[0002] The electroplating line is a key equipment widely used in wire products such as steel cord, hose wire, and cutting wire. Most of the traditional electroplating line pay-off devices use manual wheel change, which requires special personnel to watch over the pay-off and perform the operations of accumulating wire and deaccumulating, changing workstations, and welding before the pay-off is completed. The above series of complex operations are strictly required to be completed in a very short time, which makes the workers' care time long and the labor cost investment high, greatly reducing the workers' labor efficiency. In addition, the workers' high-intensity operation in a short time is prone to misoperation, resulting in abnormal situations such as messy wires, buckles, loose welding, and broken wires, which greatly affects the production quality of the wire and the labor safety of the workers.
