100K gantry systems for reels Tulsa Power Inc has recently introduced its new line of 100K gantry systems. The units are offered in both payoff and take-up configurations. Reel capacities range from 2,175mm to 4,350mm flange diameter, reel widths to 4,572mm and maximum reel weights to 100,000lb. The entire structure offers easy loading and unloading of reels with true walk through capabilities. The telescoping super structure’s portal design conforms to the size of reel, to minimise floor space requirements, and each system traverses on rails to offer material payout or take-up with no fleeting angle.

Electromechanical drives are utilised to allow for up/down and in/ out manipulation of the main frame during reel load and unload sequences. Main drive systems are engineered to customers’ specifications and are complemented with a full-colour operator touch screen interface, used to communicate parameters used by the operator in relation to the product being run, the reel being used, display status, position and fault alarms of the unit. Tulsa Power Inc is among leading manufacturers of wire and cable handling equipment producing a broad offering of shafted and shaftless payoffs and take-ups, capstans, accumulators, re-spoolers, coilers, eccentric and concentric taping systems and measuring systems, and specialises in custom designed equipment to meet exacting customer requirements.
