THE Trendseal variable endseal
eliminates the requirement for seal
changes during product changes in all
types of CV lines and decreases
tool-changing times.
Each CV tube is equipped with one or
more endseals in order to keep the
cooling medium in process while the
cable proceeds. Depending on the
cable diameter to be processed, it is
necessary to change the applicable
sealing and support ring sets per cable
type. In order to avoid operator errors
and to minimise product-changing
times, Troester has developed a
variable endseal system, Trendseal.
A concave shaped roller pair, driven by
AC motor, can be easily adjusted to seal
a wide range of different conductor and
cable diameters. The rolls are coated
with a highly resistant rubber compound
to ensure a perfect sealing behaviour in
abrasion-proof design. Vulkollan seals or
silicone lamellas and corresponding
pressure and support ring sets are not
required any more.
Trendseal is used in all types of CV
lines (CCV, VCV and rubber CV lines)
for universal sealing applications
during the production of medium and
high voltage cables. One Trendseal
replaces the conventional endseal
system like single end seal, double end
seal and lead wire seal.
“Trendseal minimises scrap at start-up
and eliminates complex handling and
costs by having only one universal
endseal device,” said Dirk Schmidt,
sales director cable machinery division
at Troester.
“Having approved its capabilities in
long-term operation for more than two
years in several cable plants, it is now
ready for supply in new CV lines with
water and/or nitrogen cooling circuits
and for upgrade of existing CV lines.”

Schleuniger has launched the new
EcoStrip 9380, the latest innovation in
its cut and strip product family.
One of the highlights of the EcoStrip
9380 is that it can be configured with
rollers or belt feeding and the
configuration can be quickly and easily
changed by the operator. The unique
three-position design of the optional
belt feeding system further enhances
the customer’s capabilities. The belt
feeding can be set for normal mode,
roller mode or short mode processing,
depending upon the application.
Thanks to the strip-boost control of the
feeding units, additional stripping force
can be added, if required.
The manufacturer states that the
EcoStrip 9380 is an economically priced
machine with an excellent
price-performance ratio. In terms of
performance, it exceeds previous
models by approximately 20 per cent.
The EcoStrip 9380’s low production
costs are derived from features such as
its design and the ability to process two
wires in parallel. It is also compatible
with a full range of pre- and
post-processing accessories for
pre-feeding, marking (inkjet on-the-fly),
stacking, coiling and tying, which turn
the stand-alone machine into a fully
automatic processing line. Owners of the
original EcoStrip 9300 can save money
by using their current blades and guides
with the new EcoStrip 9380.
The EcoStrip 9380 is a hard-working
machine that is also user-friendly. It is
controlled via Schleuniger’s
standardised user interface with
5.7" colour touchscreen. With the
release of the EcoStrip 9380, this
interface is now the standard across
the entire line of Schleuniger cut and
strip products.
As business grows this
standardisation makes it easier than
ever for customers to expand
capabilities and transition to new,
higher level cut and strip machines
without having to learn a new user
interface.
The EcoStrip 9380 is compatible with
Schleuniger’s wire processing
software, Cayman, as well as the
planning software S.WOP, for network
integration of the machine.
The EcoStrip 9380 is also precise. All
driven axes are powered by
Schleuniger’s proven electronic
platform, Bricks. The machine is
equipped with a high-resolution blade
holder and feeding drive axes as well
as precise guide parts.
