6 Spools Per Minute!
Jarfalla, Sweden, July 31, 2008 - Windak announced today that its new generation High Speed SW6 spooler has successfully achieved 6 x 100 m spools per minute. Our SW6, fully automatic spooler has been designed for a maximum output of 6 spools/min (100 m) with a guarantee of 5 per/min (100 m) according to Urban Bollo, Managing Director of Windak Sweden. “To the best of our knowledge, the SW6 is the fastest 100 m cable spooler in the world” stated Mr. Bollo.
One of the obstacles to achieving 6 x 100 m spools/minute has been the loading/unloading cycle time. Windak’s new dual lift system allows for cycle times of less than 10 seconds. With short cycle times and a stop time of less than one second the SW6 is truly optimized for in-line production of spools 165 mm (6.5”) OD x 90 – 200 mm (3.5”- 8”) wide.
