Technical developments of the competitive DTR 160 include:

Cabmach, a Mario Frigerio SpA company, has recently designed and commissioned a double twist buncher for 1600 DIN reels. The machine has been designed to work at different linear speeds and minimise installation and maintenance costs. Working with copper, the buncher can be used for flexible strands up to a maximum cross section of 240mm 2 (500mcm) or for unilay round strands of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or compacted, up to a cross section of 120mm 2 (250mcm). Working with aluminium, the buncher can be used for unilay round strands of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or compacted, up to a maximum cross section of 150mm 2 (300mcm). The buncher can be supplied with accessories including a tensioning unit, rotating pre-twister and payoff systems.
