Spoolers and Coilers — Custom Spoolers, Coilers, Winders and Respoolers

Huestis Industrial's custom Spoolers and Coilers are designed to produce neat, uniformly wound packages free of defects. Saving valuable downtime, they are ideal as an off-line quality inspection system that will not interrupt the manufacturing process.

They may also be used as a remedial measure to compensate for poorly wound spools resulting from inadequate take-ups on older processing lines.

Dual spindle (shown), single spindle and many custom designs are available. Huestis Industrial Spoolers and Coilers are matched to your specifications.

High-Speed Respoolers

Huestis Industrial High-Speed Respoolers are custom designed to your specifications. Ask about this and other configurations that match high-speed performance and reliability for outstanding respooling value.

Features

Custom Design

• Custom designed body style and options provide an optimal spooling system for your requirements.
• Individual cost considerations taken into account when designing custom machines ranging from manual to fully automated systems.

Variable Number and Size of Spools

• Spoolers can be designed to handle any number and size of spools.
• Spool weight is a determining factor in designing the size of the spindle and drive horsepower required.
• Several different spool size ranges can be accommodated with multiple numbers and sizes of spindles.

Properly Matched Process Speeds

• Process speeds are matched to individual application requirements to help eliminate overcapacity costs.
• Options include economical variable speed or constant speed which varies spindle rpm to compensate for the increase in line speed as the spool increases in diameter.
• Constant speed option allows spooling at maximum speed or helps keep inspection conditions constant.

Ramping

• Smooth/ gradual or instantaneous shock loading systems are available.
• Optional accumulators help provide smoothness and control to the system.

Back Tension Options

• Variable tension allows adjustment for ideal tension over many wire sizes.
• Proper variable tension range allows the braking system to handle torque produced by the continuously changing package core to package O.D. ratio.
• Constant tension can be provided with a dancer to automatically adjust pay-off drag.
• Load cells offer precision measurement.
• Minimal tension systems handle very sensitive or light gauge product.

Wire Traverse vs. Oscillating Spool

• Traverse systems move the wire back and forth along the horizontal face of the spool to provide uniform winding.
• Oscillating spool systems oscillate the spool while the centerline of the product remains fixed.
• Oscillating systems are ideal for flat wire, fiber-optic cable and other products that do not allow for camber induced by traverse systems.

Flaw Detection

• Spooler can be used as an automatic flaw detection system using a sparker, dia. gauge or other inspection device.
• Simple flaw counting systems count the number of flaws on the spool.
• “Auto-reversing to flaw” systems can indicate when a flaw is detected, then automatically stop and back up to the flaw for immediate operator repair, tag or removal.

System Highlights

Matched To Your Specifications

Offered with variable speed DC drive, multiple heads, adjustable traverse, cantilevered arbors, tension control, and spool or collapsible coiling head use.

Optional Accumulators

Accumulators maintain constant process tension and speed control feedback to accommodate high speed process lines.
