the spool rotates or in what direction. If a thinner or thicker wire is spooled, the linear pitch of the drive is quickly and easily changed by hand using a control lever on the face of the traverse. Available in seventeen sizes, the RG drive meets thrust requirements from 7lb to 800lb to accommodate a wide range of materials from hair-thin fibre to heavy gauge cable and rope. The RG drive shaft is smooth; there are no threads where debris may be trapped and cause clogs or jams. This also means that if line tension is increased beyond the Uhing drive’s thrust capability the unit will simply slip, instead of churning and grinding like a screw. The Amacoil/Uhing RG traverse winding drive features automatic reversal at the spool flanges regardless of the rotational direction or speed of the shaft. Length of travel is increased or decreased using manually set end stops. Design engineers and MRO personnel seeking simplified spooling set-ups will find the RG drive eliminates electronics and programming and has low maintenance requirements (light lubrication of the shaft once per month).

Also, completely automated work cell solutions that take wire from coil, form, weld and systematically arrange the finished parts. In all instances, wire can be fed directly from a coil, straightened, bent and cut using a software package that provides flexibility and simplicity in programming and is offered in all ‘universal languages.’

AIM will be presenting its newest innovation in wire bending, the ‘Super Bender,’ upgraded and updated 2D and 3D CNC wire bending solutions, single and double bending head machines with Fanuc robotics integration and new automated T-welding systems.

A belt and pulley are used to link the Uhing RG winding traverse to the spool drive motor eliminating the need for a second motor. Additionally, because of the Uhing drive’s adjustable pitch feature, the linear motion and speed of the traverse remain automatically synchronized with spool rotation. No gear reduction or electronic controls are needed regardless of how fast or slow
