Machines for coaxial, LAN, data and high-end cables: WTM @ wire 2016

The strong and open relationships that WTM established with customers allow to develop every day equipment that are targeted to solve the most complicated situations.
During these last years, WTM has designed complete wrapping and sealing equipment for TWINAX cables at dimensions that were not yet presented in the marked: 34 AWG.

At the same time WTM has improved the taping line for screening coaxial cables with silver–plated copper thus allowing its customer to reach tremendously high frequencies, that were not possible until few years ago.
Finally, always oriented to the up-to-date technology, WTM has introduced a new single twisting machine with a particular flexibility to produce both high CATEGORY cables and cables for other uses such as: high flexibility cables, signal cables (encoder), cables for robotic industry and suitable for overhead laying ones.

WTM will exhibit at wire 2016 in Düsseldorf on April 4-8. At stand 11D78 you will see:
- a WORKING horizontal line for coaxial cable screening that will be equipped with newly designed single-shaft payoff and take-up units both traversing in two axis, self-aligning and self-leveling, to maintain the cables path absolutely straight. With a technologically advanced torque management the cable tension is controlled in feedback and adjusted in real time. The line will be equipped with the WTM’s VISIO SYSTEM to magnify the wrapping point thus enabling a more sophisticated visual control.

- A second horizontal wrapping module suitable to use PTFE tape which is the most critical part for aerospace cables.
Both the shown heads are equipped with the characteristic DYNAMIC DANCER, developed by WTM, for greater accuracy of the tape tension control. Thanks to their flexibility these heads are also suitable for any other kind of tapes. Another interesting machine shown is a single torsion twisting unit. The particular configuration of this machine allows to produce high category LAN cables such as CAT 5/6/7/7a/8. In addition, thanks to its particular features, this unit can produce also other kinds of precise cables, like: high flexibility cables, signal cables (encoder), cables for robotic industry and suitable for overhead laying ones.

A further important application to discuss is the wrapping of the TWINAX cables. Only in 2015 WTM has sold 9 lines and some of them for cables down to 34 AWG! The quality of such cables, said from the customer, allowed the final user to double the data transmission speed.

Come to see the machines, and feel WTM's dedication and commitment to improve continuously the solutions you are looking for!
