In high-speed wire and cable manufacturing, reliable reel handling is critical to maintaining maximum line efficiency, consistent tension, and superior cable quality. The Cantilever Take-up and Pay-off Machine is a heavy-duty, shaftless system specifically engineered for demanding processes such as extrusion lines, stranding machines, and rewinding stations.
With its robust cantilever design, hydraulic lifting system, and intelligent MMI+PLC control, this active unit delivers exceptional performance across a wide range of drum sizes, wire diameters, and line speeds while requiring no special foundation — making installation fast and operation simple.
Brief Technological Process
Bobbin Loading → Hydraulic Lifting & Clamping → Active Pay-off / Take-up → Constant Tension Control → Synchronization with Main Line Hydraulic arms lift and clamp the reel (shaftless design) → Motorized pintles open/close simultaneously → Active servo drive with tension feedback → Precise wire pay-off or take-up with automatic traversing → Seamless integration with upstream extrusion or stranding equipment.
No special foundation required — plug-and-play installation for fast line setup.
Core Technical Advantages & Operational Benefits
- Shaftless Cantilever Structure: Hydraulic cylinder controls simultaneous pintle opening/closing for quick, safe, and labor-saving bobbin loading/unloading.
- Wide Application Range: Drum diameters 630–1800 mm, widths 250–1300 mm, loads up to 5000 kg, wire diameters 3–35 mm, speeds up to 800 m/min.
- Intelligent MMI+PLC Control: Selectable speed/torque modes with real-time synchronization to extrusion lines, stranding machines, and downstream equipment.
- Constant Tension System: Advanced servo control maintains stable tension throughout the reel, minimizing wire damage and ensuring consistent cable quality.
- Heavy-Duty & Low-Maintenance: Robust frame, hydraulic lifting, and automatic systems reduce labor intensity and support 24/7 continuous operation.
These features make the RLB cantilever stand the preferred choice for modern cable plants seeking higher productivity, reduced downtime, and consistent tension throughout the entire reel.
