The new Lightning Uncoiler™ is electrically driven and features a high-performance servo drive system. Engineered for both high-speed powered payoff and heavy-gauge drag brake applications, it delivers exceptional control, reliability, and performance.
Unlike conventional uncoilers that rely on friction-based mechanical or pneumatic brake calipers, the Lightning Uncoiler™ utilizes an advanced servo motor to provide precise powered payoff and electronically controlled reverse torque for drag brake operation. This innovative technology eliminates the wear associated with traditional braking systems while providing smooth, accurate, and highly repeatable coil tension control.
When paired with our LaserLoop System, the Lightning Uncoiler™ provides precise coil feeding for high-speed panel rollforming lines operating at speeds of up to 400 FPM. Combined with a traditional nip arm, it also delivers superior payoff and tension control for heavy-gauge applications such as purlin rollforming lines and other processes where conventional drag brake uncoilers have traditionally been used.
Designed to handle a wide variety of coil sizes, widths, and material thicknesses, the Lightning™ E-Drive Uncoiler offers significant advantages, including:
– Precise servo-controlled payoff and drag brake operation
– Smooth, consistent coil feeding across the entire coil
– Reduced maintenance by eliminating friction brake components
– Repeatable electronic tension control for maximum process consistency
– Increased productivity and uptime across a broad range of applications
Experience the next generation of coil handling with the Lightning Uncoiler™ delivering smarter control, lower maintenance, and consistent production performance for today’s most demanding rollforming operations.
