Loading of empty spools
STEP ONE:
STEP TWO:
Filament winding process
STEP THREE:
Unloading of full spools
The 3D printing
industry is experiencing significant growth and as printing technologies continue to evolve, the demand for such products is rising rapidly.
Filament manufacturers will need to increase speed and efficiency to meet the demands and growing competition.
FilaPack by Windak Group offers its customers winding and packaging equipment for the manufacturing of filament products, such as PLA and other common filament materials. The equipment is either for direct inline packaging in tandem with the extrusion line or as offline packaging in a rewind line application.
FilaPack by Windak Group offers two systems
• Fully automatic for autonomous running during many hours of production directly onto 200 mm spools. Machine model FilaSpooler FS200-SA.
• Semiautomatic winding primarily used for bulk reel winding on spools up to 400 mm diameter. Machine model FilaSpooler FS400-DM.
ADVANTAGES
The machines are designed for automatic packaging of the filament spool directly in line with the extruder or off-line with a Pay-off. The fully automated FilaSpooler, removes the costly off-line rewind operation, and one operator can cover many more extrusion lines than with a manual spooler/winder at the end of the extrusion line.
This leads to:
- higher output per production hours
- higher line speed
- lowered operational cost
FilaPack by Windak Group series of spoolers ensures the perfect outlook of the filament spool, giving your end customers a high-quality package that smoothly unwinds the filament material.
Automated production processes and high-quality packaging directly translate to a bigger bottom line.
FEATURES of FilaPack FS200-SA
Fully automatic,
single spooling head. The operator loads empty spools onto a buffer infeed conveyor and unloads full spools at the outfeed buffer conveyor.
Spool size
200 mm diameter in varying widths.
Runs in conjuction
with an accumulator allowing for spool changes and precision tension control.
Ergonomic
operator working height.
HMI
operator control for recipe set up or spooling parameters.
Safe
for the operator with a CE Safety certificate.
Sliding
interlocked safety door.
Light tower
and buzzer alarm included.
Alarm
for incorrect diameter from optional test equipment and automatic spool kick out.
Remote
access service support during warranty period than can be extended with a service agreement.
FEATURES of FilaPack FS400-DM:
Semi automatic
operation. The operator loads empty spools into the stationary spooling safely while the second head is winding the material from the extrusion line or pay-off.
Spool sizes
200mm - 400 mm diameter in varying widths
Runs
either as dual strand setup with load cell tension feedback, or as single strand in conjuction with an accumulator allowing for spool changes and precision tension control.
Ergonomic
operator working height.
HMI
operator control for recipe set up or spooling parameters.
Safe
for the operator with a CE Safety certificate.
Sliding
interlocked safety door.
Movable
Fila-Spooler can be moved on wheels or bolted to the floor.
Quick
release of the spool from the shaft.
Individually
traversing spooling heads.
Alarm
for incorrect diameter from optional test equipment and for a nearly full reel.
Light tower
and buzzer alarm included.
Trolley
Optional spool unload trolley
Remote
access service support during warranty period than can be extended with a service agreement.
