Uhing has developed tensioning
and clamping systems: U-Clip
(for positioning on rotating and
non-rotating shafts, such as wind-up
and payoff) and Easylock (for rolls,
spools and static applications).
Both systems are designed to be easily
operated with one hand and demand
no special tools.
Full specifications and some typical
applications for both of the new
systems are available on the Uhing
website.

RG Attachments has added an extra-
long Tapeformer to the range.
Developed in response to a specific
customer request, the extra-long
Tapeformer fits inside the centre of a
braiding machine to wrap shielding
around the cable before the braiding
is applied.
Any length or width of Tapeformer can
be manufactured to suit any individual
application.
As an option, Teflon inserts can be used
to reduce tape friction where necessary.
