Is the Inter-8
weave cable
for you?
Is your signal susceptible to cross-talk?
Have you sampled Magnetic Shield
Corporation’s Inter-8® weave
cable which provides substantial
improvement over conventional
“twisted pair” by reducing
electromagnetic radiation, cross-talk,
and pickup of external noise?
There are four types to choose from
– with or without high temperature
insulation or low-frequency braided
shielding.

Lloyd & Bouvier is offering a
new 50" shaftless dual reel
take-up design.
Take-up consists of two
individual 50" welded plate
frames bolted together, with
common traverse mounted
on dual linear bearings,
and a continuous belt drive
activated with a servo
motor.
A clamp and pulley system
can be incorporated into
the traverse system to direct
and hold the wire during
crossover.
Take-up accepts reel diameters from
50" to 24" and reel widths from 40" to
20". Reel lifting is accomplished through
pneumatically loaded cylinders to lift
reels up to 5,000lb.
Gate arm positioning for various reel
widths is accomplished through an AC
gear motor with automatic centring via
Acme threaded rod activation. Take-up
is powered by a 10 HP AC motor with
an in-line reducer to provide maximum
torque.
A NEMA panel is provided, housing
the 10 HP AC Vector main drive and all
related electrical components.
Operator controls are mounted on both sides and centre of the frame for easy
access. Pintles and drive rotors are provided and customised to individual customer
requirements.
The shaftless dual reel design provided by Lloyd & Bouvier offers a safe and efficient
alternative to the older shaft style dual reel take-ups, eliminating operator handling of
heavy shafts and fighting with damaged locking collars when loading and unloading
reels.
