pay-offs, take-ups and winding systems

Making it simple . . . Spanish company Electrorrec, founded in 1973, specialises in the supply of machines for the wire and cable industries and is well positioned to offer pay-offs, take-ups, spoolers, winding systems and handling equipment. The motorised rotary pay-off DRM-S is one of the latest developments and has been designed to feed a large variety of machinery due to its simple and efficient synchronisation system. A pneumatically operated dancer arm and a potentiotemer synchronise the pay-off and production line speeds automatically. The floor mounted design and the electrical cabinet on the machine’s frame simplifies its installation. In addition, it runs clockwise or anticlockwise depending on customers’ requirements and any kind of coil can be loaded on the clockwise or anti-clockwise spooling system. The mechanically operated expanding bore, consisting of three sectors at 120ºC that fit the inner diameter of the coil, covers a range of 430-620mm. These sectors are equipped with rolling devices on sliding guides.

Another significant feature is the three storage arms of the last wrap (the wire is guided through pulleys) to avoid crossings and knots. The machine is available in different sizes depending on material, wire dia- meter, pay-off speed and coil weight and measures. The pneumatic detach- able spool CDN has a strong frame because of its heavy steel construction.

The retractable drum has four hinged sections to make it easy for the extraction of the previous strapped material. The disassembly and re-assembly of the spool is pneumatically operated and the compressed air is supplied by means of swift fastenings allocated under the upper flange. The spool is equipped with a mechanical safety

Fully automatic take-up The MGS Group manufactures an 18" fully automatic, single or dual take-up for on-line or off-line packaging. The take-up is suitable for use with popular packaging sizes of products such as THHN, NMB, building wires, category, coaxial cable, tubing, hose and optical fibre cable (round or flat cables). The take-up loads empty reels, starts the product on the reel, winds, stops at length, cuts, wraps and unloads the completed packages, all automatically. The two take-up spindles are precision pintle-type traversing reel style, to provide a superior wind on round and flat products. Reels are loaded, wound, unloaded and stacked all in the vertical orientation, eliminating the need for complicated mechanisms to ‘flip-flop’ the reels into and out of a horizontal winding position. The cable transfer process is gentle on the product, and the take-up stops, automatically cuts, and transfers to the next reel.

New concept from Domeks Makine D omeks Makine has developed a new fully automatic spooling line with a 2,000mm driven pay-off, horizontal type motor controlled accumulator, spool feeding conveyor and spooling and stretching head. The Reelmatik 350 Automatic spooling line is a new concept and has been produced for flat and round type cables, spooling 50 or 100 metres long with up to four spools per minute line speed. Available outer spool size diameter ranges from 160mm-350mm with an inner diameter range of 70mm- 120mm. Cable diameter ranges from 4mm-12mm. The new machines main advantage is that the stretch wrapping and spool winding is in the same head, allowing excellent stretch wrapping quality and good fixing of the end of the cable.

The take-up will run all types of reels, with a diameter range of 10"- 18" (250mm-450mm). The system can be set up to run on- or off-line, or both, and can also work with multiple extrusion lines. A positive automatic stretch wrap applicator is provided at each winding station, and the starting end of the wrap is positively pinched under the end of the product just prior to the end of the winding cycle. A range of additional features can

be integrated into the automatic functioning of the line, including label applicators applying labels under the shrink wrap and/or on the reel flange, ink jet sequential length marking, lump and neck down, spark test and integration into the factory production system.
