"Why Splice every 10 minutes when you can splice once a day or less?"
 
Material spooled on traverse winders can be as diverse as nonwovens, films, tear strips, extruded materials, composites, laminates, foams, pressure-sensitive tapes and even flexible metals.
  Traverse wound spools come in various shapes and sizes.
  Winding patterns include level, taper, reverse taper, magnum and index.
  Slit widths are from .032" to 8".
  Lengths can go from 25 feet to 25 miles.
  A single wound spool can weigh up to 2000lbs.
 

      - Spool winding pattern

A material's unique properties require different spool configurations. IMC's Smartwinder® software stores traverse adjustments for pitch, stroke length and end dwell allowing for optimum winding patterns for a particular product.

      - Spool Density

The lay-on contact, pitch & the rewind tension for a particular material create spool density.

      - Tension Control

Tension is the most critical factor in determining spool appearance and quality. IMC Dancer Tension Controller provides unequaled programmable tension control.

 
These three factors all work together to produce the characteristics of "The Perfect Spool" - accurate tension and traverse positioning maintained from core to full diameter
