Independent Machine Company Driven Spool Unwind
IMC introduces the latest innovation in spooling equipment... UNSPOOLING with Spool-Mate, the first low cost, driven spool unwind with closed loop tension control.
The growing popularity of spooling narrow width material to get exceptionally long lengths on a single package without splicing has created a need for a reliable unwind system for the next step in the process. The unique web path of Spool-Mate provides the same precision positioning as traditional pancake unwinding with the advantages of spool usage. The compact 12" x 12" modular unit is easily mounted to a press or laminating operation and requires just a 220V power source and speed reference signal to follow. The exclusive IMC Dancer Tension Controller has the same adjustable precision tensioning used in the IMC Smartwinders® spooling "cubes". Other features include: AC vector follower drive with a speed range to 250 FPM, core chucks for most core sizes, simple interface capability and a range of mounting brackets for almost any operation. An optional speed interface assembly to simplify set up is also available.
