Winding at the double PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl has an improved double-head fully automatic spool winding line. The enhanced features are most noticeable in regard to the restart time between the wound and the next spool. While the first spooling head is winding the cable, the second head has completed the winding cycle thus enabling the final spool to automatically proceed to the palletising area. The PS 200/6/B enables customers to double a normal machine output by working the two winding heads at the same time.

The PS 200/6/B spool winding line m m

This machine can accommodate approximately 200 cardboard, aluminium, plastic, plywood or wooden spools located in two stores. The spools range from a flange outer diameter of 100mm (3.94") up to 200mm (7.88") and flange width from 50mm (1.97") up to 190mm (7.49"). The PS 200/6/B process specifications are as follows: Bore centring to start the winding operation • Cable layer on layer winding • Cable measuring accuracy ±0.1% • Spark tester cable insulation tests • Pneumatic and fast cable cutting • End product packaging by polyethylene film • Division between end products with insulation • defects and correct end products Labelling • Cartesian axis palletiser • Pallet wrapping • The machine can produce more than 4 x 100m spools at 100 metres per minute. The cable sections can vary from 0.65 up to 6.53mm 2 (AWG from 19 up to 9). The wire guide uses CNC digital technology, and CNC software helps to obtain the best winding results. An in-line cable diameter detector can be included. It can correct any cable diameter modification in real time.
