New developments in continuous pay-off and take-up equipment

$15.00

In every production line, the ultimate in machine design is, to have a continuously running system. Existing systems feed round or shaped wire through tratment lines, but require the wire to be stopped in the line, in order to change the pay-off or take-up spools or carriers. This causes a length of wire to remain in the treatment line for an extended peiod, while the change is taking place, and upon re-starting of the line, this section of wire is no longer within the specification.
