Automatic wire coil compacting solution

I am good, and you?

Wire coil compactor and strapping line

The coil compacting machine works by feeding wire coils into a compactor, which flattens and compresses the coils into a more compact form. The compacted coils are then bundled together using strapping material, such as PET or steel belt, for secure transportation and storage.

The compacting process can be customized to meet the specific needs of each wire coil, with adjustable settings for compression force and speed. The machine can also be programmed to compact coils of different sizes and shapes, making it a versatile solution for a range of wire coil applications.

Automatic wire coil compacting solutions typically include the following key components:

  • Coil unwindingstand – Holds the wire coil in place as the wire is unwound. Allows the coil to rotate smoothly.
  • Wire guide rollers – Guide the unwound wire through the compaction station. Prevents tangling and controls the wire feedrate.
  • Compaction station – Includes tools like punches, dies and presses to compact the wire. May have adjustable compacting forces based on wire gauge.
  • Feed control- Uses drives, clutches, sensors, etc. to control the rate at which the wire is fed through the compaction station. Helps achieve even compaction.
  • Tension control- Ensures adequate but not excessive tension on the wire feed. Prevents slack or wire breakage. Uses load cells, adjustment rollers, etc.
  • Cutting tool- Cuts the wire to the required length after compaction. May have Guillotine, shearing or abrasive cutting styles.
  • Wire collection station – Collects the compacted wire coils for sorting, packaging or further processing. May include coil winders for bundling smaller coils.
  • Safety features – Includes e-stops, light curtains, drive overload sensors, etc. Prevents injuries and machine damage.
  • Programmable logic controller- Programmably controls the sequence and process parameters of wire unwinding, feeding, compacting, cutting and collection. Allows reproducing optimized settings.
  • Human machine interface- Provides an interface for operating technicians to control the machine, modify settings and monitor performance.
