The Mandrel assembly is made up of three cast, precision-machined jaws joined to the main shaft. The steel shaft is supported by oversized, tapered roller bearings mounted in a rugged housing. The housing is anchored to a heavy, welded steel base cabinet. Coils are automatically centred by hydraulic expansion of the precision-machined jaws. This combined with the optional hydraulic jog of the material makes Set-Up Quick and Safe for pressroom personnel. Hydraulic capabilities also give the operator the ability to rewind partial coils.
Motorized Reels use a variable speed drive, while the non-motorized models are equipped with an adjustable pneumatic disc brake. Pneumatic pressure arms, to prevent material clock spring during band cutting, are available as an option.
