Wire Payoffs

Fine Wire

Fine wire (defined as smaller than .050” / 1.25mm in diameter ) has more critical handling issues to contend with due to the nature of material mass and size than other larger wire sizes.Fine wire is usually supplied in spool form weighing less than 50 lbs

In many applications the use of precious metals smaller than .050” diameter are used to make a large variety of parts. The payoff of such fine, precious, and many times “soft” or low tensile materials can easily cause the wire to snap or stretch due an improper payout method, path, or resistance levels. The straightening of fine wire can be hampered  by not having the proper degree of back tension and direct travel path to the straightening device. The TAK FWPO ( fine wire payoff ) provides those features and several others.

The TAK model FWPO unit has several features that ensure that these wire types and sizes are paid off under precise control to almost eliminate the possibility of breaking the wire. The FWPO is available for trial evaluation.

 

The following are some of the features of the TAK FWPO:                                                                                                                   

  • Low friction ceramic lined plastic “V” shaped roller guides
  • Floating bearing collars on all roller guides
  • Snag sensor & auto-shutdown
  • Adjustable payoff speed
  • Selectable tension springs
  • Adjustable reservoir set point
  • Adjustable payoff height
  • Forward or Reverse 
  • Vertical or Horizontal Configuration

Medium & Heavy Wire

Medium wire (usually larger than .050” / 1.25mm in diameter) and Heavy wire (usually larger than .250” / 6.25mm in diameter ) usually consists of stronger materials with higher tensile values which can accommodate a much more “rugged” method of handling and needing less delicate controls.

Medium & heavy duty wire may be supplied in Spools, Coils, Reels, and Bars. Coils and Reels can sometimes weigh several thousand pounds.Wire Payoffs TAK
