SAMP Sistemi has cost-effective handling equipment for both wire drawing and extrusion lines

Success today in the wire and cables industry depends heavily on product quality combined with low-cost production. One critical area that contributes to this success is efficient material handling. A major highlight for SAMP Sistemi’s extrusion division is the MDC 330 automatic coiling machine.

The MDC 330 is a compact 3 x 3 x 2.2m unit, specifically designed for in-line coiling of cables and especially suitable for automotive ones. Its wide performance range make it an ideal upgrade for existing lines as well as a perfect partner for the newest and fastest insulation lines on the market today. The MDC 330 has no accumulator, the coil change over is fully automatic and it can happen at maximum production speed so this means no slowing down of production. It has been designed paying particular attention to the quality of the wire distribution in winding mode, as well as in the precision and efficacy in the wire hooking to the empty drum. The wire passage from the full drum to the empty one occurs automatically by meter counter signal or upon calling, avoiding the conductor stretching even at the maximum speed.

The machine is also provided with a coil transfer system feeding an automatic independent strapping machine, which straps the full coils and unloads them onto their collecting zone. The whole system is managed in auto mode. The system can be completed also by a label printer. The coiling machine is moreover equipped with: • dancer for line speed timing (provided with mandrel and wire tension adjustment) • wire distributor, which allows the stroke adjustment, as well as that of the wire distribution pitch • coil transfer device based on a manipulator

All the change over operations, coils unloading, wire unhooking occur automatically and are managed as a cycle by a programmable logic. PLC can belong to the main commercial brands (eg Siemens, Allen Bradley) and it’s possible also to add one’s own capstan. Key technical features include the ability to handle insulated wires (0.20 – 7.00mm2) on a minimum 100mm dia. drum with a flange dia. up to 330mm. The maximum rotational speed is 3800rpm and provides a maximum production linear speed of 1200m/min.
