Engineering Overview
Autoreelβs HW100 Hand Winder provides a simple and cost-effective method of winding and accurately measuring cable onto coils or drums.
The standard unit is supplied complete with a coiling head reproducing a neat, bound coil (saving the additional cost of a drum), a metric linear measuring meter and a small drum mounting shaft.
A measuring meter is mounted on a traversing device enabling the operator to layer the cable neatly giving a more professional appearance to dispatch drums and coils.
To facilitate the loading of stock drums the optional payout module is fitted to the rear of the machine, thus making the machine an all-in-one winder and payout.
The PA100 payout module combines a drum roller frame and two removable drum stanchions with detachable drum loading axle. The stock drum is simply rolled up the entrance ramp onto the rollers. Stanchions and axle are used with damaged drums. The module is hinged to enable the unit to be folded for storage and transportation.
