Double spooling line

German cable system specialist KFM Kabelmaschinenfabrik Müller has developed a fully automatic, double-spooling line for winding, packing and palletting cable reels. The double-winding system is said to significantly increase the rate of output of coiled reels. The installation is designed in modules that can be adapted to the each customer’s particular requirements. These include a new TW 800 payoff – suitable for drums with flange diameter of 300mm to 500mm – programmed to automatically pick up and deliver each drum. The system operator just has to connect the ends of the cables. The heart of the installation is a TS 500/300 2-reel winder. The system is designed to deal with different sizes of reels quickly and easily. Changing the setup of the complete line takes about 10 minutes. Up to 12 empty reels are manually placed on a special chain on a table; from there they are collected individually and set down onto the winding axis by a pick-and-place unit. A PTB-certified gaugeable cable-length measuring system, various monitoring instruments, an accumulator and a laying unit supervise the winding. The cable is automatically fixed onto the core of the reel.

Defective cable will be detected by the monitoring instruments, automatically cut and taken out of the system. The cable is wound according to the programmed length, fixed and packed in stretch foil. Packing is done at a separate stage in the system. The last position of the line is the fully automatic programmable palletiser, designed to cope with any combination of spool and pallet size.
