High Performance, Single-Spindle Coiling Machine
The S320 is REELEX’s next-generation single-spindle REELEX coiling machine featuring a variety of new and upgraded components and state-of-the art industrial design.
High performance buffer is suitable for high performance and sensitive products such as Category 6A and fiber optic cables.
Automated safety door is standard, and rotates out of the way to allow the operator in and out of the machine quickly and efficiently.
Quick-change mandrel sizes range from 4-inches (10cm) to 10-inches (25.5cm) diameter. Typical machines are equipped with a standard 8-inch (20.3cm) diameter set.
A stretch wrap module may be equipped, which automatically wraps completed coils with plastic stretch film.
The proprietary PCB-based G4 control system control system inside the cabinet is mounted flush with the frame, operates on 24Vdc, and offers greater reliance on common, readily-available parts.
High definition G4 HMI touchscreen control system features recipe functions, connectivity options, live maintenance, diagnostics and Industry 4.0 features.
Safety is design priority #1 with features such as integrated safety doors, dual-channel safety devices and ISO best-practices design choices.
A light-contact length counter is standard and mounted atop the buffer frame.
New bladder-style clamp mounted on the buffer frame offers gentler handling of high-performance cables.
Maintenance and reliability is improved, resulting from the revision of key parts, including a new lubrication-free traverse, industry-standard AC drives and quick access panels.

The S320 is ideally suited for rewind-line packaging from a motorized payoff. A high-performance payoff should be used to maximize the output of the S320 and should be capable of quickly accelerating and decelerating a full supply reel.
The S320 can quickly and easily change product types even mandrel sizes.
If you run a wide variety of product types, the S320 can change setups within minutes. The S320 typically packages products from 0.10in (2.5 mm to 0.35in (9 mm) OD.
Reliable and dependable, the S320 is designed for long life and minimal maintenance.
Easily capable of producing a 1,000ft (305m) coil every 60-80 seconds, the S320 is well-suited to a packaging line with a single operator.

The new winding program automatically calculates coil parameters as the coil builds. Eliminates hole slant adjustment and accurately calculates coil diameter in real time with no inputs beyond the rotation of the spindle and the length counter.
Distance between layers in coil and payout hole formation is precisely managed throughout the coil. This provides consistent crossover spacing with no radical changes from layer to layer.
Reduce package sizes and box variations via improved spacing and automatic payout hole management.
Coil density is now managed automatically, and hole size is based on actual coil diameter so that changes in tension are compensated for.
* Coming soon as a no-cost software upgrade
The new G4 High-definition 21-inch touchscreen blends off-the-shelf hardware with unique custom software allowing the integration of equipment control with troubleshooting, on-screen switch and valve status, packaging calculator, multi-language support, recipe-based product selection, networking capability and much more.
A newly designed traverse eliminates the messy oiler system and instead it uses self-lubricating composite (metal-polymer) bearings for a long maintenance-free life.
The REELEX Winding Module used in G3 and G4 controls is now paired with more readily available components ensuring minimal downtime and minimizing supply disruption risks.
Spindle motors are AC and use industry-standard drives. Controls are easy to work on and troubleshoot, with most information accessible via HMI.
New adjustable wire guide offers superior coiling precision, less wear, and has the added benefit of improved twisted-pair cable performance test results.
A light-contact wheeled length counter is standard on all REELEX equipment. This 10-pulse per rotation wheel encoder is mounted to a spring-loaded arm offering consistent yet gentle contact with the cable.

The key to creating precise REELEX coils is controlling the tension as the product is wound. Every REELEX machine includes a specially designed extremely lightweight ring-sheave buffer system to maintain even tension and create a precise wind.
All machines come standard with 15″ sheaves for high performance products such as Category 6, 6A and Fiber Optics.
When used in combination with the G4 control system, REELEX’s UDA dancers feature HMI-programmable tension control via digital air regulator and high-flow cylinder. This means each product can have their ideal tension control map, helping to mitigate the effects of physical pressure placed on the cable at the crossover point. What does that mean? That means high performance data cables stay high performance, with less physical deformities.
Most REELEX machines can be ordered with an automated stretch wrap module which blows plastic stretch wrap film, adds tension and automatically cuts the film. This produces a finished coil that is fully wrapped and is easily handled.
The stretch wrap module is particularly useful for securing stiff, springy or flimsy products that easily can lose coil integrity during handling. Stretch wrap is also useful for securing coils so that they may be packaged at a later stage, or simply to create an extremely low-cost package.
Because the inside diameter of the REELEX coil is determined by the mandrel size, the size and characteristics of a product need to be matched to the correct mandrel and endforms so that payout performance is ideal.
Larger, stiffer products are typically wound on a 10-inch (25.4cm) mandrel, while smaller products use either 4-inch (10.1cm) or 6-inch (15.2cm) mandrel sets. Typical mandrel sizes come in 2-inch increments, from 4-inches to 10-inches diameter. 8-inch (20.3cm) mandrels are standard on all REELEX equipment.
All REELEX machines feature dual-channel safety devices to control hazardous energy sources and prevent unexpected startup
All machines are designed from the ground-up using ISO best practices and conform to CE and UL requirements. This includes the use of safety cages and automated safety doors when possible.
All electrical components adhere to modern safety standards. Use of AC motors and drives and 24v controls reduce safety risk.
Physical safety guards are integral to the machine design, and remove the operator from any risk areas during operation.
In unison with a REELEX-built motorized payoff and buffer/dancer, a S320 line will run up to 750 feet (228m) per minute. At this rate, the S320 will produce up to 40 coils (1,000 ft (305m) length) in an hour depending on operator skill.
