Functional Description

The FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 is a dedicated actuator for use in unwinding and rewind stations.

The stepper motor-equipped drive is powerful and simple in its application. The used technology is clean. Especially when used in the food and pharmaceutical packaging industry the FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 has huge advantages compared to hydraulic drives. The FMS-winderGLIDE is designed around an accurate spindle and ball screw which makes the device very precise. The easily accessible connector and its space-saving design make the FMS actuator very suitable for upgrading existing installations.
