At Loimex, we have successfully completed a catenary cable winding project for the railway sector — a process that requires maximum precision, safety, and control.
The system consists of a high-capacity pay-off unit (6 tons) equipped with automatic tension control, which dynamically adjusts the brake according to the cable and drum diameter. In this way, a constant and uniform feed of the material is ensured throughout the entire process.
The cable then passes through a traversing unit that distributes it with total precision before reaching the final winding machine, where the destination coils are formed. The entire setup is fenced and protected, complying with the highest industrial safety standards.
As this is a high-risk operation due to the stored energy in the windings, the system is fully controlled from the outside through surveillance monitors, avoiding the operator’s presence in hazardous areas. This approach guarantees a safe working environment and a perfectly controlled winding process.
With this project, Loimex reaffirms its commitment to safety, innovation, and technical excellence in the handling and processing of industrial cable.
