Our floor traversing take-ups meet the demands of a heavy load carrying capacity and a broad reel range due to extending production lengths. Due to its energy saving braking system, the pay-off will reduce the overall power consumption of the production line. The frame design allows reel loading by an overhead crane.
Floor Take-up FTU 20LV is a floor traversing machine of portal design. The machine consists of two vertical stands with pintles. The stands are connected at the top by a horizontal telescopic shaft. Thanks to the telescopic function, the machine width is minimized.
The reel is rotated by a carrier arm. The reel rotation can be either torque controlled with compensation for winding radius or speed controlled (dancer, accumulator or external reference).
One pair of pintles is delivered with the machine as standard equipment.
The brushless AC motors for all movements are reliable and easy to maintain.
All functions, such as reel rotation, traversing and pintle movements, are activated and controlled from fixed panels. The main control panel includes a multi-lingual information display for machine status, settings and alarms.

When thinking about sustainability in the cable industry, Maillefer considers where we can have the most impact on carbon footprint. Our own actions as an equipment provider are clearly modest compared to the effects we can have on the cable manufacturing end. In cable production, the materials processed during the extrusion phase easily represents 95% of the carbon footprint generated. This is because cable making consumes much material. At Maillefer, we can have the biggest impact by helping our cable-making customers achieve their sustainability goals. Our shared goal is to make more with less. Read more
