and insulation phases. The AM 4200 and AM 4400 models offer an insulation stripping head with a total insulation length of 105mm and 120mm respectively, whilst the AM 4300 and AM 4500, with two stripping heads, handle total insulation lengths of 225mm and 260mm. The machines are optimally equipped in accordance with customers’ individual requirements. Every AM 4000 model is equipped with numerous interfaces for peripheral equipment, which allows the machines to be easily integrated in a cable processing line without extra expense.

The newly developed AM 4000 range fromMetzner presents four cable processing machines with precision and speed described as “significantly ahead of other suppliers.” The high performance AM 4000 series is said to process cables up to 17.5mm diameter and cross-sectional areas up to 95mm². Output rates of up to 7,200 cables per hour are thought to position the AM 4000 models amongst the fastest available on the market. This speed is achieved by special processing technology, whereby the cut-to-length, stripping of the cable ends and starts are all performed in one working cycle. The machines are suitable for applications where cables are to be processed in large numbers and production capacity is a decisive factor. All insulation is carried out without stretching or compression of the material. Despite the high processing speeds, the cables are carefully handled with precision during transport, cutting Ofenbau Fritz offers all furnaces, including its top-heated galvanizing furnace with ceramic tank and foundation cooling and the Becker-Fritz continuous wire annealing furnace system, on a local manufacture basis. The company supplies drawings and full technical specifications to enable the customer to purchase the necessary materials from a local source. Ofenbau Fritz delivers only those items the customer is unable to obtain elsewhere and a few special parts. Local manufacture – anywhere in the world

The use of standardised materials makes it possible to manufacture the furnaces in almost any country around the world, and price and transport costs are greatly reduced, compared to a complete supply. Ofenbau Fritz – Germany Fax : +49 2334 42717
