Precision and Flexibility
DigiSpoolers are precision programmable servo motor driven respoolers designed for optical fiber and other fine wires and filaments. Two versions are offered. The DigiSpooler I is typically a tabletop system featuring a user friendly 6″ color touchscreen interface. The DigiSpooler II is a floor standing system provided with a customizable 17″ color touchscreen interface linked to a Windows Pro PC that is available for hosting user programs if required.
All DigiSpoolers have a moving take-up design. This assures that the filament travels in a straight path onto the take-up spool. The result is less twisting of the material, more control over the winding process and neater rows and layers onto the spool. It also produces less stress and side loading when winding delicate materials. The traversing system has standard positional repeatability of ±3 microns. The payoff spool can also traverse assuring a straight path of travel from start to finish. Machines with a traverse on the payoff have full reversing capability.
Features

- Winding pitch is settable between 0 and 100mm with 1μm resolution
- A variety of shaft sizes or chucks for holding a wide range of spool and mandrel sizes
- Most systems include Spool Adapters for mounting a variety of spool sizes without additional tooling
- The winding speed is typically adjustable from 0-400rpm
- Bidirectional and Reversible winding capability
- Several closed-loop tension control options are available with ranges from 5 - 5000 grams (.17 ounces – 11 pounds)
- Stopping repeatability is typically within 100mm for each kilometer wound
- Wire break detection
- Flange Detect option automatically senses and maps the flange locations of each spool
- All contact surfaces are very low friction rollers
- CE-Mark option includes an interlocked safety enclosure, power reset circuit, and appropriate documentation
- 120 or 230VAC operation
