New dual 50" shaftless take-up

Lloyd & Bouvier is offering a new 50" shaftless dual reel take-up design. Take-up consists of two individual 50" welded plate frames bolted together, with common traverse mounted on dual linear bearings, and a continuous belt drive activated with a servo motor. A clamp and pulley system can be incorporated into the traverse system to direct and hold the wire during crossover.

Operator controls are mounted on both sides and centre of the frame for easy access. Pintles and drive rotors are provided and customised to individual customer requirements. The shaftless dual reel design provided by Lloyd & Bouvier offers a safe and efficient alternative to the older shaft style dual reel take-ups, eliminating operator handling of heavy shafts and fighting with damaged locking collars when loading and unloading reels.

Is the Inter-8 weave cable for you? Is your signal susceptible to cross-talk? Have you sampled Magnetic Shield Corporation’s Inter-8® weave cable which provides substantial improvement over conventional “twisted pair” by reducing electromagnetic radiation, cross-talk, and pickup of external noise? There are four types to choose from – with or without high temperature insulation or low-frequency braided shielding. Take-up accepts reel diameters from 50" to 24" and reel widths from 40" to 20". Reel lifting is accomplished through pneumatically loaded cylinders to lift reels up to 5,000lb. Gate arm positioning for various reel widths is accomplished through an AC gear motor with automatic centring via Acme threaded rod activation. Take-up is powered by a 10 HP AC motor with an in-line reducer to provide maximum torque. A NEMA panel is provided, housing the 10 HP AC Vector main drive and all related electrical components.
