Paying off and taking up
Weber & Scher recently released its latest line of modular cable pay-off and take-up systems for fibre optic cables. The concept is to offer the cable manufacturer a compact and economical design unit that can be deployed throughout the factory for a variety of applications. The pay-offs and take-ups are offered in different incremental sizes to accommodate a range of reel diameters and widths. These systems can be furnished non-driven with a mechanical or electrical brake. Driven models are also available that can be torque regulated or alternatively, speed regulated from a dancer to maintain the preset cable tension.
The take-up systems can be furnished with a cable traversing mechanism to provide a level wind on the cable reel. In addition, reel traversing cable take-up systems are offered to obtain a level wind on the reel while also maintaining the cable on the wire centre line. Both optical- and processor-based traversing systems can be furnished to suit any application.
Weber & Scher additionally manufactures a variety of cable accumulation systems for use in tandem with the pay-off and take-up units to permit continuous operation of the production line.
Both vertical and horizontal accumulation systems are available in heavy- and light-duty models. The accumulation systems can be furnished for dancer trim on line speed control of the pay-off or take-up units for precise tension regulation. Furthermore, Weber & Scher is a complete turnkey manufacturer of jelly filling systems as well as smooth and corrugated metal tape sheathing systems for optical fibre cables, telephone cables, and so on.
Seam welded metal tape sheathing systems are additionally available for producing CATV cables, RF coaxial cables and power cables.
Ancillary equipment within the company's product line includes belt wrap capstans, linear belt capstans, taping heads, binding heads, Kevlar servers, and core wrap tape application systems.
