PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl has launched an improved
double-head fully automatic spool winding line with faster
restart time between the wound and the next spool. While the
second spooling head is winding, the first head has completed
the winding cycle and the spool is moved to the palletising area.
This machine can accommodate 200 cardboard, aluminium,
plastic or wooden spools in two stores. The spools range from
a flange outer diameter of 100mm (3.94
"
) up to 200mm (7.88
"
)
and flange width from 50mm (1.97
"
) up to 190mm (7.49
"
).
The PS 200/6/B process specifications are as follows:
Bore centring to start the winding operation
•
Cable layer on layer winding
•
Cable measuring accuracy ±0.1%
•
Spark tester cable insulation tests
•
Fast, pneumatic cable cutting
•
End product packaging by polyethylene film
•
Division between faulty and correct products
•
Labelling
•
Cartesian axis palletiser
•
Pallet wrapping
•
The machine can produce 4 x 100m spools of 100 metres per
minute. The cable sections can vary from 0.65 up to 6.53mm
2
(AWG from 19 up to 9).
The wire guide comes with CNC digital technology, and special
CNC software helps to obtain perfect winding results. On
request, an in-line cable diameter detector can be included.
It can correct any cable diameter modification in real time.

Precision, stable processes and early
and effective failure detection are key
factors for productivity. With this in
mind, EW Menn, in partnership with
Brankamp, has combined EW Menn’s
push button die match with Brankamp’s
process monitoring expertise to create
ADM. ADM stands for adaptive die
match and describes a system that
electronically measures and evaluates
die match and corrects it automatically
while the machine is running, without
interrupting production and without
requiring the assistance of an operator.
Standard process monitoring takes place
simultaneously.
ADM is only available on EW Menn
machines in combination with Brankamp
process control systems.
EW Menn is also active in the field of
special applications, such as the warm
rolling system that allows heating of the
blanks just before feeding them into the
rolling dies.
Originally developed for aerospace
applications involving titanium and
highly special alloys this system allows a
higher degree of material displacement,
thereby enabling forming processes that
cannot be achieved without heating and
greatly extending the possibilities of the
flat die rolling process.
