Coiling with Collari Coil winder mod AU180SPE, static decoiler mod SV2 and inline lubricating system mod SLF01 from Collari provide a simple to use machine for winding of normal or coated ductile wires, annealed or zinc plated iron, copper or zinc aluminium wires up to 5mm diameter. The machine is equipped with electronic wire-guide pitch adjustment, simply by setting the desired pitch directly on the special keyboard. This system makes the machine extremely flexible for winding any diameter of wire with maximum precision. Winding stops when the desired number of coiled wire layers is reached. An automatic pneumatic system extracts the finished bounded coil from the winding drum and carries it out for easy removal. The coil winder is combined with Collari’s unwinder-static decoiler mod SV2, easily combined with all of Collari’s coil winder models and with other equipment. It can be adapted for using either big skeins, up to 1,000kg or special or standard internal baskets up to a maximum 1.5m height.

Team Meccanica Rewinding, spooling and coiling Team Meccanica has equipment for rewinding spools and coils of wire produced by any type of wire drawing machine. Spoolers can have horizontal or vertical axes, single or double spool supporting device and a manual or fully automatic handling system. They will carry a single size of spool or, for more flexibility, several sizes of spool within a preset range. Depending on the model, spool sizes range between 100mm and 3,000mm.

TeamMeccanica spoolers are of a box-type construction of welded steel sheets to give a sturdy frame not subject to vibration. The spools are supported by pneumatically or hydraulically operated retractable pintles, with a hydraulic safety lock- ing system to prevent the accidental release of pintles while running. The traversing system allows precise adjustment of the traversing width and pitch, even while in motion.

Rewinding, spooling and coiling equipment from ❍ Team Meccanica

Either an AC or DC motor can be used, with frequency control between 5kW and 135kW. Winding speed is up to 35m/s, synchronised with the wire drawing machine. The braking system is regenerative, with a pneumatic emergency brake, and allows fully automatic braking without wire breaks. Team Meccanica coilers are static or rotating, with vertical or horizontal (goose-neck conveyor type) axis, and will collect any type of continuously processed wire on tubular carriers. The coiling capstan is made of forged and induction-hardened steel. Various configurations can be adopted, according to the material and the production cycle, such as an additional ceramic coating for low-carbon wires, pattern laying device, drawing pass, coil compacting unit, or wire cooling by water circulation inside the capstan and die. Capstan sizes range between 300mm and 1,200mm. The motor can be AC or DC with frequency control between 5kW to 135kW. Winding speed can be up to 35m/s, synchronised with the connected wire drawing machine. As with the spooler, the braking system is regenerative, with a pneumatic emergency brake, and allows fully automatic braking without wire breaks. No special foundation work

The system is suitable for metal wires of 0.5 to 5mm diameter, and for speed supply up to about 7m/s. Coil winder, decoiler and inline ❍ lubricating units
