Technical insights

Compact rewinding systems for spools up to Ø 300 mm

Lukas manufactures space-saving rewinding units capable of handling spools up to 300 mm in diameter. Designed for flexibility and easy integration, these systems are ideal for operations that require frequent spool changes or have limited floor space.

Rewinding Z2 coils onto smaller spools

One of the main applications is the rewinding of standard Z2 coils onto smaller spools—an essential operation for downstream processes, intermediate handling, or custom packaging requirements.

Automated winding with spool magazine

For high-volume operations, Lukas offers a version equipped with an automatic winder and spool storage. This configuration ensures continuous production with reduced operator intervention, minimizing downtime and improving efficiency across the board.

Smart accessories: split reels and loading area

To further support rewinding operations, Lukas supplies:

• Split reels for holding Z2 coils, enabling quick mounting and secure positioning;
• A dedicated assembly zone for reel loading and 90° turning, improving ergonomics and setup time.

With its modular rewinding systems, Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH offers compact, reliable, and efficient solutions tailored to the needs of wire producers. Whether you're handling Z2 coils or need a fully automatic rewinding station with spool management, Lukas has the right technology to upgrade your workflow.
