Tube Spool Winding Positioner: Eliminated Hydraulic Issues and Increased Spool Yields with Hybrid Linear Actuators

• “Total Solution” consisting of a long-stroke electric linear actuator including drive, control,and HMI in an enclosure. Factory-tuned software to operate the system.
• Integrated an external encoder that was located on the shuttle for position feedback and control.
• The actuator positioned the winder shuttle precisely and adjusted the winder speed depending on the encoder feedback and position of the shuttle.

• Improved spool wind yields by obtaining 10-20 extra winds per drum with proper spacing between the tube winds.
• Met the customer’s requirement to eliminate the HPU and hydraulic cylinders, resulting in reduced operating costs, lower energy consumption, and lower maintenance.
• Improved position control – the ability to move the shuttle smoothly without jarring.
• Complete Kyntronics solution with data tracking.
