Yarn servers, binders and precision winding Roblon is a manufacturer of cable making equipment, specialising in yarn severs, binders and precision winding equipment. These products are mainly designed for the fibre optic cable industry. diameter calculation and optionally can be equipped with active tension control for greater precision and logging of the payoff tension.

The tension control is accurate and constant, regardless of bobbin diameter and binder rotation speed, which is necessary in order to avoid damaging the optical fibre in the process. Roblon’s precision winding equipment includes a precision take-up and a precision coiling unit, which eliminates the need for manual hand guiding of cables during the take-up process. This results in the cable being positioned perfectly side by side, without major gaps or cable crossings. The precision take-up and precision coiling unit are fully automatic and eliminate many safety issues while reducing the need for expensive labour resources. In addition to the yarn servers, binders and precision winding equipment, Roblon offers other cable manufacturing equipment, such as multi payoffs, fibre binders, tape binders and payoffs, take ups, payoffs, caterpillars and dancers.

The single and cross binders allow for single and dual-end yarn binding with the ability to operate from one to four yarns simultaneously, fixing the SZ strand in one binding point. The combination of balancing of the binder head and centring of the yarn package enables high binding speed with minimal vibrations.

The company’s yarn servers are equipped to handle a variety of strength members, such as GRP, aramid yarns and glass yarns, in flat, oval or round versions, as well as rigid or flexible. The yarn servers are able to control the payoff tension individually using hysteresis brakes and bobbin
