technology news Launch of the Cable Count

Count, added: “At the start of the R&D process, we set out a number of targets for Cable Count. “Apart from high levels of accuracy, we wanted to design a machine with a good range of adjustment in terms of cable diameter and operating height and angle.” Cable Count joins another recently introduced machine at H&S that is for hose and tube pricking. Again with the industrial market in mind, it makes use of rollers to guide the tube through the pricking head. This innovation allows for efficient set-up on a wide range of tube diameters. Cable Count sales and after-service in Europe and North America will be fulfilled directly by H&S Engineering, whilst sales in Asia will be through Aerocomp Precision Engineering, an AIV Group company in Bangalore, India.

H&S Engineering has recently launched the Cable Count, a new cable, wire and conduit measurement machine. “Cable Count™ has been developed to satisfy a long-standing demand for more efficient mechanical measuring devices,” said John Stitchman, managing director of the Norfolk, UK-based company which provides precision engineering and fabrication services in the food, medical devices, printing and energy sectors. Cable Count utilises an innovative and proprietary roller box design to smoothly deliver the cable to the measuring head to aid accuracy. It also uses a rack and spur gear arrangement and gas struts to assist in height adjustment. H&S developed Cable Count after extensive research and development, and will support customers with a robust marketing and after-sales service campaign.
