Cable processing machines - Import export

The AM 3000 range of cable processing machines are distinguished by cutting and haul-off power and their convincing modular, robust and long-life construction for continuous industrial working. There are different models with different cutting powers and specifications. To match the processing requirements, numerous knife contours and technologies are available: The patented „ double-knife system“ facilitates different processing in a single working pass, the circumferential rotary technology offers exact circular cutting for cables with very thin or rigid outer insulation cover and for co-axial cables. Every model is equipped as standard with a full set of interfaces for peripheral equipment and IT integration. The machines can easily be converted into complete production lines, thus further increasing the process automation.

Metzner has developed a fully automatic processing machine with outstanding cutting quality and great length accuracy for steel cable wires of up to 20 mm diameter. The steel cable wires are fed by a motorised feeding device in combination with a contact-free loop control. Then, program-controlled and positionally accurate marking tapes are applied to the steel cable – with a cycle time of less than two seconds. In addition, a wax printer marks all the fastening and processing points that will be required for subsequent processing. This labelling method is carried out in a continuous process. The cut is then made using a special cutting process. Precise length accuracy is achieved by a special laser measuring system. A material stacker with a storage area of up to 12 metres ensures that the steel cable wires are deposited in an orderly manner. All cut steel rope can be stored and sorted according to length to allow it to be removed at a later point.

The cable processing machines in the AM 3800 range are characterised by their outstanding cutting and haul-off power and their modular, robust and long-life construction for continuous use in industrial applications. These machines outstandingly combine power and versatility. Equipped with cutting power for cables up to 70 mm sectionand 20 mm diameter, they are the ideal solution for an unusually wide spectrum of applications. Depending o the processing demands, numerous knife contours and technologies are available: the patented double-knife system allows different processes to be performed in a single working pass. The circumferential rotary cut offers an exact cutting round cables with very thin or tough insulation outer cover.

The EM 600 can integrate up to six successive process tools in one single station. After insertion, the cable remains in a fixed position while the tools move towards the cable to provide optimum protection for the HV cable wires. The total cycle time of an EM 600 station is approx. 35 seconds for all operations of this station, with a total capacity of approx. 400,000 cable ends per year.

The Metzner AM 1000 is a sensation among the tabletop units. The automatic cutting and stripping machine processes cables, strands and wires up to 9 mm diameter and 6mm² cable cross-section with a special cutting and pull-off force (optional 10 mm², depending on material). The presettings are conveniently made via the modern 12" touch panel, where the operator can define all processes. Thanks to the sensors for diameter and material recognition, the AM 1000 works extremely precisely. Another special feature is the tool-free replacement of guides and rollers. This means that the AM 1000 can be changed over in just one minute. With the extensive interface preparation, the machine can be optimally expanded with peripheral devices and adapts to all customer requirements. The compact design with retractable touch-screen and the low weight of only 28 kg also offer special comfort. This makes the AM 1000 especially easy to transport.

The Metzner EM 300 platform offers further convenience in high-voltage cable processing through a quick change of process tools and faster cycle times. Depending on the requirements, the HV cable processing machine can thus be equipped with different tools for cable processing. This means that the EM 300 can be used for several processing steps and is prepared for a wide range of processes. In addition, with the EM 300 we protect your investment by offering improved expandability that enables “plug-and-play” integration of future new applications.
