximum linear speed of 320m per minute Labelling machine, to print data such as reel length, cable type and bar codes • onto an adhesive label Technical specifications : Cable Reel Linear Model diameter diameter speed Rewinding line 600-1000 2 – 15mm 600 – 1,000 400m/min Rewinding line 1250-1250 3 – 20mm 600 – 1,250 400m/min Rewinding line 1650-1650 3 – 25mm 800 – 1,650 400m/min Rewinding line 2000-2000 5 – 45mm 1,000–2,000 130m/min Rewinding line 2250-2250 5 – 60mm 1,000– 2,250 130m/min PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl – Italy Fax : +39 03968 98769 Email : ps@pscostruzioni.com Website : www.pscostruzioni.com Available additional units include: Spark tester, for defects on the cable insulation
