Designed specifically to address common challenges in cable manufacturing, the “AL60” significantly improves production efficiency, operator safety, and reduces downtime associated with manual reel handling.
Manual loading and unloading of reels on rewinding systems often slows down production —especially when forklift operators or handling equipment aren’t readily available.
Our solution simplifies this process: by allowing multiple empty reels to be preloaded, the system eases the workload for both the line operator and the forklift driver.
The “AL60” directly addresses these concerns, enabling seamless inline rewinding and hands-free heavy reel packaging. Its intelligent automation allows efficient handling of reels weighing up to several tons, easy reel size changes through a single recipe adjustment, and continuous production with minimal manual intervention.
Key benefits of the Auto Loader “AL60” include:
– Fully automated loading and unloading of cable reels, including heavy-duty reels up to 1524mm.
– Simple reel size changes with just one recipe adjustment—no manual reset required.
– Reduced manual labor, significantly lowering operator fatigue and safety risks.
– Increased production output by 30–50%, optimizing overall operational efficiency.
– Dynamic swinging pintles for precise cable laying, ensuring high-quality results every time.
– Integrated semi-automatic stretch wrapping with predefined recipes for consistent and secure packaging.
With the launch of the Auto Loader “AL60”, Windak provides a robust, automated solution that empowers cable manufacturers to enhance productivity, streamline operations, and create safer working environments.
