Payoffs, take-ups and winding

Payoffs, take-ups and winding As a major supplier to the industry since the early 1960s, Techna offers a comprehensive range of payoffs, take-ups and winding equipment, from small, stand-alone units for the one-man operator handling just a few kg on small diameter coils, to cutting-edge technology for handling weights of up to 6,000kg and reel sizes up to 2,600mm Ø, with a series of manual, semi-automated and fully automated machinery. The Mobac – Techna range includes single and multiple payoff frames, flyers for insertion into bobbins, flyers with tension control, high-speed flyer payoffs, coil payoffs, payoff baskets, tangential and driven-tangential payoffs, spoolers, winders, and dancer accumulators, together with a comprehensive range of accessories and spares.

❍ ❍ Products from Techna’s range

Flyers are available with various braking systems such as rolling friction braking, centrifugally controlled braking, combined rolling friction and friction braking, magnetic particle brakes and hysteresis brakes which are silent and operate without any physical wear (braking forces are created by magnetic fields, not friction), making them suitable for use in payoff flyers due to their smooth torque, regardless of any rpm variations. An extensive product range, for varying spool sizes and weights, provides flexibility and choice from basic, low-cost, to highly complex systems. The Meccanica Nicoletti – Techna range provides a comprehensive choice of equipment covering virtually every winding and unwinding requirement. Ranges include basic manual or motorised stands, bench or trolley-mounted units handling coils/reels of varying sizes and capacities from 400mm Ø and 30kg weight, to 800mm Ø and 100kg weight. For larger reels and coils, semi- and fully-automated equipment can handle coils from 1,000mm Ø and 700kg, and reels from 1,600mm Ø (2,000kg) up to 2,600mm Ø (6,000kg). Optional elements include cable measuring and cutting equipment, pump lift, cable towing equipment, variable speed drives, retractable coiling heads and other accessories designed to provide wide customer choice, from basic to sophisticated machine configurations. Complementing these products is a wide range of modular vertical storage racking that enables efficient utilisation of floor space and cable storage, from small diameter coils/reels of just a few kg, with up to five levels achieving bay heights of 5m, each accommodating up to 7,000kg (10,000kg special), and reel diameters up to 2,500mm.
