The purchase of a new swivel bending machine will allow UK firm RG Attachments to form a variety of shapes from large sheet metal. This task had previously been unavailable for the company who will find the machine especially useful in the primary stages of Tapeformer production, where large metal sheets need to be chopped and formed into smaller, more manageable pieces. The new purchase will allow a higher quality of Tapeformer to be produced, especially for larger cable sizes. RG has been producing Tapeformers for more than 25 years, and they are used by cable manufacturers to fold a variety of insulating material around cable cores before entering the final jacketing stage. They can be used with many insulating tapes including Mylar, paper and metalised foils and can insulate a wide range of cables including LAN, power, telephone, communication and automotive cable. The Tapeformer is positioned just before the extruder head and guarantees precision folds. Newmachine boost for RG Attachments
