cantilever and pintle design for gross weights from 200kg to 10 tons. The machines are prepared to either be used with reels made of plastic, wood and steel or to create coreless coils by the means of collapsible reels. The common design base of these spoolers is the concept of a traversing spool and a fixed wire line. The traversing is computer controlled. The software provides special features to optimise the laying especially in the reversing points such as edge stop, angle offset and spike. For standard applications the software is self-optimising. The software controls the spool with highest precision, but it needs a precise wire guiding in addition. Fuhr has developed two guiding systems to cover the wide range of wires – one for strips and one for rectangular and special shapes. The total package is the clue to prime quality.

PRODUCERS of flat and shaped wires usually supply their products on reels. When it comes to delivery, the customer’s first impression is the optical appearance of the winding quality. is associated with a perfect product. Therefore, in today’s wire production the winding quality has gained a high level of importance. But not only these facts are important: A low quality of layer winding can indeed be of major impact on the product quality. When wires are confusedly wound on reels, it does also have a bad influence on quality aspects such as straightness, torsion and surface. Moreover, a tangled winding can result in difficulties or even wire breakage when customers unwind the material from the reels. As a producer of wire rolling mills, the Germany-based company Fuhr also has a long tradition in designing and building layer winding machines. A perfect layer-wise winding
