Motorized Payoffs

REELEX’s motorized payoff is a high-performance machine uniquely designed with the ability to rapidly start and stop frequently and in a controlled manner.

Heavy duty supply reel handling.

To match the unique variations in line tension caused by the winding process, REELEX Packaging Solutions chose to manufacture its own high-performance motorized payoff capable of providing the rapid response time needed to respond to sudden changes in line tension. REELEX’s motorized payoff is specially designed to handle frequent stops and starts as well as have precise rotational control over large payoff reels.


FAQ: Can I use a non-REELEX payoff with my REELEX machine?

Yes, however you will likely be unable to achieve maximum performance from your REELEX machine. This is because underpowered payoffs spend more time accelerating or decelerating then running at full speed.

To achieve the specified rate of production from your REELEX machine, you must utilize a payoff that is capable of rapidly accelerating and decelerating a supply reel and keep it under control.

If you plan to use a non-REELEX payoff with REELEX coiling machines, the payoff must:

  • Have a four-quadrant regenerative DC drive.
  • Accept input signals from a 1K to 5K Ohm potentiometer at the dancer.
  • Be designed for rapid acceleration and deceleration from stop to full speed approximately 30 times per hour.
  • Have adequate power to accelerate a full supply reel from stop to full speed in approximately 10 seconds.

Heavy Duty Performance

0 to 3,000fpm in 10 seconds.

REELEX payoffs are designed to get the most output from a REELEX machine. Because most REELEX machines (with the exception of the D-1500) must come to a stop at the end of each coil, the entire supply reel must also come to a stop.

By reducing the amount of time required to accelerate or decelerate the supply reel, the overall output of the REELEX machine increases, as less time is spent ramping up or down and more time is spent winding at high speed.

Adaptable

Accommodation for various reel sizes.

REELEX motorized payoffs can accommodate many reel sizes, and weights, and pintle, drive dogs and gearing can be designed to adapt to any reel configuration.

This motorized payoff is designed to handle reels between 24 to 52 inches (610 to 1300mm). For reels smaller than 24 inches, the MMPO mid-sized payoff is suitable.

Precise Tension Control

Always the right speed.

The four quadrant regenerative DC drive applies torque quickly and efficiently to speed up or slow down reel rotation. The drive is fed via signals from the UDA’s laser potentiometer which provides clean, accurate positioning.

As the REELEX machine speeds up and empties the dancer, the position of the bottom sheaves is translated to a voltage reading, which is fed back to the payoff and signals the motors to apply torque and thus spin the supply reel. The sheave run height is adjustable, thus providing a zero reference for the acceleration or deceleration of the payoff.

Safety is Priority #1

Category 4 Safety Devices

All REELEX machines feature dual-channel Category 4 safety devices to control hazardous energy sources and prevent unexpected startup

Designed to the Latest Standards

All machines are designed from the ground-up using ISO best practices and conform to CE requirements. This includes the use of safety cages and automated safety doors when possible.

Safe Electrical Design

All electrical components adhere to modern safety standards. Use of AC motors and drives and 24v controls reduce safety risk.

Physical Safety Protection

Physical safety guards are integral to the machine design, and remove the operator from any risk areas during operation.

Options

Motors

Power to Move.

Multiple motor sizes are available. Typically, the Motorized Payoff is supplied with a 10 HP (7.5 KW) DC motor, however 5 HP (3.75 KW) DC and 15 HP (11.25 KW) are options.

Motor size is chosen depending on the maximum weight of the supply reel. Please contact REELEX to determine an appropriate motor size.

Pintles and Pins

Adaptable.

REELEX will supply pintles and dog pins appropriate for your supply reel configurations at no extra charge.

Please fill out this form to configure your REELEX payoff (or spooler) with the correct accessories. Please note that a delay in providing REELEX with this information could delay order shipment.

Performance

Capable of accommodating supply reels up to 52 inches (132cm) and 3,500 lbs (1600kg) at speeds up to 3,000 feet per minute (900m/min), the REELEX motorized payoff is required in order to achieve maximum performance from a rewind REELEX packaging line.
