Independent Machinery Co., Fairfield, N.J., developed a computerized system for traverse winding
exceptionally long lengths of tension-sensitive materials into large spools. The system features
two-position unwind that can accommodate maximum 36-inch-diameter supply rolls slit to width. The
IMC smartwinders software provides an unlimited range of spool shape, size and winding patterns
easily programmed through a touchscreen. The winding position is cantilevered and has a doffing
feature for easy removal of the large spools.
