> Our steel wire coil winding and packing machine takes wire straight from the line and winds it to a set length at 200 to 800 m/min. It then cuts the wire, straps the coil through its bore in 3 to 6 places with PP strap, and unloads it. One winding head produces about 20 coils an hour; a double-head machine about 40.

Why wind and pack on one machine
When wire is wound on one machine and strapped by hand or on a second machine, the coil is moved while it is still loose. Turns slip, the coil loses its shape, and the strapping crew sets the pace for the whole line. We put winding, cutting, strapping and unloading into one program, so the coil is strapped while the winder still holds it in shape.
Los cuatro módulos
**1. Tension accumulator.** A vertical accumulator stores 5 to 20 m of wire and keeps the tension even. A synchronising device matches take-up speed so the wire is not overstretched, and the machine stops at once if the wire breaks.
**2. Winder head.** A servo traverse lays the wire across the coil width, and an encoder wheel counts length to the centimetre. When the coil reaches its set length, the winder slows and stops in the strapping position. The portal cutter then cuts the wire. The PLC stores coil recipes, so a size change is a recall rather than a re-setup.
**3. ID strapping.** The strapping head sits on the coiling machine and passes PP strap through the coil bore, tensions it and joins it by friction weld, in 3 to 6 places.
**4. Unloading.** An unloading device takes the strapped coil off the head on a guide rail and sets it in the gathering position.
ID strapping data
| Artículo | Valor |
|---|---|
| Strap | PP, 10 mm wide, 0.8 mm thick |
| Joint | Friction-vibration weld |
| Joint strength | About 75 to 80% of the strap breaking load |
| Strap places | 3 to 6 per coil |
| Winding speed | 200 to 800 m/min |
| Output | About 20 coils/h (one head), 40 coils/h (double head) |
| Machine centre height | 1,000 mm from the floor |
| Supply | 380/440 V AC, 60 Hz |

From winder to wrapper
Once the coil is strapped, a transfer arm lifts it off the winding head and sets it on the outgoing conveyor, so no one lifts a coil by hand. That handover is what keeps a single operator ahead of the machine at 20 or 40 coils an hour.
Where coils must also be film-wrapped through the eye for export or humid storage, the conveyor carries them on to one of our wire coil wrapping machines. The winder and wrapper then run as one line, with the wrapper sized to the same coil range.
Worked example: where the cycle time goes
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Wire per coil (illustrative) | 500 m |
| Winding speed (illustrative) | 400 m/min |
| Winding time, 500 ÷ 400 | 1.25 min (75 s) |
| One-head output | 20 coils/h, so 180 s per coil |
| Time left for slow-down, cutting, strapping and unloading, 180 − 75 | 105 s |
Strapping and unloading take more time than winding, which is why the double-head version exists: one head winds while the other is being strapped and emptied, and output rises to about 40 coils an hour.
Selection checklist: single or double head?
- **Single head** fits lines with short coils and moderate line speed, or tight floor space.
- **Double head** fits continuous lines: winding does not wait for strapping, so the upstream line keeps running.
- Either way we set the accumulator length to the line speed and the wire you run.
Seguridad
We design to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10 for packaging machines. Keep clear of the rotating head, the traverse and the cutter while the machine runs; the emergency switch is on the operation panel. Lock out before threading new wire or clearing a strap jam.
Preguntas frecuentes sobre ingeniería
Q: How fast does it wind?
A: 200 to 800 m/min, set to your wire and upstream line.
Q: How many coils an hour?
A: About 20 with one head and 40 with two.
Q: How is the coil strapped?
A: Through the bore with 10 mm PP strap in 3 to 6 places, joined by friction weld.
Q: Does it cut the wire itself?
A: Yes. A portal cutter cuts the wire when the set length is reached.
Q: Can we change coil size quickly?
A: Yes. Coil specifications are stored in the PLC and recalled on the touch screen.
