Application Range

The PreFeeder 4200 is a free-standing capstan drive prefeeder designed to pull wire and cable up to 25 mm (1.0“) in diameter from reels weighing up to 182 kg (400 lbs.). The speed of the PF 4200 is controlled by the position of the cable loop dancer. The PF 4200 provides a constant supply of cable to downstream automatic processing machines. The PF 4200 can pull cable directly from reels on wire racks or from the optional Reel Lifter / Stand.

The Reel Lifter / Stand is an optional reel loading and lifting accessory that can be integrated with the PreFeeder 4200 to provide a complete heavy-duty cable prefeeding system. The operator inserts the shaft through the reel and rolls the reel into position. Optional centering cones are available for centering the shaft in larger reel center holes. The operator turns a manual lead screw crank to easily lift the reel slightly above the floor, allowing it to rotate freely.
