Payoffs, take-ups and winding A lmost every feature of a leading brand of wire pay-off is described as “adjustable” or “selectable.” The machinery maker claims readiness to establish and accommodate them all.

Likewise committed to the distortion- free transfer of wire, suppliers of take-up and winding equipment are no less alert to the call for flexibility. In a widening universe of wire types and sizes, of new rugged and delicate and exotic materials, they know that demand grows apace for machines that do it all.

The units offer vertical or horizontal configuration, forward or reverse motion; they also are said to adapt to the various handling requirements of heavy, medium and fine wire of virtually any metal content. For every coil, spool, reel, bundle and pancake, there is an ideal payout method, path and resistance level.
