needs, semi-automatic for moderate volume production and fully automatic for integration into current production lines. The high capacity AM51 opens up new application opportunities with its maximum shot size up to 4 in 3 (65cm 3 ) and cable diameters to 10mm (3/8 in).

FisherTech’s cable termination systems form and join any shaped termination directly to single wire, multi-strand cable, flexible shafting, or wire rope with or without a fibre core in a single operation. The process eliminates use of pre-manufactured fittings and conventional assembly methods. Termination quality and productivity are increased, while manufacturing costs are reduced. Pull-off strength is greater than that of the wire or cable. FisherTech’s tooling ensures close tolerance, part-to-part consistency, and the net shape, flash-free terminations are ready- to-use. Zinc alloy exhibits high strength, dimensional stability and load bearing characteristics, with mechanical properties similar to low carbon steel. High fluidity allows casting of complex, intricate detail, and the alloy is fully recyclable.

Extruder improved in all aspects

▲

The extruder has been improved upon in all aspects, especially the control systems. It is now fully automated in its start and operation and is extremely reliable and accurate, something that ensures closer tolerances and lead savings. The latest design lead extruder is a horizontal, fully automatic, floor standing unit that eliminates the need for a large and expensive foundation pit and is also very easy to maintain. The equipment is often used to continuously extrude long length cables for over three weeks, which equals around 600 tons of lead alloy, to a very high accuracy. Further lead extruder development is constantly ongoing.
