WTM automatic system to thread cables through vertical ovens

WTM, an Italy-based company specializing in the design and manufacturing of machines and complete lines for the production of high-performance cables, offers innovative and customized solutions for taping, stranding, and sintering.

The autonomous cable threading system developed by WTM revolutionizes the cable feeding process in its vertical ovens, eliminating the need for manual lifting solutions through platforms and ladders. This makes the procedure safer, faster, and more convenient.

Key advantages:

• increased safety and ergonomics for operators, thanks to the elimination of bulky structures such as platforms or ladders;
• fast and efficient threading, minimizing machine downtime;
• consistent and repeatable process, reducing the risk of human error;
• controlled and systematic operation for uniform results.


The device uses a cartesian guidance system and a motorized trolley that carries the deflection pulleys, the threading device brings the pulley group down to an accessible height for the operator. Once the cable is repositioned around the pulleys, the system automatically moves the cable back on top of the sintering oven, restoring the operating configuration without manual interventions.
