Engineering Overview
The Autoreel SCW Series features a single-sided cantilever spindle design that removes the outer support frame, allowing drums, bobbins, and collapsible coiling heads to be loaded and unloaded directly from the side without obstruction.
This open architecture makes the SCW ideal for production lines and distributor desks requiring frequent product swaps between spools and tied coils.
Built with heavy-duty oversized cantilever spindle bearings and a compact mobile chassis for maximum workshop versatility.
