The last of the many phases that make up the cable production process is the rewinding of the finished cable on the reel with which it will be sent to the customer. To be sure of the absence of construction defects in the cable itself and to guarantee the customer the quality he requires, before the final rewinding the cables are tested using different quality control tools; consequently, a rewinding line that integrates, in a single step, all the necessary control devices (and, if required, also marking units) represents the ideal solution.
WTM has further refined its cable rewinding lines, to offer each customer the right machine to work with the widest possible range of cables, both of round and flat shape. This type of machine is composed of:
- motorized pay-off, both stationary and traversing;
- cable tension control via dancer or direct torque, depending on the characteristics of the cable to be tested;
- tension monitoring by means of load cells;
- quality control and cable marking devices, based on customer specifications;
- traversing take-up;
- protective film applicator.
The instruments to perform quality controls on the cable includes:
- spark tester;
- laser diameter meters;
- lump & neck detector;
- meter counter;
- printer;
- specific "back-to-fault" function: in case an anomaly is detected on the cable, the machine stops the process and reverses to the point of defect.
