Wyndmaster 324 Take-Up from ACS Offers Both Single and Dual Strip Capability


New Haven, IN June 19, 2002

Automated Control Systems of New Haven, IN has developed the Wyndmaster 324, a four reel Automatic Take-up for high speed stamping processes.

The Wyndmaster 324 incorporates four-reel operation with a side-by-side reel design. This design allows the machine to operate with both single strip and dual strip processes. The machine can also function in both overwind and underwind mode. The winding mode is switch selectable, so complete conversion from one direction to the other occurs in less than one minute.

The Wyndmaster 324 can be programmed to operate with varying sizes of stamped parts, and up to one hundred programs can be saved and protected with a password. To provide consistent wind quality for any size part, the winder employs a motorized tangential feeder. The tangential feeder uses horizontal and rotational movement to follow the reel diameter as it fills with product. Thus, the parts are gently transferred from feeder to reel, with minimum travel distance and reduced chance for part damage.

Options available with this machine include programmable product tension, programmable paper tension, high speed/high torque motors, and corrosion resistant materials.
