A global supplier of machinery for the
wire and cable industry, Lukas is
known for its high quality and
precision products. Both standard
machinery and customised solutions
can be provided.
Beside pay-offs, take-ups, rewinding
lines, drawing machines, etc, the main
focus is on taping and spinning lines.
These taping lines are available in
horizontal or vertical versions and are
suitable for many different types of
tapes and fibres, such as PTFE,
polyimide, mica, polyester, fleece,
laminated tapes, metal tapes, paper,
etc.
The high speed and precision is
enabled by a closed loop tape tension
control and precise speed
synchronisation between the capstan
(or caterpillar) and the taping heads.
Depending on the application, the line
may be equipped with a cooling unit
for the taping area, devices for quality
control or an inline sintering oven. The
picture shows a vertical taping and
sintering line for aircraft cables which
consists of pay-off, 2-head-taping-unit
with air conditioning, capstan, vertical
infrared sintering oven and take-up.
The vertical oven is a very space-
saving solution. By using special IR
heaters the power consumption is
reduced to a minimum. These very fast
reacting heaters allow adjustment of
the heating power according to the line
speed.
Lukas is able to provide taping lines
for wire dimensions from round wire
with diameter 0.15mm up to
rectangular wire with cross section
100mm².
Possible application fields are
aerospace cables, high frequency
cables, fire resistant cables, and wires
for generator, motor, transformer and
railway applications.
