Product Introduction

Fiber Optic Rewinding Machine is specially designed for fixed-length winding and rewinding of optical fibers. By inputting the target winding length through the interface, it can complete the fixed-length winding and automatically stop without human involvement, so as to realize the production automation and improve the production efficiency.

Product Features

Perform rewinding tasks for 25KM standard fiber transport trays and customer specific spools.

Adopt servo driver to control the arrangement of fiber with high accuracy.

Adopt active fiber pay-off structure in the pay-off part of the take-up spool, which ensures the stability of fiber tension during the whole fiber rewinding process. Tension control accuracy is during ± 2g. (The seller will provide tension calibration once before the equipment leaves the factory, generally set to 15 ± 2g).

High-precision meter gauge to ensure the accuracy of meter length, avoiding the waste of fiber.

Structure and Principle

The machine is divided into several parts: active fiber pay-off system, tension control system, precision fiber arranging system and so on.

The power is provided by AC servo motor (400W).

The fiber arranging system is driven by servo motor to rotate the screw rod, which makes the take-up spool move along the direction of the axis to realize the fiber arranging.

Tension control system, collect the present tension, by comparing the PV with SV, adjusted by PID, and fed back to the pay-off motor, which adjusts the output speed according to the received control signal, making the dance wheel in a relatively balanced position, thus achieving tension stabilization.

The speed of the pay-off motor can be adjusted with the control signal from the tension sensor so that the tension of the fiber is kept at a relatively stable value.

Equipment Operation

Procedure

Press the power button, the machine is powered on, select the "chinese" or "English" interface, then view the main interface on the control screen, and turn on the "Servo" switch.

Click the Setup button to enter the setup interface, and then click the three buttons of "Clear Tension", "Reset Pay-off Spool" and "Reset Take-up Spool".

After the take-up and pay-off spool rail return to the mechanical origin, adjust other parameters on the parameter interface, including " Length", " Speed", "Take-up and Pay-off Spool Width", "Take-up and Pay-off Spool Flange Thickness", "Take-up and Pay-off Fiber Pitch", "Take-up and Pay-off Rail Original Position" and so on.

Back to the main interface, click on the two "Reset" button, wait for the two rails to return to original position.

Turn off the "Servo" switch, fix the take-up and pay-off spools on the machine, and adjust the fiber path so that the oscillating wheel is fixed in the level position.

Turn on the "Servo" switch and press the two "Reset" buttons again to prevent position deviation when the servo is turned off.

Re-confirm the fiber is at the same level with the wheel, which can be adjusted by "", "", and determine whether "Forward " or "Backward ".

After checking, click on the "Length Clear" button, and then click on the "Start" button. The machine starts running. (protective door need to be closed).

Waiting for the machine to rewind the fiber, if the fiber and the wheel are not in the same plane, click on the "Forward", "Backward" to adjust the position of the take-up and pay-off rails.

When the present length reaches the set length, the machine stops automatically and completes the rewinding mission.

/ Control the forward or backward movement of the take-up and pay-off rails before the device is started.

To turn on the equipment.

Slowly stops the equipment, the speed will gradually reduce;

When the equipment alarms, this button can stop the buzzer alarm;

Do not use this button when the equipment is in high-speed operation. If requiring an immediate stop, press the red "Emergency Stop" button on the body of the machine.

/ Switch between forward and backward fiber arrangement, pay attention to the current status of this button before pressing.

Clear the actual rewind length recorded by the device, for the precise display of next time.

/ :Servo switch of the motor; when closed, take-up and pay-off spools can be toggled to adjust the position; when opened, take-up and pay-off spools cannot be toggled, and can only be controlled by setting in the interface. This switch needs to be on when you press the buttons related to the movement of the motor.

To enter the parameter setting interface.

 

Parameter setting interface description

To clear the excess tension, click on this button once the machine is on.

Determines the position of the mechanical origin of the pay-off rail, click on this button once the machine is on. (clicked with the servo on)

Determines the position of the mechanical origin of the take-up rail, click on this button once the machine is on. (clicked with the servo on)

Set the fiber length that need to be rewound, in m. Click the input box, insert number and press "ENT" or "confirm".

Set the rewinding speed according to needs, in r/min. Click the input box, insert number and press "ENT" or "confirm".

Input the perimeter value of the meter gauge wheel, perimeter of the meter gauge in this device is 200mm, which can be fine-tuned to achieve the most accurate.

Enter the width of the pay-off spool, in um.

Enter the flange thickness of the pay-off spool near the side of the panel, in um.

Enter the pitch value of the fiber arrangement, in um, which is generally the same as or larger than the outer diameter of the fiber, e.g., 260um.

Enter the original position of the pay-off rail, in um.

Enter the width of the take-up spool in um.

Enter the flange thickness of the take-up spool near the side of the panel, in um.

Enter the pitch value of the fiber arrangement, in um, which is generally the same as or larger than the outer diameter of the winding fiber, e.g., 260um.

Enter the original position of the take-up rail, in um.

In the setting interface, the relationship between width D, flange thickness H, origin S of the take-up and pay-off rails, and the round trip of pay-off and take-up spools are as follows:

When the machine starts up, the actual position will go back and forth between (S-H-D) ~(S-H), (S-H-D) is the minimum position value, and (S-H) is the maximum coordinate value. When clicking Reset in the main interface, the position of the take-up and pay-off rails will move to the minimum position (S-H-D), and the default fiber arrangement direction is forward.

The origin S has generally been adjusted to a standard position, so it does not need to be changed frequently. If user need to adjust, set the width D and flange thickness H to 0, adjust the value of origin S, click on the Reset in the main interface, the present position will be the origin S, and then observe whether the rubber surface and the corresponding wheel are in the same level.

Handling Precautions

Please keep away from the equipment when the equipment is running to avoid injury;

Do not use fiber with diameter smaller than 170um (including 170um) at high speed (300m/min and above). Small diameter fibers are easily damaged at high speeds. It is recommended to control the speed within 200m/min.

Do not turn off the power while the equipment is in normal operation as this may cause significant damage;

Please check each wearable and fragile part of the equipment regularly;

Please perform timely maintenance on all moving parts, such as rail bearings, guide wheel small bearings and other parts;

Please draw a warning line where the equipment is to be used to avoid injury caused by fiber breakage during high-speed operation;
