Securing Heavy and Non-
Standard Coils
When coiling larger or alternative products,
packaging and securing become just as
important as winding precision.
To keep coil shape consistent and cable ends
protected during handling, the FC5 and FC8
can be equipped with dedicated solutions to
fix the cable end.
For optimal cable packaging, securing both
the geometry and the cable end is crucial.
The FlexCoiler series coilers can be equipped
with various options, depending on the
cable’s characteristics:
•
Stretch wrap applied to the outer
circumference while still inside the
winding head, thus maintaining the coil’s
shape and securing the cable end.
•
Strapping systems for securing coil
shape and cable ends, tailored to your
specific requirements.
Available strapper configurations include:
• One diametrical strap over the coil
• Two straps through the eye
• Four straps through the eye combined
with a rotation station
This allows the securing method to be
matched to product stiffness, coil weight,
and handling flow.
•
AAC (Aluminum) wire end fixation using
an integrated automated tape unit. The
automated cable end tape system applies
tape to fix and secure the AAC wire end
in a repeatable way, without manual
handling.
This improves:
• Packaging consistency
• Operator safety
• Downstream pallet stability
The individually wrapped coils can then
be moved to the subsequent stages of the
overall packaging process without ever
becoming loose or losing the cable end.
Biodegradable stretch film options are
available for environmentally friendly packaging.
