wire 31 March-04 April

Customers who visit the booth will be able to see the fully digital Robobina, a totally automatic respooling line for welding wire, designed to run solid and tubular wire on plastic spools, fibre spools as well as on wire baskets. The Robobina is one of the most advanced automated respooling lines and is equipped with Gimax’s patented system to adapt automatically to any tolerances in the wire diameter when precision layer winding onto wire baskets or plastic spools. The Robobina can run at speeds in excess of 35 metres per second and does not require the presence of an operator during normal operation (one operator or supervisor can control up to five machines). The new model INF-4 drum packer will be another highlight of the show – the Gimax line to coil wire into ‘no twist’ drums has been updated and made much more compact (the dancer and electrical cabinet have now been incorporated within the machine itself making for an extremely compact unit), but the main feature is the line speed. The drum packer is capable of running with MIG at a speed of 30 metres/second and can also reach high speeds with stainless steel (16 to 20 metres/ second), tubular and aluminium wire.

The line can also be equipped with a video system to monitor main parts of the line (including the interior of the drum while coiling is in progress). The Polidigital will also be present in two examples. A new ‘compact’ version of the fully digital semi-automatic respooler which has a greatly reduced footprint, and also the ‘coil’ version, updated and redesigned to handle most types and sizes of spools/coils and wire. This machine represents the maximum in flexibility that the market can offer, with a capability of running 0.5 up to 45-50kg spools of steel wire, as well as spoolless coils and is capable of handling wire with diameters ranging from 0.6 up to 5mm. Gimax will also have details about the new fully automatic spooler for small 1kg (2lb) spools. This new line is destined to be launched onto the market towards the middle of 2008.
