Computerised traverse winding system
screw driven servo drive following the encoded signal of the rotary motion spindle RPM.
All traverse adjustment settings are accessed through panel view touch screen with Smartwinders™ software.
Independent Machine Company has developed a new computerised traverse winding system for the wire industry.
The panel view has recipe storage for up to 32 different wire sizes and winding patterns once they are determined. rewind tension at each position is speed controlled through the exclusive IMC dancer/tension controller assembly with a 25:1 tension range and diameter calculation. This system can provide precise, programmable tension throughout all operating parameters. Independent Machine Company custom designs and manufactures a complete line of web processing machinery for a broad range of industries for production and dev- elopment applications.

The four-computerised traverse winder Smartwinder-XL™ pos- itions with closed loop tension control, operates inline with an existing process for flat wire at speeds up to 1,000FPM. The spools move under the fixed input of the material to eliminate skewing and to ensure the wire maintains its lateral position from the process to the spools. All four positions are mounted in one common aluminium frame but are four individual machines each offset to the other two inches. computerised microprocessor-based electronic traverse for pitch, stroke length and end dwell for level winding. The lateral motion of the traverse assembly is actuated by a ball Each ition Smartwinder-XL™ pos- has a
