Tulsa Power has launched the ACT coiler, a new line of Automatic
Cut and Transfer coiling equipment. This new coiler series has
generated tremendous interest not only in wire and cable
processes, but tubing and profile applications.
These new systems have the ability to spool or coil and are
fully automatic and highly reliable. The new technology and
“no nonsense” design appear to address customer-identified
weaknesses of other equipment offerings, namely “overly
engineered” systems and reliability issues.
This series of coilers is adaptable for the toughest wire and cable
application requiring accumulation, a contact dancer, hydraulic
cutting and on-line printing to the ultra-critical micro tubing
applications requiring non-contact, ultrasonic position control
for extremely low running tension.
The ease of operation and user friendly interface allow a single
operator to oversee multiple lines generating a labour savings
over previously used manual and semi-automatic systems.
Couple an ACT coiler with now available on-line packaging
equipment, ie multiple position twist-tie, stretch wrap, coil
counting and boxing, and the process becomes even more
automated and labour saving.
