The F1110 wire feed system for fully automatic wire processing machines (Alpha and Gamma) unwinds loose wire rings and wire drums evenly and easily. The intelligent software of the F1110 actively synchronizes with the wire processing machine and thus ensures maximum throughput. The prefeeder communicates with the main machine via EtherCAT and can be controlled via its interface. In addition, the self-learning system automatically adjusts the software parameters and stops immediately upon detection of wire knots and the end of the wire package. The smart wire prefeeder adapts to the type of package, as well as the stability and quality of the wire material. The set-up and changeover time was significantly reduced compared to the previous model: A swivel arm with loading and unloading position is available for easy threading in and out of the wire.

The PreFeeder 1100 is a solid, reliable benchtop, puller prefeeding machine for cable reels up to 20 kg (44.4 lbs.) and cables of up to 15 mm (0.60") in diameter. This low-cost unit is ideal for feeding a wide range of wires and cables off small to medium-sized spools, with a maximum feed rate of 2.5 m/s (8.2 ft/s).The puller feeding system of the PF 1100 enables the machine to unwind cables not only from drums but also from cable racks with several different cables. This ensures a short changeover time.The PreFeeder 1100 features a quick lock cam mechanism for easy cable loading and fast changeover and comes with a standard interface for connecting to a downstream cable processing machine.

The PreFeeder 2200 is a puller prefeeding machine that pulls wire and cable with up to 15 mm (0.60”) in diameter from reels weighing up to 70 kg (154 lbs.). The PreFeeder 2200 features a powerful drive motor for handling heavy reels and wide belts, capable of pulling cables up to 15 mm (0.60”) in diameter.Its linear cable storage ensures a constant tensile force on the cable, regardless of feed speed. This stabilizes the physical conditions on the cable and the downstream processing machine, allowing cables to be processed more reliably at speeds of up to 2.5 m/s.The simple controls and ergonomic height of the control panel make the PreFeeder 2200 easy for the operator to handle.

The belt-driven Prefeeder 3200, with a standard storage unit of 1800 mm, pulls cables from the spools with a pulling force of up to 330N processing cables of up to 35 mm (1.38"). The PreFeeder 3200 puller prefeeding system is available with different accumulator systems. In the prefeeding process, a pendulum arm pulls directly from the reel, eliminating downtime and enabling easy cable changeovers. Optionally, the pendulum storage system can be replaced with a loop limit control for feeding rigid cables and tubes up to 35 mm (1.38") into the processing machine. An additional inlet pendulum arm smooths spool acceleration during feeding. This makes the PreFeeder 3200 adaptable for various applications and cable types, ensuring easy handling and a high feeding rate of up to 2.5 m/s (8.2 ft/s). Integrated circuits ensure safe operation.

The PreFeeder 1000 handles reels weighing up to 20 kg (44.4 lbs.) and cables with up to 6 mm (0.236") in diameter for tension-free prefeeding to automatic wire processing machine. The universal benchtop prefeeder, the PreFeeder 1000, is designed for constant tension-free dereeling of a wide variety of cables, wires, and tubes, with a pulling speed of up to 1.8 m/s (5.9 ft/s). It accepts both cable reels and loose cable rings, making it universally employable. A pendulum arm activates the electronic control system, automatically adjusting the feed rate to match the requirements of downstream cable processing machines. The integrated dancer arm ensures stress- and tension-free cable feeding. With its closed-loop concept, the PreFeeder 1000 integrates seamlessly into processing lines or operates as a stand-alone system. Its standard serial interface for connecting to production machines halts the entire installation immediately in case of any cable feed malfunction.

The PreFeeder 1000 MX handles reels weighing up to 20 kg (44.4 lbs.) and has been specifically adapted for thin wires ranging from 0.4 to 3.5 mm (0.016" - 0.137") outer diameter. The universal benchtop dereeler, PreFeeder 1000 MX, is designed for stress- and tension-free dereeling of thin cables and micro-coaxial cables. It ensures optimal cable transport with an adjustable dereeling motor. An electronic control system, activated with a pendulum arm, automatically adjusts the feed rate to match the requirements of downstream wire processing machines. With its closed-loop concept, the PreFeeder 1000 MX integrates easily into processing lines or operates as a stand-alone system. A standard serial interface connects to wire processing machines, halting the entire installation immediately in case of any cable feed malfunction.

The ads 115 tabletop wire feed model with infinitely variable dereel speed can be flexibly connected to cutting and wire stripping machines for loose rings or flat tape reels. The ads 115 wire feed system is particularly suitable for reels up to a diameter of 400 mm, but also for processing loose rings or ribbon reels. The direction of rotation can be changed as required, enabling the device to not only dereel but also reel or rewind cables. The dereel or reel speed can be continuously adapted to the cable requirements. As a compact tabletop model, the prefeeder can be used flexibly.

The The PreFeeder 2500 is an active dereeler and the ideal feeding system for wire, small cables and tubing of up to 12 mm (0.47") in diameter with a rotating speed of 265 rpm. The PreFeeder 2500 is a simple solution for high production output. The feeding process allows rapid acceleration at various speeds of up to 265 rpm. Because of the active dereeling of the cable wheel the pull force within the cable is low.Available in 40 kg (88 lbs.) and 80 kg (177 lbs.) versions based on maximum spool weight, the dereeler offers quick loading and unloading as well as forward and backward feed. It is easy to integrate and is the perfect addition for feeding downstream processing machines.Feed adjustment is managed through a dancer arm-type accumulator. The PreFeeder 2500 is an ideal solution for feeding a wide spectrum of materials with simple assembly of the required control elements.

With its simple lifting mechanism and powerful, quiet motor, the ads 119 wire feed system is particularly suitable for unwinding medium-heavy reels up to 100 kg. The active prefeeder is powerful and its smooth running properties enable trouble-free wire processing. Changeover is also extremely simple: Wire reels can be changed quickly thanks to the simple lifting mechanism, slow forward and reverse movements and the sophisticated coil tensioning system. Small wire processing machines, such as a Kappa 330, can optionally be mounted piggyback on the ads 119 for space-saving production.

This automatic, low tension wire feed system, F1150 enables the processing of both thin, flexible strands and thicker, tension-sensitive wires such as coaxial cables. Thanks to the highly compatible control system, the F1150 fits seamlessly into a sequential wire processing line and makes a significant contribution to reliable and trouble-free production. The robust design with powerful drive processes wire reels of up to 300 kg carefully and precisely. The set-up and changeover time are extremely short – thanks to the ingenious motorized installation system in all axes, which is controlled by a handheld remote control. The F1150 prefeeder is optionally available in two versions for different wire outer diameters of 18 or 35 mm.
