Gauder second hand machines: Creating solutions together

production line, used to assemble fibre optic or small conductors. Each reel was secured between pintles in a cast cradle and was driven by a brand new servo-motor. A photocell was installed to monitor the amount of conductor on each bobbin. Each cradle was equipped with a dancer to maintain an accurate tension in the conductor. Tension on each dancer was controlled by a brand new servo-motor. A load cell, mounted on a return wheel of the dancer, monitored the tension value. Another photocell was installed to monitor the position of the dancer. The position of the dancer acted on the bobbin speed to maintain a constant tension.
