REEL STANDS, REELS AND EXPANDABLE ARBORS
EXPANDABLE ARBOR
(Figure 10)
The Expandable Arbor adjusts to accommodate coils with 16” to 20” inside diameters by expanding
into the ID of the coil.
THREADED NUT
The threaded nut should always be on the right side of the machine and the tail of the coil should
always be routed over the top and pointing toward the exit or shear end of the machine.
This threaded nut is used to increase or decrease the outside diameter of the arbor. Turning the nut
clockwise will increase the outside diameter of the arbor, and counter-clockwise rotation will
decrease the arbor size. There is a grease zerk in the collar of the threaded nut that should be
lubricated at least twice a year, or whenever grease in not visible on the threads of the shaft.
END COLLAR
The End Collar has two positions.
Position “A” is used for coils with inside diameters of 16”.
Position “B” is used for coils with inside diameters of 20”.
To adjust from one position to the other, remove 2 screws “C” until end collar is free to slide. Slide
it to the inside position for 20” ID or outside position for 16” ID coil. Align it to the respective
threaded holes in the reel shaft. Re-insert and tighten "C" bolts to lock the end collar to the shaft.
LOADING EXPANDABLE ARBORS WITH COIL
1. Using the Threaded Nut, collapse the arbor small enough to fit into the inside diameter of
the coil.
2. Slide the Expandable Arbor into the center of the coil making sure the threaded nut is on the
right and the tail of the coil is over the top and pointed toward the exit end of the machine.
3. Turn the Threaded Nut clockwise until the Support Bars on the arbor are just snug against
the inside of the coil.
4. Using the Reel Set Up Chart, (Figure 10), find the “D” dimension that corresponds to the
profile you are using.
5. Slide the arbor left or right to get the correct “D” dimension measuring from the edge of the
coil to the end of the Support Bar on the Threaded Nut side.
6. Finish by rotating the Threaded Nut clockwise until the Support Bars are very tight against
the inside of the coil. Verify that dimension “D” is correct, and re-adjust if necessary. The
Coil and Arbor are now ready for loading. (see LOADING REELED COIL on page 20)
