Automation for the future
Engineering Future Automazione
Flessibile Srl (EFAF) is experienced in
automation and automatic machinery,
with a broad range of coiling machines,
both fully and semi-automatic.
The automatic series includes the
Mautomatic 260 Evolution, 350, 400,
500, 600 and 600/R for bare copper
cable, covering sizes from 0.5mm2 to
120mm2 and with a choice of packaging.
The 350 range has been increased
to handle 0.5mm2 up to 10mm2 for a
single conductor and up to 10.6mm2
for a multi-conductor and is capable
of winding flat cable to different
dimensions. Productivity is around 5.5 x
100m coils per minute.
The line is designed to be flexible, with a
choice of two inner diameters and many
options for packaging including 25m,
50m or 100m lengths.
The semi-automatic MAC series has
been extended with a smaller coiler,
the MAC260. This coiler is designed for
companies requiring smaller packs and
lower volume.
One possible composition of this line
consists of flyer payoff, cable tensioning
device, instruments to check the cable
quality, the coiler MAC 260 and, to pack
the coil, either a semi-automatic or
automatic strapping machine, and at
the end a simple thermo-shrinking oven.
This would be capable of handling cable
from 0.5mm2 to 6mm2, at speeds of up
to 2.5 x 100m coils per minute.
Other coilers in the MAC series are
MAC400 and MAC500 for cable up to a
diameter of 17mm and a cross section
of 35mm2. Companies needing to pack
cable in coil and spool may choose the
B-MAC series, designed to package
many different types of cables in coils
and spools.
The machines for spools are MAB350
and MAB630. The range of cable
starts from 1mm2 up to 25mm 2, and
packaging can be done with stretch
film, auto-gluing film or LPDE foil.
Series AVP and AVPD address the need
to pack the cable directly onto reels
with dimensions from 400mm up to
1,250mm in fully automatic mode, or up
to 1,600mm in semi-automatic mode.
The cable range for this type of
machine is 1mm2 up to 95mm2, and the
packaging options are the same as with
the MAB spooling line series.
An automatic palletising line can be
installed with either type of line.

of good and bad parts. A virtually
unlimited number of parameter sets is
available; remote control via the internet
offers the possibility to supervise or to
support from anywhere in the world.
With this portfolio of instruments and
a complete range of accessories, the
