Large wire cutting

wire and cables that cannot be processed on a laser or other wire marking system.

Spectrum Technologies PLC has introduced itsNovaMaX TM , ameasureandcut systemfor large gauge wire and cable for aerospace, defense, LRS and specialist vehicles as part of the production process for complex electrical wire harnesses.

Wires may be de-reeled from a single de-reeler or wire tree, fed through MaX, and collected in a motorized coiling pan after processing. The pneumatic shear ensures clean, uniform cutting of large gauge cables

Nova MaX is designed for accurate length measuring and cutting of wire and cable with outside diameters up to 15mm (0.6"). The system includes features such as PC control for data management and job setup, and a super-cutter for clean cuts on cables with high conductor densities. As options, a heat shrink sleeve printer and a label printer may also be integrated with MaX to create a complete solution for preparing and identifying cut-to-length

and a controlled acceleration and wire pull mechanism maintains high length accuracy, especially when used with a wire tree. The control system is based on Spectrum’s proprietary CAPRIS Nova software, as is the operator MMI, giving familiarity to existing Spectrum wire marker customers. The ability to download job files for processing on MaX is a key feature, enabling operators to transfer job files quickly and easily, and to select and process jobs without entering details of each wire.
