In one cell, the coil is held from the coiler to the wrapper, so it keeps its shape. The film wrap keeps dust and moisture off the cable sheath, holds the coil without ties and leaves room for a label.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cell\">How the cell works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Coil:<\/strong> the coiler winds the set cable length into a coil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transfer:<\/strong> a pneumatic gripper moves the coil to the wrapping station.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hold:<\/strong> the press head lowers to hold the coil on the rotating plate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap:<\/strong> the ring turns through the coil eye and the plate turns the coil, so film covers it all round.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Release:<\/strong> the film is cut, the press head lifts and the coil is pushed out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Out:<\/strong> the wrapped coil runs on the roller conveyor to labelling or boxing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">FPCA-200 data<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Item<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">FPCA-200 cable coil wrapping machine<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Voltage<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">AC 380 V, 50 Hz (or to order)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Power<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">2.0 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil ID<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">150\u2013400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil OD<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">250\u2013500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil width<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">80\u2013200 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Coil weight<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">2\u201350 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring speed<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10\u2013120 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Material<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">PE, stretch film, PVC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For larger cable coils, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Cable-packing-machine\/Cable-coil-wrapping-machine-FPCA-300.html\">FPCA-300<\/a> is the next size. FPCA-200 is the wrapping unit of the cell. On the coiling side, our automatic cable winding machine handles cable of 2\u201320 mm diameter at line speeds up to 200 m\/min, with a meter counter from 0.01 m to 500 m and a 6 bar air supply. The exact coiler for your cable is confirmed at quote.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"film\">Film use and wrap time<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ring passes per layer \u2248 \u03c0 \u00d7 coil OD \u00f7 (film width \u00d7 (1 \u2212 overlap)).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrap time (s) \u2248 ring passes \u00f7 ring speed (r\/min) \u00d7 60.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Example only: a 400 mm OD coil with 100 mm film at 50% overlap needs about \u03c0 \u00d7 400 \u00f7 (100 \u00d7 0.5) \u2248 25 passes. At 100 r\/min this is 25 \u00f7 100 \u00d7 60 = 15 s of wrapping. Add transfer and push-out time to get the cell cycle, and match it to the coiler output.<\/p>\n<p>The formula uses the outer diameter. Around the coil eye the same film passes cover a much shorter perimeter, so the film builds up at the ID. Film use is therefore set by the OD, and the eye gets several layers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Cable diameter and type?<\/li>\n<li>Coil length, ID, OD and width?<\/li>\n<li>Coil weight?<\/li>\n<li>Film type: PE, stretch or PVC?<\/li>\n<li>Coils per hour from the coiler?<\/li>\n<li>Labelling or boxing after wrapping?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Safety<\/h2>\n<p>We design coiling and wrapping cells to EN ISO 12100:2010 for risk assessment, EN 415-10 for packaging machine safety and EN 60204-1 for electrical equipment.

PE, stretch film and PVC are all used.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can the wrapper run alone?\nA: Yes, with manual loading, or in line with a coiler.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How fast is the ring?\nA: 10\u2013120 r\/min, set to the coil size and film.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Send your cable size, coil size and output<\/strong> to info@fhopepack.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We confirm<\/strong> the coiler and wrapper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We reply within 24 hours<\/strong> with a proposal and quotation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Cable-packing-machine\/Cable-Coil-Wrapping-Machine-FPCA-200.html\">FPCA-200 cable coil wrapping machine (product)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Cable-packing-machine\/Cable-coil-wrapping-machine-FPCA-300.html\">FPCA-300 cable coil wrapping machine (product)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Cable-packing-machine\/automatic-cable-winding-and-packing-machine.html\">Automatic cable winding and packing machine (product)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/cable-coil-packing-machine-and-wire-packing-machine\/\">Cable coil packing machine and wire packing machine (video)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/full-wrapping-through-packaging-machine\/\">Full wrapping-through packaging machine (video)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>FHOPE product pages: FPCA-200, FPCA-300<\/li>\n<li>EN ISO 12100:2010; EN 415-10; EN 60204-1<\/li>\n<li>The cable coiling and wrapping cell shown above<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-20<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary Auto cable coiling and wrapping with film turns a cut length of cable into a sealed, labelled coil without hand work.
