Gimax Group Srl
Booth 2226
Gimax will be exhibiting a selection of
its respooling machines and drum
packers.
Visitors to the booth will see the fully
digital Robobina, a totally automatic
respooling line for welding wire,
designed to run solid and tubular wire
on plastic or fibre spools as well as on
wire baskets.
With 18 years of history, the Robobina
is believed the most advanced auto-
mated respooling line available on the
market and can run at speeds in
excess of 35m/sec (6,900ft/min) and
does not require the presence of an
operator during normal operation (one
operator or supervisor can control up
to five machines).
The new model INF-4 drum packer will
be another highlight of the booth – the
Gimax line to coil wire into ‘no twist’
drums is among the most compact
machines on the market, but the main
feature is its line speed. The drum
packer is capable of running with MIG
welding wire at a speed of 30m/sec
(6,000ft/min). This same machine has
also been supplied to handle steel flux
cored wire, 5356 aluminium, stainless
steel and CuSi brazing wire. Drum
sizes can even reach the large
1,000kg/2,200lb drums.
The Polidigital will also be present in
two examples; the new compact
version of the fully digital semi-
automatic respooler with a greatly
reduced footprint, and also the ‘Coil’
version. The ‘Coil’ can handle almost
all types and sizes of spools, coils and
wire, and is said to represent the
maximum in flexibility that the market
can offer.
The new REV-1 will also be exhibited –
the new fully automated machine to
respool (random and precision layer)
wire onto small plastic spools. The
machine can produce two spools per
minute – the spools generally hold 1lb
of aluminium wire, or 2lb of steel wire.
The machine will be in operation during
the show for a full demonstration.
