CTC's
Automatic Core Loaders
are application engineered machines designed to be easily
interfaced with our turret rewinders. They can be purchased
with the turret, or field retrofit at a later date.
Core
loaders are generally used to increase efficiency on jobs
which have short cycle times where hand core loading is
restrictive. Various lengths of cores can be fed. It is
also possible (within certain limits) to design the core
loader to accommodate multiple core diameters.
The
Core Loader is a free standing machine which is place in
front of the Turret Rewinder. Its main elements are a vibratory
feeder bowl to orient and feed the cores, a belt conveyor
to convey the cores from the bowl to the placement mechanism,
and the placement mechanism (a tube) which inserts the cores
onto the spindles. The Core Loader is PLC controlled.
Also
available are Roll Transport Systems. These conveying systems
accept the completed rolls as they are ejected from the
Turret Rewinder spindle. The conveying belt carries the
completed rolls way from the Turret Rewinder to a packing
area. When a Core Loader is used, the conveyor system mounts
on top of the Core Loader.
