How simply and effectively the Un-Coiler™ works:
The Un-Coiler's
feeding action is initiated by the pull of the strip material from the
production equipment, which activates Norwalk's patented, "Quick Torque"
drive system. This pulling effect of the material, which is fed around
the Un-Coiler's self-aligning guide drum, draws the drum outwards and
rotates the table. The farther the guide drum is pulled outwards, the
faster the turntable rotates, assuring automatic speed synchronization
with the machine tool. The drive wheel runs directly to the table rim
surface, providing very responsive starting and stopping, avoiding
excess coasting. The tension remains constant, whether uncoiling a full
or almost empty load.
Versatile
The Un-Coiler has
the ability to uncoil a variety of materials in many widths and
thicknesses. The Un-Coiler handles metal, wire, plastic, cable and even
paper!
Gentle on Metal
The Un-Coiler is
easy on materials. Even soft metals like brass and copper can be
uncoiled and fed without causing edge damage. Lifting a vertical
reel tends to crimp the bottom edge of strip material - this simply
doesn't happen with the Un-Coiler's horizontal coil placement. For
highly polished, painted or other special-finish materials a urethane
guide drum is available for even more protection.
Portable
The Un-Coiler is
rigid and designed to accommodate up to 10,000lbs of material, yet it is
light enough to be moved from one location to another so you can use it
where you need it. Portability is made even easier because there are no
permanent connecting wires to the production machine. |
