Challenges

Unstable Tension: Loose or overly tight film wastes material and increases rework.
Misalignment: Bundles shift during wrap, causing scratches or dents.
Labor-Intensive: Requires skilled operators, slowing cycle times and raising costs.
Line Bottlenecks: Unsynchronized conveyors and wrap cycle lead to downtime.
Variable Sizes: OD 200–500 mm, lengths 2–10 m demand manual setup changes.
Complex Maintenance: No fault alerts; longer unplanned stoppages.
Safety Risks: High-speed moving parts pose hazards without proper guards.

PLC/HMI Control	One-touch operation; non-technical staff trained in under 1 hour.
Inverter Drives	Adjust speed to match production pace, reducing cycle times and energy use.
Automatic Tension Adjustment	Consistent film tension minimizes waste and secures loads.
Adjustable Overlap	Optimizes protection vs. material use, lowering consumable costs.
Powered Roller Tables	Seamless line integration eliminates manual handling delays.
Photo-eye Sensing	Detects bundle position for error-free wrap initiation.
Safety Guards & Alarms	Enclosed design and immediate alerts protect operators and uptime.
Quick Installation	No foundation needed—install on flat floor and start production fast.
Multi-Film Compatibility	Supports stretch film, paper, VCI wraps, etc., for various protection needs.

Wrapping Process Overview

Feed & Centering: Roller table moves bundle in; pneumatic rollers center it.
Automated Wrap: PLC starts ring rotation; film carriage applies preset tension and overlap.
Monitoring & Alerts: Photo-eye confirms position; PLC monitors tension and stops on fault.
Clamp & Cut: Film is clamped and cut automatically; ring returns to start.
Discharge & Repeat: Wrapped bundle exits; system resets for the next cycle.

The Horizontal Orbital Wrapping Machine for Rod and Bar is designed to provide efficient and secure packaging of long, slender items like rods and bars. With adjustable settings and durable construction, it ensures consistent wrapping performance. Ideal for industrial applications, it enhances product protection and streamlines packaging processes.
