Payoffs, take-ups and winding

Perfect winding with Roblon precision take-ups The Roblon take-ups offer precision winding. When fitted with a precision unit for winding of round and rectangular materials they ensure perfectly wound reels. The take-up is ideal for production of cables sensitive to indents and pressure from overlapping cable layers on the reels. When the reel is traversing, the sensitive die holder automatically controls the traversing speed in order to obtain a correct position of the dies. A sensor detects the flanges of the reel and changes traversing direction when the dies reach the flanges. This means no settings of end stops even when changing reel size. During operation the lifting arms adjust the horizontal position of the drum in order to maintain a constant winding point. The traversing reel and automatic height adjustment have very little influence on the product. The take-up winder operates with a constant tensile force and is easily integrated into new or existing production lines. At this year’s wire Southeast Asia, Roblon will present its range of industrial fibres and cable machines.
