Every machine in our range — from cable traversers to steel strip recoiling units — is built around a common set of proven technologies: ball-screw traversing, closed-loop speed tracking, servo drives and PLC control.

The Technology Inside Our Winding and Recoiling Equipment

All our winding machines use a ball-screw traversing mechanism. The traverser controller reads speed pulses from the take-up shaft and converts them into a reciprocating ball-screw movement. The screw travel per revolution is set to the wire diameter value entered on the screen, so each layer of wire sits exactly next to the previous one.

Applicable to wire diameters from 0 to 100 mm across the cable traverser series
Guide-rail traversers (XL-TR-03) hold ±0.1 mm traversing precision at line speeds up to 120 m/min, with stroke lengths of 300 / 400 / 500 mm (customisable) and 400 W or 750 W servo drives
Traversing force of 200–5000 N/m covers both light cable and heavy wire applications

Applied in: Cable Traversers, Copper Flat Wire Rolling Mill Line, all recoilers.

Ball-Screw Traversing — Precise Wire Placement

The traverser does not run on a fixed timer. Its controller continuously samples speed pulses from the winding shaft and adjusts the traverse motion in real time, so the traverse stays synchronised with the take-up speed at all times — including acceleration, deceleration and spool build-up.

Our precision recoilers extend this principle with speed tracking and automatic compensation driven by a self-developed microelectronic winding controller, holding winding precision at ±0.5‰ for wire from 1 to 14 mm at take-up speeds up to 300 r/min.

Applied in: Oscillate Recoiler Series, Cable Traversers.

Closed-Loop Speed Tracking and Automatic Compensation

Tension is the variable that decides coil quality. Our recoilers use servo drives on both the take-up and the traverse axes — for example a 3 kW take-up servo with a 1.5 kW traverse servo — with an adjustable tension range of 40–200 N. As the spool builds up, the control system tracks and compensates so that tension stays inside the set window from the first layer to the last.

On steel strip edge trimming and recoiling units, servo constant-tension rewinding is combined with an oil cylinder that controls coil diameter, keeping stainless steel and armoring strip flat and stable at speeds up to 300 m/min. Active pay-off units (XL-DL-08) add automatic tension synchronisation on the upstream side.

Applied in: Oscillate Recoiler Series, Steel Strip Edge Trimming & Winding Units.

Servo Constant-Tension Winding

Every machine in the range is operated through a PLC with a touch screen. Wire diameter, tension, speed and spool parameters are entered on screen, and the ball-screw traverse pitch follows the entered value directly.

The cable traverser series is designed for integration by machine builders (OEM):
Standard MODBUS 485 communication protocol
Two analogue output channels
Selectable differential or open-collector encoder output
Selectable active or passive pay-off mode
Dedicated DC 24 V power supply for the traversing system
Touch-screen all-in-one traversers (XL-TR-02) combine controller and 7", 10" or 15" display in one unit, integrating high-speed winding and traversing.

Applied in: all six series — see Products.

PLC and Touch-Screen Control with Standard Interfaces

Take-up length is measured to a precision of 3‰ on our recoilers and steel strip edge trimming and recoiling units. For wire and strip producers, this means the length shown on the counter matches the length delivered on the spool — the basis for reliable production planning and commercial handover between supplier and customer.

Meter Counting You Can Invoice On

Two mechanical details that decide day-to-day productivity:

Hydraulic expanding shafts on steel strip edge trimming and recoiling units clamp the spool concentrically and hold strip tension stable (40–200 N) from spool start to full coil, for strip up to 2 mm thick.
No-stop barrel change on the barrel type wire winding machine (XL-BW-14): soft wire from 1 to 6 mm is wound into barrels (OD 500 / ID 300 / H 500–700 mm) in a tangle-free plum-blossom pattern, and the machine changes barrels without stopping at winding speeds up to 600 m/min. A vibration motor settles the wire and increases the fill per barrel.
