Free Standing, Slaved, and On-board Creels

• Compact design for limited space environments.
• Spools can be independently configured.
• Independent tension control and viewing of each spool.
• Remote operator control through McClean Anderson OCELOT software

Stationary fiber dispensing creel. Spools of fiber are placed onto shelving and fiber is redirected through a series of ceramic eyelets.

• Ideal for center-pull glass.
• Portable stand can be easily moved to desired location.
• Compact design for limited floor space environment.
