large production of simple parts has been relocated to lower cost countries. In a resuming worldwide economy, a flexible solution for high volume production is a necessity. Designed to host hard tools like multiple slide mechanical machines, capable of similar cycle time and identical quality with reduced set-up time and minimal adjustment, the Numaslide 05 is the answer.

Pourtier of America is the name chosen by the Gauder Group to promote the sales of the Pourtier product range. The line of equipment includes the company’s successful rigid and planetary stranders, single twist cablers and drum twisters for producing of all types of power cable (low, medium, high and extra high voltage underground, overhead conductors and submarine/umbilical), as well as signal/ instrumentation and large communication cables.
