In modern wire and cable manufacturing, efficient and stable reel handling is essential to maintain maximum line speed, consistent tension, and high product quality. Traditional shafted systems often require heavy foundations, time-consuming bobbin changes, and significant manual effort.
The RLB Cantilever Take-up and Pay-off Machine is a heavy-duty, shaftless active system specifically designed for demanding applications such as extrusion lines (insulation and sheathing), stranding and laying-up machines, taping and armoring lines, and rewinding/inspection stations.
Featuring a robust cantilever structure with hydraulic lifting and clamping, intelligent servo control, and precise constant tension management, this machine delivers fast, safe, and reliable reel handling across a wide range of drum sizes and line speeds — with no special foundation required.
Technological Process For Take-up and Pay-off Machine
Bobbin loading → Hydraulic lifting and automatic clamping → Active servo-driven pay-off or take-up → Constant tension control with real-time feedback → Automatic traversing → Seamless synchronization with upstream extrusion or stranding equipment.
The shaftless cantilever design allows quick and safe bobbin changes while the intelligent control system ensures perfect speed and tension synchronization with the main production line.
Core Technical Advantages & Operational Benefits
Shaftless Cantilever Structure with Hydraulic Operation Hydraulic cylinders control simultaneous pintle opening and closing, enabling fast, safe, and labor-saving bobbin loading and unloading. The cantilever design eliminates the need for heavy shafts and special foundations, simplifying installation and reducing setup time.
Wide Application Range and High Capacity Suitable for drum diameters from 630 mm to 1800 mm, widths from 250 mm to 1300 mm, and loads up to 5000 kg. It handles wire diameters from 3 mm to 35 mm at speeds up to 800 m/min, making it ideal for both medium and high-voltage cable production.
Intelligent MMI + PLC Control with Line Synchronization The system offers selectable speed or torque modes with real-time synchronization to extrusion lines, stranding machines, and other downstream equipment. Operators can easily monitor and adjust parameters through the touchscreen interface.
Precise Constant Tension Control Advanced servo control with tension feedback maintains stable tension throughout the entire reel. This minimizes wire damage, reduces scrap, and ensures consistent cable quality from start to finish.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Continuous Operation Robust frame, hydraulic lifting system, and automatic functions reduce operator fatigue and support reliable 24/7 production with minimal maintenance.
These features make the RLB cantilever stand a preferred solution for modern cable plants seeking higher productivity, reduced downtime, and consistent tension control.
