Wrap Reel Machine, to produce skeins of yarn of a pre-determined length and number of turns for count and strength testing. Wrap Reel is offered in both motor or hand operated models. The system is used for making the lead, used for yarn strength, count measurement, and length measurement. The yarn is spread uniformly in a band of 20mm as the lead is formed. Up to 5 legs can be formed at one time. One of the arms of the reel can be docked to facilitate the removal of the lead from the reel. The number of turns is indicated on a counter. In the case of motor operated wrap reel, a fractional horsepower motor controlled by a pre-set digital counter is provided to give the movement to the reel. An electromagnetic brake is provided to stop the movement of the reel almost instantaneously to reduce the chances of over travel. The wrap reel is mounted over a fabricated thick steel sheet base plate. Bobbins of up to 100 mm diameter and 250 mm length can be mounted on the base plate. The yarn taken up from the bobbins is guided over a hook and is spread uniformly with the help of pigtail yarn guides. The guides move through a distance of 20 mm once very sixteen turns to give a lead of 20 mm width. The standard wrap reel is suitable for making either imperial or metric leads composite wrap reel which can make either of the two types of the lead with the help of an additional reel is also available. Reel of another swift perimeter can also be supplied against specific requirements.
