Engineering Overview
Autoreel’s comprehensive system for high-speed winding of small wires and cables onto domestic size cardboard and plywood reels. This unique modular system is specifically designed for use in medium output distribution and process line applications.
The basic system comprises a pintle loading winding head with a variable speed drive and a cable-layering device. Onto this we can add a number of modules which tailor the machine to your specific requirements. These include Automatic layering, integrated payoff device, Constant tension dancer arm, etc.
By applying Autoreel’s philosophy of effortless one-man operation to the HSR, easy drum loading has been combined with state-of-the-art technology to ensure high performance and reliability with reduced expenditure.
The HSR100 can be used on a process line or linked with a pay-off for rewinding applications. This example shows it being used with an Autoreel PLP2000 powered pay-off allowing the system to rewind from 2000kg drums.
