PS Costruzioni Meccaniche is a worldwide
company, designing and manufacturing
cable packaging, rewinding lines, payoff
and take-up stands.
The company produces two types of
PS payoff and take-up stand.
The portal type is available in various
models, to suit the dimensions of the reels
used.
It is normally used for heavy reels, with
diameters from 1,600mm to 3,000mm.
The reels are lifted using motor gearboxes,
while the lifting and closure of the pintles
uses a motor gearbox with an electrical
and mechanical torque limiter.
Portal payoffs are housed on tracks and
have a lateral movement, which facilitates
the lifting operations. The payoff can
also work as a wire guide. It is suitable
for smaller reels (diameters from 400mm
to 1,250mm).
The cantilever type features hydraulic
pistons for easy reel lifting while the
closure of the pintles can be either
pneumatic or hydraulic. Both the portal
and the cantilever type are equipped with
AC winding/unwinding motors.
