31 March-04 April
Customers who visit the booth will be able to
see the fully digital Robobina, a totally automatic
respooling line for welding wire, designed to run
solid and tubular wire on plastic spools, fibre
spools as well as on wire baskets.
The Robobina is one of the most advanced
automated respooling lines and is equipped
with Gimax’s patented system to adapt
automatically to any tolerances in the wire
diameter when precision layer winding onto
wire baskets or plastic spools. The Robobina
can run at speeds in excess of 35 metres per
second 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 show – the Gimax
line to coil wire into ‘no twist’ drums has been
updated and made much more compact (the
dancer and electrical cabinet have now been
incorporated within the machine itself making
for an extremely compact unit), but the main
feature is the line speed. The drum packer is
capable of running with MIG at a speed of
30 metres/second and can also reach high
speeds with stainless steel (16 to 20 metres/
second), tubular and aluminium wire.
The line can also be equipped with a video
system to monitor main parts of the line
(including the interior of the drum while
coiling is in progress).
The Polidigital will also be present in two
examples. A new ‘compact’ version of the fully
digital semi-automatic respooler which has a
greatly reduced footprint, and also the ‘coil’
version, updated and redesigned to handle
most types and sizes of spools/coils and
wire. This machine represents the maximum
in flexibility that the market can offer, with a
capability of running 0.5 up to 45-50kg spools
of steel wire, as well as spoolless coils and
is capable of handling wire with diameters
ranging from 0.6 up to 5mm.
Gimax will also have details about the new fully
automatic spooler for small 1kg (2lb) spools.
This new line is destined to be launched onto
the market towards the middle of 2008.
