The stationary capstan take-up frames are typically used to take-up annealed and galvanized low carbon wire, patented and phosphated or galvanized high carbon wire and annealed stainless steel wire. The system can also be utilized to take-up hard drawn low and high carbon wire. Main advantage of this type of take-up is the possibility to obtain pattern laid coils. This is achieved by rotating at very low speed an inclined turntable, carrying the carrier. The pattern laid package produces significantly increased coil weights and reduces snarly in subsequent pay-off process. Depending on the machine type, the wire can be pattern laid on carriers, drum or catch weight coils.
