System
Highlights
Spool Unloading
A collapsible spindle supports spool unloading after the winding cycle.
Length Measurement
A linear encoder provides length measurements during the winding process.
Width Adjustability
Adjustable platen width and guides help accommodate material width changes and sheet variance.
Line Speed Matching
The winder initiates spooling to match line speed, then increases speed after the saw cut to finish the cycle.
Manual Banding Support
The spool winder allows manual banding of the carbon fiber spool before unload.
