Wire processing specialist, Meltech
Engineering Ltd announces the new MT-DR range of automated
dual reel take-up machines for continuous
production of data communications and LAN
cables, general wiring
and heat shrink and wire tubing applications. The MT-DR
range offers winding speeds up to 1,500 metre per minute.
Based
on the classic Biwater DR take-up machine design,
Meltech has re-engineered the machine and its control
system to give improved winding control, layering,
and speed and length control at point of changeover.
Available in drum sizes from 400mm to 1,600mm, the
MT-DR is a robust machine that can be readily integrated
within an existing wire production line.
Accurate winding
control lies at the heart of the flexibility of the
MT-DR range. Meltech's proprietary control technology
calculates the precise tensioning of the wire during
winding. The control system also features a selection
of manufacturer specific ‘recipes’ based
on winding pitch settings, drum sizes and optimum layering
patterns.
The Meltech dual reel take-up machines
are available in both semi and fully automated operation.
In semi-automated
mode the drum is manually loaded and unloaded. When
fully automated the drum is automatically loaded
and
unloaded. In addition, the MT-DR machines offers
a smooth upgrade path allowing higher capacity drums
to be accommodated to meet production requirements.
Meltech
also offers a full service and spares back-up service,
including spares, service and refurbishment
for original Biwater equipment.

dual reel take-up machines for continuous wire
