Model Overview & Specs
Overview
The Model 650 is an oscillate winding system described as the most rugged, highest volume unit, designed for 24 hour a day, seven day a week service in the take up of ferrous and non-- ferrous metal strip or flatware. It is designed for use either in multiples for winding directly from a slitter, or individually in large capacity rewinding operations (5,000 lb. arbor capacity), and can accommodate both mill or high volume service center requirements. The 650 can wind spools or cores of narrow width material from 1/4" to 2 1/8" in gauges from .010 to .125 inch, with rewind tension adjustable from 10 to 200 lb using torque and dancer control systems. The unit is slaved to a slitter drive, process, or prime mover and synchronizes speed using either the STC (Speed, Tension Control) system or Torque Control. The Model 650 features a fully protected electric brake and torque limiter for extremely rapid stopping even at maximum load and speed, and the torque limiter prevents damage to the drive train. Key specifications include Max. Package O.D.: 48 in, Max. Package Weight: 5000 lb, Max. Winding Speed: 1000 fpm, Traverse Pitch: Adjustable from 0 to 2.125 in, and Traverse Type: Hydraulic.
