PFA
As a robust pay-off unit with a driven axle, the PFA can be used both as a feeding device and as a take-up unit. Unwanted tensile forces are effectively avoided. The PFA models transport even sensitive materials smoothly and precisely—materials that could otherwise be easily damaged or deformed.
Speed and acceleration can be adjusted flexibly, allowing optimal synchronization with downstream processing machines.
Various safety features help prevent damage and ensure maximum workplace safety. For example, torque limitation protects against accidents, while the dancer control system provides a safety shutdown in the event of a cable jam.
Application
The feeding unit is suitable for almost all materials: wires, cables, strands, strip material, films, paper, copper sheets, plastic pipes, corrugated tubing, heat shrink tubing, insulating sleeves, etc.
