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 30LV 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. Due 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.
