GIMAX SRL

The primary feature of automatic machinery is that its degree of productivity always remains constant throughout its period of operation, it is not affected by fatigue, or shift changes or pauses that typically identify its human counterpart. GIMAX has been manufacturing fully automatic respoolers for over 24 years. Since the presentation of the first fully automated respooling line for welding wire at the Duesseldorf Wire Show of 1992, Gimax has successfully produced almost 300 of the ROBO series, sold to producers of solid and tubular welding wire (ferrous and non-ferrous) all over the world. Precision layer and random winding No operator required for normal machine operation (1 operator controls 4-5 machines) Siemens control system Touch screen user interface and ethernet connection Regenerative inverter for energy saving

Shortest Cycle Time thanks to: Shortest Ramp times, Fastest Respooling speed, Limited Downtime. The POLI series is by no means an icon relating to past markets, but is in actual fact still a standard for quality, excellence and productivity. Today it stands out among its competitors, and compared to data that emerges from research in similar products that come from developing countries, the numerous advantages the POLI offers are obvious. This implies that the same productivity is obtained with 2 POLIs as opposed to 3 of the other machines, 2 operators instead of 3, one less machine to maintain and one third less of the floor- space occupied! Gimax respoolers have another distinctive feature – since before the turn of the century, these machines have been equipped with systems to recover energy. The respooling process has continuous moments of acceleration and deceleration.

Gimax drum packers will coil welding wire in drums so that when it is drawn out of the drum it is torsion-free (no-twist) complying with the needs of robotised welding equipment. Revolutionary concept – drum remains at floor level so: Vibrator is more effective in settling wire in drum Easier to inspect drum during operation Easier to thread wire through machine Easier to carry out maintenance Compact design for low space occupancy Different types of drums (round or other forms, with or without pallet incorporated) Extractor for effortless drum removal Siemens control system Touch screen user interface and Ethernet connection Video camera 7 inch to see inside drum during operation

The amount of generated heat is influenced by an interaction of factors that include the metal composition, surface preparation, and production equipment. Some of the top features of this machine are the high degree of efficiency in cooling, as well as the perfect alignment of the wire between the capstan and the die-box. The dry drawing machinery can be supplied with capstans fitted vertically or horizontally, and the latter can be either normal or tilted. The initial input diameter of the wire can be as large as 15mm, and the machinery can reduce wire down to 0,5mm, all this depending on the many different wire types or alloys that this line can handle. All the dry drawing benches are manufactured using the most up-to-date technology to meet current industrial standards, which includes indipendently driven capstans, motorized and synchronized by means of a dancer or sensor arm, guaranteeing the highest quality in the process of wire reduction.

The Gimax “TRS” range of non-slip wet drawing units with its independently driven vertical capstans combine most of the benefits of a dry drawing line with a wet one. The result is an example of the most advanced technology available in wire drawing. The “TRS” range is ideal for ferrous and non-ferrous wires. Its reduced footprint, easily accessible parts and components, not only offer cost savings in terms of floorspace and labour (operation and maintenance), but are an important aid in decreasing downtime and consequently increasing productivity. High productivity and a better final wire quality coupled with features such as perfect alignment of wire between die and capstan as well as low energy consumption due to a “state of the art” electronic control of motor and line operation go to ensure one of the most advanced drawing solutions available on the market.

MRV è un avvolgitore rotante che può essere applicato alla fine di una linea di lavorazione o può anche essere fornito come sistema “autonomo” (come in foto). Può essere collegato direttamente ad una trafila o a qualsiasi forma di trattamento del filo (ricottura, pulitura, ecc.). L'MRV può essere utilizzato con diversi tipi di filo (fili pieni di acciaio, fili tubolari o animati, fili non ferrosi) e con cavi.
