The unwind, which also works as a rewind unit, features a cantilever design. Azco says users can go from unwind to rewind by changing the direction, torque and speed, which is controlled via the HMI color touch screen. The unit is compact in design with easy mounting. An optional air shaft can be included. The machine is said to be low maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep.
