Payoffs and take-ups are at the beginning and the end of virtually every wire and cable manufacturing process, and respoolers are basically the combination of the two along with some type of tension control and traversing devices. The fundamental operation of a payoff, take-up or respooler has not changed much over the years, but performance levels, durability and capabilities continue to improve and evolve. Some notable areas of development and innovations are as follows: 1. Improved winding patterns and traverse quality including automatic sensing and control. 2. Improved tension control and guidance. 3. Automated operation. 4. Modular designs. 5. Improved unwinding of products.
