Fine wire (defined as smaller than .050” / 1.25mm in diameter ) has more critical handling issues to contend with due to the nature of material mass and size than other larger wire sizes.Fine wire is usually supplied in spool form weighing less than 50 lbs
In many applications the use of precious metals smaller than .050” diameter are used to make a large variety of parts. The payoff of such fine, precious, and many times “soft” or low tensile materials can easily cause the wire to snap or stretch due an improper payout method, path, or resistance levels. The straightening of fine wire can be hampered by not having the proper degree of back tension and direct travel path to the straightening device. The TAK FWPO ( fine wire payoff ) provides those features and several others.
The TAK model FWPO unit has several features that ensure that these wire types and sizes are paid off under precise control to almost eliminate the possibility of breaking the wire. The FWPO is available for trial evaluation.
The following are some of the features of the TAK FWPO:
Low friction ceramic lined plastic “V” shaped roller guides
Floating bearing collars on all roller guides
Snag sensor & auto-shutdown
Adjustable payoff speed
Selectable tension springs
Adjustable reservoir set point
Adjustable payoff height
Forward or Reverse
Vertical or Horizontal Configuration
