Worm driven take ups used in continuous patenting, tinning and galvanizing of round wire

$15.00

A series of take-ups are described and illustrated with photographs. These units are used for winding in continuous patenting, tinning and galvanizing processes. Efficiency, safety and economy of the units are discussed.

Description

The document discusses the use of worm-driven take-up frames in continuous processes like patenting, tinning, and galvanizing round wire. These frames, which include individual worm-driven units with anti-friction bearings running in oil, enable precise, uniform tension throughout operations, ensuring higher-quality finishes. Modular design allows different wire sizes to be processed simultaneously at optimal speeds, increasing productivity. The frames are low-maintenance, with features like flexible couplings for easy unit replacement, and safety enhancements. Speed control is achieved via DC motors or AC motors with variable-speed transmissions, depending on availability. The consistent pull minimizes wire defects, and the robust construction ensures durability and efficiency.
