Winding Machines

It's all over for mechanical traversing transmissions: M1 can now solve the winding problem!

Manufacturers and users of winding machines and rewinders are familiar with the problem: the bigger the roll becomes, the greater the danger that the rolls wound will tip over to one side, will run diagonally or that the material will be wound unevenly.

For instance, an experienced manufacturer of rewinders and winding machines intended to increase the roll diameter to half a metre on a machine for cutting and winding Velcro seals. Until now, these machines were equipped with a mechanical traversing transmission. However, this mechanism could no longer do justice to the demands of the larger roll diameter: the regular linear traversing led to such varied tensions at the turning points that it was not possible to wind a roll evenly. The particular conditions involved with the material (Velcro seals in narrow strips of up to 15 mm) made the arrangement even more difficult because the tension changed as the roll diameter increased.

These are problems that can only be solved with electronic control mechanisms. This winding machine is now controlled by 32 M1 motor controllers from zub machine control AG. The machine now pauses for a programmable period of time at the turning points, depending on the material being wound, the width of the strips and the current roll diameter. The result is perfectly "round" rolls.
