Dancer Magazine
PASSER's Cable Magazine continuously feeds out cable with a preset tension between 1 and 1000N.
In the event of a stop or an unexpected incident in the production line, the magazine provides up to 30 meters of buffer storage. This offers a high level of protection against tension-related cable damage.
The built-in buffer length also ensures exceptional safety against cable breakage or stress even during sudden production stops.
The magazine can be delivered with various frame configurations and adjustment options including angle adjustments and mounting points, customized to the customers specific requirements.

Functions
The dancer magazine is positioned between a master puller and a slave puller. It serves two critical functions:
1. Dancer Function
The system acts as a dancer by regulating the position of the outer wheel to compensate for slack or temporary tension in the cable. The speed of the slave puller is adjusted based on the position of the outer wheel in the dancer magazine. If the wheel reaches the outer limits of its loop function, alarms or potential line stops are triggered, allowing the operator to take corrective action.
2. Buffer/Magazine Function
As the name implies, the dancer magazine also acts as a buffer unit. This function is especially useful for absorbing unexpected production stops.
