Insulation tape wrapping machine for electrical cables - revolves continually around moving cable core providing overlapping spiral layer

摘要

The cable core to be wrapped passes through an aperture in a backplate (8). A tube (19) attached to a flange (11) is driven round the axis (A-X') of the core supported on roller bearings (15) by a cylindrical housing (18). Between the rear flange (11) and a front flange (12), the wrapping tape (T) is wound around eight freely-rotating rollers (13). As the supply assembly (10) rotates around the moving core, a pick-up roller (14) draws tape of the inside of the reeel and wraps it around the core. Variants of the machine have several concentric rings of tape rollers moving at different speeds' ADVANTAGE : Eliminates need to interrupt. Wrapping process to reload with tape.
