Automatic spooler

Teurema’s automatic spooler, EVM is designed for the production of precision laid wire coils with spools with a capacity of up to 5 tons. This double automatic spooler is composed of two spool-working stations; the wire collection station and the wire strapping/unloading/loading station. It is complete with all necessary devices to ensure an automatic handling of the wire, the cutting and subsequent threading of the wire, and the securing of the wire tail. All these operations improve line efficiency, especially when operating with large diameter wires. The combination of these factors is said to guarantee a drastic reduction in the down times – often present during a spool changeover cycle. All parameters required for the for- mation of the pattern laid coil, as well as production information, are set on the spooler control pulpit.

The high tensile strength of 800 N/mm² allows automatic threading and avoids wire breakage; two important factors when used for unmanned operation at night. Its outstanding resistance to wire breakage as well as the high thermal and electrical capacity ensures a high degree of process stability, thus making this electrode suitable for speed cutting as well as for contour precision cutting. As with the other electrodes of the topas® plus family, topas® plus D allows a better exploitation of the performance potential of modern generators. A significant increase in performance can be achieved, even under unfavourable flushing conditions, and processing times can be considerably reduced. bedra – Germany Website : www.bedra.com
