Digitally Controlled Optical Fiber Winding System


PROGRESSIVE MACHINE CO, INC. introduces our table top Model "RS 100 FO" winding system for optical fiber. This system features both a spooler and pay off. It can be operated from either a standing or sitting position and places such functions as threading, loading, and unloading, easily within arms reach to maximize efficiency.

The conveniently placed control panel offers the digital entry of winding parameters such as package width and material length to optimize accuracy and a state of the art stepper motor
provides pitch control with digital readout in .0001" or 2.5 micron increments.

Speed and tension are managed ultrasonically with a non contact loop detector which provides superior control at minimal tension. 10g-75g. By regulating sophisticated DC drive motors, the system is capable of 600 fpm speeds on a 6" core.

The RS100 FO is an excellent choice for rewind or breakdown applications and the Model S100 FO (spooler only) is frequently used for continuous long fiber spooling or as a single pass winder for quality control of sampling applications.
