" alt="Post Thumbnail">" alt="Post Thumbnail">We’re proud to announce the official launch of the AutoLoader AL60, Windak’s latest innovation in automatic cable reel handling.
Designed specifically to address common challenges in cable manufacturing, the AL60 significantly improves production efficiency, operator safety, and reduces downtime associated with manual reel handling.
From managing heavy reels to frequent equipment adjustments, cable manufacturers face daily obstacles that can impact productivity and safety.
Manual loading and unloading of reels on rewinding systems often slows down production —especially when forklift operators or handling equipment aren’t readily available.
Our solution simplifies this process: by allowing multiple empty reels to be preloaded, the system eases the workload for both the line operator and the forklift driver.
The AL60 addresses these concerns directly, delivering seamless inline rewinding and hands-free heavy reel packaging. Its intelligent automation enables operators to efficiently load and unload reels weighing up to several tons, switch reel sizes effortlessly with a single recipe change, and maintain continuous production requiring minimal manual involvement.
Key benefits of the AutoLoader AL60 include:
- Fully automated loading and unloading of cable reels, including heavy-duty reels.
- Simple reel size transitions with just one recipe adjustment—no manual reset required.
- Reduced manual labor, significantly decreasing operator fatigue and safety risks.
- Increased production output by 30–50%, optimizing overall operational efficiency.
- Dynamic swinging pintles for precise cable laying, ensuring high-quality results every time.
- Integrated semi-automatic stretch wrapping with predefined recipes for consistent and secure packaging.
Whether you’re looking to optimize efficiency, improve reel packaging automation, or support your team with safer, smarter equipment — the AL60 delivers.
