FENN Traversing Take-up Reels

To keep pace with ever increasing mill speeds, production demands and coil package presentation, Fenn has perfected a wide selection of mechanical ballscrew and hydraulic cylinder type Traversing Take-up Reels. A unique combination of rugged durability and precise electronic control, the Fenn Traversing Take-up Reel is well suited to any wire flattening application. Today, the Fenn Traversing Take-up Reels are unsurpassed for its high production take-up capacity, great dependability and flexibility over any other type. All of our traversing reels are available with a wide variety of electric control packages to suit any application and all are available with servo controls to perform the traverse operation. Traversing reels with coil weight capacities of up to 6,000 lbs. are included in our standard designs. The traversing reel shown at below is a Model 3518 Hydraulic Cylinder Traversing Take-up Reel with servo control. The servo output is determined by a comparison of the combined reference signals from both linear and rotary transducers, which are constantly monitored and continuously fed to a microcomputer. The Model 3518 has coil weight capacity of 3,000 lbs., 500 lbs. tension and a traversing stroke of 18". With the control package supplied with this reel only two basic settings are required; namely the width of the process material and the width of the spool. Additional settings and adjustments are provided for coil refinement purposes and are usually only onetime setups. Other standard Fenn reels with associated capacities are shown in the chart on the right.
