Wire machining - Import export

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.

Unslotted corrugated tubes are used to protect cable wires and cable harnesses. When cutting this corrugated tube sheathing to length, it is important to cut precisely and reliably on the crest of the wave, to avoid forming sharp cutting edges which damage the in-drawn cable wires. Metzner corrugated tube cutting machines of the CT 4000 series process corrugated tubes with great reliability and precision. Thanks to our many years of experience in processing corrugated tubes, we know the challenges that some corrugated tubes present and are well prepared for them. Our wide range of standard equipment ensures the best possible processing of your corrugated tubes. l The Metzner CT 4200 additionally offers an integrated slitting device for automatic slitting of unslit corrugated tubes. For material diameters from 7.5 mm to 40 mm.

Round copper wire made from Cu-ETP1, Cu-OF1 and LEONI Histral® alloys, in bare, tin-plated, nickel-plated and silver-plated, soft annealed. Single wire diameter ranging from Ø 0.05 mm to Ø 0.254 mm. Number of wires used for strands: between 2 and 16 (subject to single-wire diameter). Single wire or multi wire on special bobbins fit for use in braiding machines. The braids manufactured by these machines are used in cables and conductors geared towards electromagnetic shielding or protection against damage as well as serving as a reinforcement.

High-precision silver-plated single wire used as core for coaxial cables. Size range from Ø 0.10 mm to Ø 1.8 mm, manufactured on a specially designed machine. HF wire is characterised by a highly constant diameter, outstanding centricity and an extremely pure surface.
