In the case of an error in layer respooling,
the machine will automatically stop and
reverse to where the error occurred. It will
then attempt respooling a set number of
times, or finish the spool randomly,
depending on what the machine has been
programmed to do.
The machine will automatically place an
empty spool on the machine, hook the wire
onto it and then start spooling.
Once terminated, the finished spool is
automatically discharged and the cycle
begins again – all at a speed in excess of
35m/sec. It can use different types of
spools (wire baskets, plastic or fibreboard),
with a short changeover time from one
format to another.
The user interface is simple and user-
friendly, featuring a large synoptic display
with touch-screen controls for all functions.
A LAN connection allows software updates
and PLC checks directly from Gimax
Engineering.
