Automatic cut and transfer coiler and or spooler
The present invention is an automatic cut and transfer coiler and spooler apparatus, system and method for use generally comprising a rotatable turret with two independently driven spindles thereon wherein the drives for the independent spindles are attached to the turret for selectively rotating the spindles about their own axis independently.
1. An automatic cut and transfer coiler and spooler comprising:
a turret having a front side, a back side, a center axis drive shaft, and said turret is adapted to selectively and independently rotate via a main electric motor direct drive system connected to said back side at said center axis drive shaft wherein said main electric motor direct drive system includes a main servo drive connected to a main servo motor that is connected to said center axis drive shaft for rotation;
a first spindle attached to said front side of said turret and adapted to selectively and independently rotate for coiling and spooling via a first independent electric motor direct drive system attached to said back side of said turret and attached to said first spindle via a first drive shaft having a first hollow shaft gear reducer wherein said first independent electric motor direct drive system includes a first servo drive connected to a first servo motor that is connected to said first drive shaft for rotation;
a second spindle attached to said front side of said turret and adapted to selectively and independently rotate for coiling and spooling via a second independent electric motor direct drive system attached to said back side of said turret and attached to said second spindle via a second drive shaft having a second hollow shaft gear reducer wherein said second independent electric motor direct drive system includes a second servo drive connected to a second servo motor that is connected to said second drive shaft for rotation; and
a master control computer in communication with said main electric motor direct drive system, said first independent electric motor drive system, and said second independent electric motor drive system for selectively and independently rotating said turret, said first spindle, and said second spindle respectively.
