Wire Stacking or Coiling?

Coiling or Stacking - Round or Straight?

After successfully processing wires or cables, the
correct postprocessing equipment will give your
processing line the edge when it comes to managing or
shelving your processed material.

Coiling

Longer wires and cables are often coiled after being
processed if further processing does not occur
immediately as they are much easier to handle when it
comes to transporting, shipping or storing.

There are two types of coilers:

Synchronized cable coilers

Unsynchronized cable coilers

Synchronized Coiling

Synchronized cable coilers receive all feeding
information (feeding direction and speed) from the
processing machine in order to guarantee 100%
synchronized movements of the turntable. They are ideal
for sensitive materials such as Glass Optical Fiber
(GOF) because there is no tension on the cable during
the coiling process.

As with active stacking, the processing machine must
have the proper interface and software features to
control a synchronized cable coiler. All compatible
Schleuniger machines are equipped with these
features.

Unsynchronized Coiling

This coiler type is a simple, cost-efficient solution
to coil non-critical wires and cables in terms of
tension. Normally, this machine simply needs a start,
stop and eject signal that is sent from the processing
machine.

Wire Stacking

Wires or cables that - after having been cut and
stripped - are further integrated into whole wire
harnesses are normally stacked. Stacking means that they
are laid out by a wire stacking machine in a straight
fashion.

There are two different stacking methods:

Active stacking

Passive stacking

Active Stacking

Active wire stackers are equipped with a transport
belt that "pulls" the wire or cable out of the
processing machine once its leading end exits the
machine. This way, the wire is kept as straight as
possible. In order to achieve good stacking results
(mainly when processing longer lengths or very thin
material), the transport speed of the transport belt is
synchronized with the transport speed of the processing
machine.

transport belt system

The processing machine must be equipped
with the proper interface and software features to
control such a stacker. These required features are
already included in compatible Schleuniger machines.

Passive Stacking

Passive wire stackers consist of an eject tube and a
tray beneath it. The wire or cable is pushed into the
stacker by the preceding processing machine.

A passive wire stacker is usually used for rather
short cable lengths and materials that are not too
flexible.
