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 240mm2 (500mcm)
or for unilay round strands of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or
compacted, up to a cross section of 120mm2 (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 150mm2 (300mcm).
The buncher can be supplied with accessories including a
tensioning unit, rotating pre-twister and payoff systems.
Technical developments of the competitive DTR 160 include:
A single bow system •
New slip rings eliminate almost 100% of maintenance •
because contact with the slip ring is by optical fibre cables,
not traditional carbon brushes
Power transfer and data transmission up to 12 Mb/s •
Capstan, take-up and traverse inverters are positioned on •
the cradles and mechanically protected
