Features cinematic close-up camera swoop on Step 05 showing the drum slightly inching to align its drive hole with the torque lock bracket and pin!
Autoreel's shaftless floor loading completely eliminates heavy loose steel mandrels and crane handling.
Three phase power is attached to the right-hand mast socket, engaging the main safety circuit. The amber strobe beacon pulses atop the mast, powering up the hydraulic systems and steering tiller.
The operator deploys the power steering tiller to smoothly drive the machine on its durable polyurethane castors, docking squarely into operating position with cage already raised.
The hydraulic radial arms swing downward to ground level, positioning the pins lower ready to receive the drum.
The wooden cable drum is rolled directly across the shop floor into the loading area without requiring any overhead cranes or loose steel mandrels.
The operator uses the arm console to pinch both radial arms inward symmetrically, seating the precision hardened alloy pins securely into the drum bore.
The operator positions the torque drive bracket to match the drum's drive hole, and screws the dual drive dog pins into positive lock for high-torque transmission.
The operator now uses the rear main control panel to lower the perimeter safety cage. Dual optical and mechanical safety interlocks arm before drive motor activation.
The operator raises the dual high-pressure hydraulic lifting cylinders to elevate the radial arms and locked drum off the shop floor into full operating clearance.
The operator uses the panel to fully control the speed of the primary spindle drive motor through the planetary gearbox, accelerating the drum steadily to speed for safe high-speed winding.
When ready the operator brings the high-inertia cable drum smoothly to a controlled standstill at 0 RPM.
The hydraulic radial arms lower the cable drum gently back down until it rests securely on the floor.
The perimeter safety cage rises overhead on dual gas struts, opening the bay for finished reel unloading.
The drive pins retract from the flange, and the main shaft pins slide outward, and the radial arms swing open to release the drum.
The operator rolls the loaded drum safely out of the loading bay directly onto the shop floor toward packaging.
The operator can now easily load a new drum or steer the machine smoothly back to its original parked storage position.
