cable between the turret-style winding mandrels. This new system operates 20 per cent faster than on the D-2000 and enables the D-2050 to operate at an online speed of over 700 feet (213m) per minute – a 100 foot (30m) per minute improvement compared to the D-2000 and translating to a production rate of over 40 boxes per hour. Other major improvements include an entirely new drip-free glue system, replacement of air cylinders with servo motors in several locations, upgraded safety shielding, improved tension control, non-contact length counter and the integration of Reelex’s G2 control system featuring high-definition touchscreen HMI. These additions and more bring increased efficiency to automated packaging of high-performance data cables, fibre optics and other low-voltage cabling products.

With the Laser Lump 2000 T, the user receives a two-in-one system, which reduces investment costs and leaves more space in the line as only one gauge head has to be installed. Laser Lump 2010 T, for product diameters from 0.2 to 10mm, and Laser Lump 2025 T, for product diameters from 0.2 to 2 mm, are available.

REELEX Packaging Solutions Inc, the creator and licensor of Reelex® twist and tangle-free packaging technology, has formally released the D-2050 automated packaging machine. An evolution of the D-2000 automated packaging machine in use by the world’s established brands in cable manufacturing, the D-2050 brings several patented improvements and upgrades resulting in increased performance, numerous new features and a new model designation. Like the D-2000 before, the D-2050 performs Reelex coiling, tube insertion, cable end retrieval, boxing and gluing operations without the need for a human operator. Numerous improvements to the D-2050 help perform these operations more efficiently, while offering improved overall performance and functionality. Central to the D-2050’s increased performance is a new robotic arm which performs transfer functions by cutting, grabbing and replacing the The Laser Series 2000 T devices are now also available with the new feature of high-speed lump detection as Laser Lump 2000 T. They combine precision of the diameter measurement with a fast and reliable detection of lumps and neckdowns for a perfect quality control. Their usage is especially suited for automotive and installation areas. With 3 x 110,000 measurements per second, lumps and neckdowns are detected on the product surface,
