Perfect winding with precision take-ups

Roblon take-ups offer precision winding at high speed (up to 300m/min) and can be used directly in the production line or as part of a rewinding line. Fitted with a precision unit for winding of round, rectangular and figure-8 materials they ensure perfectly wound reels.

The take-ups are ideal for winding of wires, cables and plastic and steel tubes. The perfect positioning of material means longer lengths per reel and higher pay off speed of material during installation/use. When the reel is traversing, the sensitive die holder automatically controls the traversing speed in order to obtain a correct posi- tion of the dies. A sensor detects the flanges of the reel

and changes traversing direction when the dies reach the flanges. This means no settings of end stops, even when changing reel size. During operation the lifting arms are adjusting the horizontal position of the drum in order to maintain a constant winding point. The traversing reel and the automatic height adjustment have very little influence on the product. The take-ups operate with a constant tensile force and the fixed winding point ensures no strain on the product. Roblon precision take-ups are easily integrated into new or existing production lines and can be controlled by the line control. Because the take-ups are 100 per cent automatic the need to manually monitor the winding is eliminated just as there are no health and safety issues associated with guiding the cables to the reel. Furthermore, Roblon precision take-ups can be supplied with fencing according to machine directive 2006/42/EC. The Roblon precision take-ups can wind materials ranging from Ø2-20mm and are supplied with easily exchangeable pulleys for different product diameters.
