New Generation of Electronically Controlled Pay-Off Units
Further development of the proven WAFIOS AHL series ofpay-off units with new options for communication between theconnected machine and pay-off unit.
Available versions:
J LE (light arm, single-pass wire deflection)
J LM (light arm, double-pass wire deflection)
J SE (heavy arm, single-pass wire deflection)
Shortened set-up times thanks to simplified centering stanchion
adjustment and quick clamping as well as quick changeoverfrom right-handed to left-handed rotation.

S Wire deflection with spring strand
for wire Ø up to ca. 4 mm (LE/LM)

S Wire deflection with rollers
for wire Ø of ca. 2-6 mm (LE/LM)

S Wire deflection with deflection roller
for wire/tube Ø from ca. 3 mm (LE/LM)

S Heavy tension arm with deflection
roller for large wire and tube Ø (SE)S Hand-held operating device

S Protective casing for oil hardened
and tempered spring steel wire protects operators from wire jumping off
the carrier plate

Customizable configurations thanks to numerous options suchas tension arm and deflection variants and different carrier
plates, as well as options based on customer specifications forprocessing wires and tubes. Motor brake for emergency stopand hand-held operating device are included as standard. Automatic wire end control is available as an option.
Sophisticated safety concept, CE-compliant according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, including as system in combination with a connected machine and protective fence. Loading
option for fork-lift and crane as standard.
