Modular Takeup System

The modular take-up system (MTS) is comprised of small modules that can operate as independent take-up units, or they can be stacked on top of each other, or back to back, to create a multi-wire take-up system. A stack of modules can conveniently be taken apart and rearranged as needed for use throughout a factory. In a multi-wire system, up to four modules can share power from a single power outlet. Each module remains an independent system with its own speed and winding settings.

The MTS modules produce spools with neat and even layers of material. They feature a traversing guide head that steers the material onto the rotating take-up spool. The traversing guide is synchronized with the rotation of the take-up shaft. The shaft is driven through an electronic clutch. It will only pull as hard as the clutch setting allows, and will safely “slip” at the desired tension level. The operator is able to quickly set the winding pitch and adjust the traversing window to match the spool width. Adjustment knobs for speed and tension are provided on the control panel. All adjustments can be made “on the fly.”
