AIM Inc
Booth 2016
AIM will be presenting its newest
innovation in wire bending, the ‘Super
Bender,’ upgraded and updated 2D
and 3D CNC wire bending solutions,
single and double bending head
machines with Fanuc robotics integra-
tion and new automated T-welding
systems. Also, completely automated
work cell solutions that take wire from
coil, form, weld and systematically
arrange the finished parts.
In all instances, wire can be fed directly
from a coil, straightened, bent and
cut using a software package that
provides flexibility and simplicity in
programming and is offered in all
‘universal languages.’

A belt and pulley are used to link the
Uhing RG winding traverse to the
spool drive motor eliminating the need
for a second motor.
Additionally, because of the Uhing
drive’s adjustable pitch feature, the
linear motion and speed of the traverse
remain automatically synchronised
with spool rotation. No gear reduction
or electronic controls are needed
regardless of how fast or slow the
spool rotates or in what direction.
If a thinner or thicker wire is spooled,
the linear pitch of the drive is quickly
and easily changed by hand using a
control lever on the face of the
traverse.
Available in seventeen sizes, the RG
drive meets thrust requirements from
7lb to 800lb to accommodate a wide
range of materials from hair-thin fibre
to heavy gauge cable and rope. The
RG drive shaft is smooth; there are no
threads where debris may be trapped
and cause clogs or jams.
This also means that if line tension is
increased beyond the Uhing drive’s
thrust capability the unit will simply
slip, instead of churning and grinding
like a screw.
The Amacoil/Uhing RG traverse wind-
ing drive features automatic reversal
at the spool flanges regardless of the
rotational direction or speed of the
shaft. Length of travel is increased or
decreased using manually set end
stops.
Design engineers and MRO personnel
seeking simplified spooling set-ups
will find the RG drive eliminates
electronics and programming and
has low maintenance requirements
(light lubrication of the shaft once
per month).
Amacoil supplies Uhing traverse
winding drives separately or in custom
fabricated assemblies including shaft
and end supports. As the exclusive
North American distributor for Uhing,
Amacoil provides sales, technical
support, service/repairs and parts.
