corporate news
The purchase of a new swivel bending
machine will allow UK firm RG Attachments
to form a variety of shapes from large
sheet metal.
This task had previously been unavailable
for the company who will find the machine
especially useful in the primary stages of
Tapeformer production, where large metal
sheets need to be chopped and formed
into smaller, more manageable pieces.
The new purchase will allow a higher
quality of Tapeformer to be produced,
especially for larger cable sizes.
RG has been producing Tapeformers for
more than 25 years, and they are used by
cable manufacturers to fold a variety of
insulating material around cable cores
before entering the final jacketing stage.
They can be used with many insulating
tapes including Mylar, paper and metalised
foils and can insulate a wide range of
cables including LAN, power, telephone,
communication and automotive cable.
The Tapeformer is positioned just before
the extruder head and guarantees
precision folds.
With an extensive selection of models
and folding profiles the Tapeformer
is manufactured to clients’ exact
requirements.
