Powered strip de-coiler [詳細資料 details]
The KT2000 is a high speed
fully-automatic toroidal core winding machine which incorporates
many advanced design features and which can produce up to
140 toroidal cores per hour.
The machine is automated through
the use of a Mitsubishi Programmable Logic Controller and
includes an integral Argon arc welder.
Manufactured in the UK from
the highest quality components and materials, and through
the application of an advanced design philosophy, very significant
economies are provided in low running costs, high speed operation
and low maintenance.
A unique operating combination
of the winding system and the TIG welder allows the steel-strip
to be joined during a 'core-wind'. This allows short lengths
or previous wound cores to be reused, providing great economy
in the cost of basic strip steel material.
Requiring only semiskilled
operating techniques, the KT2000 allows 'job-changing' to
be performed in only a few minutes, reducing down time, and
providing great flexibility in being able to switch between
high and low volume production runs of transformer cores.
A Wide Range Of Transformer
Cores & Steel Qualities
The KT2000 will operate with
a wide range of steel qualities, producing outside transformer
core diameters ranging from 30 mm to 200 mm with a maximum
strip width of 80 mm. The machine will strictly adhere to
the core winding specifications as it is manufactured to highest
engineering parameters activating advanced electronics in
logic control sequences.
Integral Tig Welder
The integral welder is also
under full automatic control of the PLC and is brought into
operation at the beginning and end of the transformer core
winding cycle. The unit is manufactured to the highest standards,
produces minimal HF interference, uses high-purity Argon gas
and requires only the minimum of maintenance. The welding
plant is heavily screened, and has been selected to complement
the associated engineering standards of the KT2000 to give
the highest degree of reliability.
Transformer Core Production
Speed & Precision
The KT2000 produces high quality
wound transformer cores at high speed and ensures constant
repetition of quality and specification.
The combined engineering advances
in the way in which the strip is cut, shaped to lie flat and
are welded ensures that high-speed production and quality
is combined with trouble-free operation.
The speed and precision at
which the transformer cores are formed centres on the way
they are wound.
The beginning and end of the
strip are automatically cut to form a 'V' with the spot-weld
being placed at the 'point' of the 'V', both inside and outside
of the core. This method only requires one spot-weld regardless
of strip width and gives superb finish with no lifting at
the edges.
Core Output
Note: Production output will
be dependent on various factors, i.e.. The size of the main
donor coil and the speed at which the new coils are loaded
on to the de-coiler. However as typical guide outputs should
be used as follows.

Operator Control Panels
Fast and efficient setting
of the KT2000 is carried out through the two control consoles.
Each selected operation is plainly shown by the illumination
of clear indicator lamps, enabling the operator to be in no
doubt of the machines state. These consoles also feature a
batch-counter, a pressure gauge showing strip tension, a counter
for the strip cutter and a timer for the welder. The layout
and order of the controls and indicators have been arranged
so that new operators need only the minimum of time in machine
familiarisation before quickly attaining high efficiency in
production.
