Servo-Controlled Coiler for Tubing, Flexible Profiles

The coiler setup is controlled via an easy-to-follow touchscreen and provides the operator with total control of the entire coiling operation. This includes traverse start and stop position, and includes a “jog” feature for extra fine-tuning. Additional settable features include pitch length, dwell time and total length of coil required to ensure the exact desired layering is always achieved and can be easily changed from product to product.

Warning alarms can be set to alert the operator when a coil length run is near completion and when it is actually completed, enabling operator-free running.

All the settable functions can be saved as a recipe and called up when required, ensuring complete repeatability and taking away any operator influence. Security settings can also be set to ensure settings or recipes are only accessed by authorized personnel.

The coiler is configured to be used either with a dancing arm or sonar loop for tension control.
