Winding, cutting, strapping and packing those coils by hand ties up several people at the end of the extrusion line. An automatic coil winding, strapping and packing machine measures the cable, winds it on a flanged spool, cuts it, straps the coil, and passes it to a shrink packer. This page covers the flow, the FCL-V600 coiler data, and how to size a coil for a set length.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UwuaaANijtk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Red cable winds onto a spool between yellow flanges while a guide lays each turn.
