Electrical cable cutting and stripping machine

At the start of a large project for high-speed trains, an Chinese manufacutrer was looking for a solution for automatic cable processing. As well as high length accuracy, the company needed a machine that could withstand the demands of processing particularly hard copper cables of up to 240mm² in continuous industrial production. To increase production and processing quality, the automatic infeed of the cable to the processing machine is a significant element. The cable drums, weighing up to 1000 kg, had to be unwound at high speed but at the same time subjected to low tension to avoid damage to the material. This requirement is handled by the electrically driven „Metzner DR 12.1000“. All the functions, such as for example, the unwinding of the cable, the tensioning of the cable rolls or the raising of the cable rolls are motorised. Most of all, the electrical handling of the heavy cable drums make the whole process more easy. Precise cut-to-length and processing The best results in processing the particularly hard copper cables of up to 240mm² were produced by the „Metzner 5300 HD“. With the „Heavy Duty“ version and its related hardened knives, even the thickest copper cables could be cut to length and multi-staged stripped. The required production controls were provided, thanks to the standard system supervision by the machine. Using a series of sensors, the machine monitors the material infeed, stops the production when there is a material blockage and informs the operator about locating the fault.
