Overview
Through-hole slip ring bth 2586 is a slip ring designed for stretch wrapping machines. This equipment wraps pallets or large objects with stretch film. The slip ring allows the transmission of electrical signals, power or data and supports 360° continuous rotation. It powers the motors, sensors and heating elements of the packaging machine during use, and adjusts equipment parameters by transmitting data from the sensors and control devices.
Main Components of Through Hole Slip Ring
Stator (Fixed Part)
This is the stationary part of the through hole slip ring bth 2586 where the brushes are located. The brushes maintain electrical contact with the conductive rings and connect the rotating and stationary parts. They are made of different conductive materials such as precious metals or carbon graphite.
Rotor (Rotating Part)
The rotor is the rotating part of the slip ring, which is connected to the rotating shaft of the device. It contains conductive rings made of conductive metal. This element and the brushes provide the circuit path through continuous sliding friction.
Bearing
Slip ring bearing supports the rotating shaft and reduces its position deviation during rotation. We also use it to reduce friction between internal components so that the brushes and conductive rings can be in continuous contact.
Housing
This is the outer protective layer of the slip ring, generally made of aluminum alloy and engineering plastics. It protects the internal components from corrosion caused by dust and water vapor. The sturdy housing also resists external impact and external electromagnetic interference.
Functions of Through Hole Slip Ring In The Stretch Wrapper
Support High-Power Operation
Large stretch wrapping machines require high-power heating devices to preheat or heat-seal packaging materials. Through-hole slip rings bth 2586 provide power for them. At this stage, the slip ring connects the signals between the control system and other components to receive control instructions and drive the motor to operate.
Ensure Signal Transmission
According to the preset program, the through-hole slip ring sends instructions to each actuator, and the stretch wrapping machine can realize automatic loading, packaging, and unloading operations. The slip ring also assists the sensor to monitor the tension of the packaging material to keep it at the right tightness without loosening or breaking.
Support Equipment Rotation
For wrapping machines with rotating platforms, the slip ring transmits power to the rotating motor, so that the packaging film can quickly wrap the product from all angles. When the package reaches the required length, the control system triggers the cutting device through the slip ring to cut the packaging material.
Benefits of Using a Through-Hole Slip Ring in Stretch Wrappers
Multi-Channel Design
The through-hole slip ring bth 2586 has a rich 24 and 48 channel design, each channel supports the transmission of 5A or 10A current. It integrates a large number of circuit channels in a small space, which can simultaneously transmit power, sensor signals, control instructions, etc.
Continuous Rotation
When the stretch packaging machine is working, the through-hole slip ring supports 360° rotation. It assists its rotating platform and robotic arm to continuously rotate and move, wrapping the product with film in all directions. Without the slip ring, the equipment may be limited by the wires every time it rotates.
Precise Cutting
The film cutting of the packaging machine is completed by the motor-driven cutting tool. The surface of the conductive parts of the slip ring is ground and polished to maintain smooth electrical contact. They transmit the control signal with minimal attenuation and distortion, cutting the film with higher precision.
Sealed Design
The through-hole slip ring adopts a sealed structure design and is equipped with an O-type silicone sealing ring to achieve IP65 waterproof and dustproof level. This protects the conductive parts inside it, prevents water vapor and dust from accumulating inside, and current from leaking out.
Stretch Wrapping Applications of Through-Hole Slip Ring
Now we learned the functions and benefits of slip rings in packaging machines, do you know their main applications?
Shrink Wrapping Machine
The Shrink Wrapping Machine wraps products by heating plastic film, causing it to shrink and fit tightly to the surface of the product. It can be used to wrap a variety of products, from individual items to box loads.
Turntable Wrappers
When in use, the product is placed on its turntable. The turntable rotates 360° while the packaging material is wrapped around the object to quickly wrap the product. The machine is suitable for goods of various shapes and sizes, especially for palletized goods.
Rotary Arm Wrappers
Rotary Arm Wrappers are often used to wrap large, heavy or irregularly shaped goods, such as building materials. During packaging, the goods are stationary and the rotating arm of the machine rotates around the goods with the stretch film, wrapping the film evenly and tightly around the goods.
