Strecker: "The focus this year is on small electric strand butt welders"

AUGUST STRECKER GmbH & Co. KG has been for almost 80 years acknowledged leader in manufacturing electric as well as cold pressure butt welding machines for the wire and cable industry.

In the past, STRECKER has gained a reputation manufacturing big-size welding machines for medium or high voltage submarine cables. Here the tendency is straight to welds without tubes, using dual upset welders with automatic flash removal system. Worth mentioning: the recent development of machines powered by three-phase transformers, reducing the current consumption and facilitating machine installation in the individual cable factories. Progress continues, as it is planned to enlarge the welding ranges for stranded copper up to 1600 or even 2000 mm².

Now, the focus this year is on small size electric strand buttwelders, e.g. types SE 1, SE 2, SE 4 for which there is a continuous demand. These three units cover a total range for stranded copper from 0,08 mm² up to 35 mm² or stranded aluminium from 1,50 mm² to 50 mm², welds being made using ceramic tubes. A typical application would be in the automotive industry for instance, or for electric installations.

With good pricing and shortened delivery times STRECKER will push sales of these units in 2017.
Left behind Atlanta and the participation in Interwire 2017, Strecker is planning to be present at other trade shows around the world in the coming months:

wire Russia 2017
booth C23 / hall "FORUM"
05.-08.06.2017 / Expocentre Moscow, Russland
