Roblon’s reversible
rewinder
The RW800-680 rewinder from
Roblon, Denmark, is designed for
the rewinding of a wide range of
round, oval or square products.
The rewinder line consists of a
pay-off, a dancer and a take-up.
The rewinding can be performed in
connection with a large number of
tests of the cable or for a rewind
to customers’ reels, where a
specific length must be rewound.
A range of test and measurement
equipment can be connected to the
line, including length measuring,
diameter control, lump detection,
spark test or shortening. Printing
on the cable and label printing can
also be carried out.
The full reel is mounted on the pay-
off and the line is threaded through
the dancer, instruments, cable lock
and traverse unit, towards the reel
on the take-up.
Before starting the line the product
parameters are typed in using the
operator panel, and the traverse is
electronically controlled between
the flanges on the reel. The width of
the reel is automatically determined.
The line can be reversed if
necessary, eg due to an error, to run
shorter cables lengths back onto
the pay-off.
