Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Conductix-Wampfler provides motor-driven reels for managing power and data cables, air hoses, and fluid hoses in challenging environments like ports, steel mills, and mines. These reels are designed for reliability and easy maintenance, reducing the total cost of ownership. The company offers services such as project consulting, system engineering, and on-site commissioning.
Component Description
The motor-driven reel system includes components like the cable or hose spool, gearbox, drive unit, rotary joint, limit switch, diverter, rollerbox, and cable guide. Various spool types are available to meet different application needs.
Specifications
Reels are available in different series tailored for specific applications:
  • Series C (Compact): Suitable for gantry cranes and theater stage rigging, with travel speeds up to 100 m/min and winding lengths up to 200 m.
  • Series HL (Heavy Load): Designed for ship-to-shore cranes and ship unloaders, featuring modular assembly and travel speeds up to 180 m/min.
  • Series HD (High Dynamics): Ideal for highly dynamic operations like automated stacking cranes, with travel speeds up to 300 m/min.
  • Series LR (Long Range): For applications requiring extra-long travel distances, with winding lengths up to 2000 m.
Spools
Different spool types, including Random Wind, Monospiral, 3-2-3, and Level Wind, are designed to optimize cable performance and lifespan.
Gearbox Units
Various gearbox types are offered to match application requirements, including Type W for compact applications, Type BNA for heavy loads, and Type KHD for high dynamics.
Slip Ring Assemblies and Rotary Joints
Slip ring assemblies are designed for power and data transmission, complying with international standards. Rotary joints are available for hose reels, supporting the transfer of air, gases, or fluids.
Drives - Magnetic | MAG Drive
The MAG Drive features a magnetic coupler that provides high efficiency and low energy consumption, with no contact or maintenance required. It is suitable for harsh environments and operates in a wide temperature range.
Operating Principle
The magnetic coupler generates constant torque, allowing for smooth cable winding and unwinding. The system is designed to prevent cable self-unwinding during power failures, ensuring cable protection.
Specifications
The coupler's torque is influenced by the air gap between the induced plate and the permanent magnet, with a smaller gap generating more torque. The air gap is factory pre-set but can be adjusted on-site. The SMART Drive system with Active Control Unit allows for precise torque management, supporting crane travel speeds up to 300 m/min and accelerations up to 0.6 m/s².
Procedures
Conductix-Wampfler offers comprehensive services from project planning to on-site installation and maintenance. The process includes defining application parameters, assembling the reel system, and performing final inspections and customer training.
Standards and Recommendations
The document emphasizes selecting the right cable for each application to ensure system reliability. Conductix-Wampfler provides a range of cables suitable for various environmental conditions and mechanical demands.
Technology and Features
The SMART Drive system uses a model-based predictive control algorithm for smooth cable control. The system includes features like power recovery during braking and options for handling critical phases like the "Center Feed Crossing."
Accessories and Customization
A variety of accessories are available, including connection boxes, cable guides, and anchoring devices. Custom cables can be designed for specific applications, with options for high temperatures and demanding environments.
Software and Tools
ReelQuote software assists in selecting the best reeling solution by providing access to numerous optional features and designs.
Applications
Conductix-Wampfler's solutions are applicable in various industries, including hazardous locations, mining, and environments with extreme conditions. The document highlights the versatility and reliability of their systems in different applications.
