Fibre optic – machinery & equipment
High speed
production
Tensor Machinery has spent over
25 years focusing on equipment for the
fibre optic cable market, from individual
pieces of equipment to complete cable
manufacturing lines ready to produce
cable.
Tensor’s equipment portfolio includes
UV colouring lines, ribbon fibre manu-
facturing lines, SZ stranding, armouring
and tape forming, yarn serving, payoffs,
take-ups and complete jacketing lines
for both indoor and outdoor fibre
optic cables.
Tensor aims to engineer robust equip-
ment that will withstand the daily
demand placed on it by high-speed
production.
For SZ stranding, line speeds of
over 150mpm are achievable while
maintaining an accurate lay length and
reversal throughout the entire run.
Premise jacketing lines achieve over
300mpm on simplex cables and 100mpm
on high-count distribution cables.
With roll forming technology for armour
tape, speeds over 100mpm are easily
obtained without lubrication or heat
build-up in the tooling, even with
narrow tapes.
