TENSION FREE FEEDING

Feeders and loop control systems for an accurate process e.g. from a dereeler

Metzner offers you prefeeders and loop controls, which ensure a tension-free material feed. This makes it very easy to increase the quality of your products if you unroll them manually. Prefeeders and Loop controls can feed the cable from a coiler or from nearly any kind of packaging. 

The electrical driven Metzner Prefeeders pull cables from a passive dereeler or coiler. So, they feed the cable free of tension to an automatic cut and strip machine. The latter sets the pace of the line. With this the prefeeder avoids the strong initial jolt and slippage of the cable in the cut and strip machine.    

Tension-free material feeding with Metzner prefeeders

The feed speed is automatically adjusted by the dancing arm of the prefeeder or an additional Metzner loop control system. 

Metzner prefeeders are also an economic solution for the feeding from heavier spools and reels. They are outstanding easy in the handling and can be used for materials up to a diameter of 35 mm | 1.38″.
