Tulsa Power
Booth 1840
Tulsa Power has released a new line of high
performancecoilers. Theautomaticcut and
transfer (ACT) series of coilers incorporates
a dual spindle turret winder, designed for
winding stranded, flexible wire and cable
from 18 AWG to 4/0 inline in an extrusion
process, or coupled with other ancillary
devices on a rewind application. The
addition of a payoff, dancer/accumulator,
gauging and spark test allow for a complete
rewind line, or can be used without the
payoff for extrusion applications.
The systems can coil or spool as a standard
(coiling heads are an option). The fully
automatic system has a cut and transfer
feature that, upon receiving a signal from
the total length counter, quickly clamps,
cuts and transfers the product from full reel
to empty reel without process interruptions.
An ultrasonic dancer locates the position
of the product and assures a smooth
functioning of tension controlled winding
for even the most sensitive products.
The ACT series coilers can reduce labor by
utilizing one operator for several extrusion
lines. Special control features and a touch
screen interface allow convenient operator
controls with near perfect switchover
reliability at high speeds. The automatic
design avoids product from accumulating
on the floor, as required on manual
switch-over machines, saving the operator
time, minimizing scrap rates, improving wind
appearance and product quality while
improving safety.
