has
recently designed and manufactured a
new motorised double spooler, suitable
for the following cables:
•
Insulated
flexible
cables
and
multi-wire cables from 3mm to 30mm
•
Insulated
flexible
cables
and
multi-wire cables having a cross
section from 1.5mm
2
to 150mm
2
•
Flat cables from 5mm x 2.5mm to
20mm x 9mm with a cross section up
to 150mm
2
The machine can wind up several cable
lengths, according to the cable diameter
as well as the spool dimensions (for a
length up to 500m or more).
Maximum linear speed is up to 750m/min,
depending on the cable diameter and
size.
The spools range is:
•
Spool flange maximum diameter:
1,250mm
•
Spool flange minimum diameter:
500mm
• Spool maximum weight: 1,800kg
The main technical features include:
Pintles: Two pintles are closed hydraulically
whereas the other pintles are all motorised.
Spool loading/unloading system: With
the pintles at a fixed height, the loading/
unloading of the spool takes place by
means of a steel plate (platform), activated
by hydraulic cylinders.
Wire guide: A single automatic wire-guide
is placed in the upper part of this unit. It is
driven by a brushless motor in the digital
electrical axis with the take-up motor.
Thanks to this system, the quality of the
cable layer upon layer is excellent.
Hydraulic cutter and caterpillar: Both these
units are placed on a holder wire-cable
plate. As the pre-set length has been
reached, the cable gets automatically cut
and carried on to the empty spools.
Console and control cabinet: Containing all
instruments to operate either manually or
automatically; a PC colour touch screen to
easily read set parameters and a keyboard
to key in. The command electrical system is
made by PLC S7 controls.
This double spooler can process a wide
range of spools and cable diameters, is
easy to handle for the operator and is
capable of reaching a high production
speed (maximum of 750m/minute), and
can be used with rewinding lines, and
take ups in tandem with extrusion lines.
This unit has been designed to reduce
the operator’s work during the change of
the reel: Hook up the cable to the empty
spool and push start. At the end of the
winding operation the hydraulic shears,
which are positioned on the wire guide,
automatically cut the cable and are
positioned on the empty spool.
Thanks to the caterpillar the cable
automatically moves to a pre-selected
length, so that the operator can hook up
the cable to the empty spool and then
push start.
During the winding operation the
operator unloads, thanks to a hydraulic
platform, the finished spool and positions
a new empty one.
