ABSTRACT:
A dereeler for spooled strip and wire materials and the like includes a platform shaped to support a spool of coiled material in a horizontal orientation. A motor is operably connected with the platform and selectively rotates the same in a horizontal plane to pay the coiled material off of the spool. A material control post is disposed in a vertical orientation and mounted for axial rotation. A control is operably connected with the motor and the material control post to actuate the motor and uncoil the coiled material from the spool in response to tension applied to the material. A material guide is connected to the material control post for rotation therewith, and is shaped to pass uncoiled material thereover and apply a preselected tension to the material to facilitate smooth material feeding. A variable tensioner is connected with the material control post and generates the preselected tension that is applied to the material, the tensioner being adjustable to vary the preselected tension such that the dereeler can be quickly and easily adapted for use with a wide variety of differently sized spooled strip and wire materials.
