Wire & Cable ASIA – September/October 2009 60
Cabmach, a Mario Frigerio SpA
company, has recently designed,
fabricated and commissioned a
double twist buncher for 1600 DIN
reels.
The machine has been designed to
work at different linear speeds and to
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 maximum cross
section of 120mm2 (250mcm).
Working with aluminium, the buncher
can be used for unilay round strands
of 7 to 19 wires, compressed or com-
pacted, up to a maximum cross
section of 150mm2 (300mcm).
Technical developments that make
the DTR 160 competitive 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
High-speed power transfer, •
auxiliaries and data transmission
signals up to 12 Mb/s
Capstan, take-up and traverse •
inverters are positioned on the
cradles and mechanically
protected
The buncher can be supplied with
accessories including a tensioning
unit, rotating pre-twister, rotating
motorised die holder and payoff
systems.
