For use in insulation and sheathing lines
for cables, cores and conductors, Troester
offers a wide range of machines that can,
it is claimed, increase the efficiency and
productivity of a line.
These include the driven SAB pay-offs
and SAF take-ups.
This winder type is rated for a maximum
line speed of 800m/min. The spools are
raised and lowered by electrically driven
lifting arms which are adjustable to the
spool size, and in width.
Easily replaceable pintles are employed
to accept different spool sizes.

New to the range
Cometo has introduced into its
production range new straightening and
cutting machines. The MTF20 machine is
suitable for the cutting and marking of
tig welding rods.
It processes aluminium, bronze, stainless
steel and carbon steel with diameters 1.2,
1.6, 2, 2.4, 3.2, 4 and 5mm and allows the
marking of both rod-ends at fixed lengths
of 1,000mm or 914mm.
The required cutting length is set by
means of an external touch-screen,
connected to an encoder, whilst
maximum production capacity is 100
pcs/minute for 1,000mm cut length. The
pressure of the feed rollers and encoder
roller can be adjusted by means of
pneumatic pressure devices.
The feed rollers are coated with plastic
material. The encoder roller is in
hardened steel 63HRC. Guides and blades
are in hardened steel 63HRC (carbide
guides available upon request), while the
quick wire straightening opening and
closing system is by means of position
indicators.

For easy handling, the lifting arms can be
separately adjusted on each side.
The winders are driven by motors, which
allow rotation of the spool in both
winding directions.
The control is performed either by
optional dance or accumulator. The laying
of the cables is carried out by a traversing
unit.
Solid machine frames and protection
fences ensure safe and steady operation
and make this machine a reliable part of
the cable line.
The main advantages of Troester SAB/SAF
winders are:
• Low space requirement
• Low maintenance
• Easy operation and handling
• High safety standards
