Machines for electric cables and optical fibers
WTM's taping know-how in aeronautic, aerospace, and defense cables
With its 30-years’ experience in the taping processes, WTM designs and supplies machines to many customers worldwide, operating in multiple industries.
Cables for aeronautic, aerospace and defence sectors give WTM the opportunity to enhance its engineering aptitude and offer machines with specific features for special cables. In fact, WTM machines perfectly meet the rigid specifications demanded by leading cable manufacturers in these important industries, and help them meet the requirements they themselves must observe.
These sophisticated cable taping lines are designed to ensure high performance and quality, thanks to the following features:
• accurate cable tension control;
• precise tape tension control;
• in-line or off-line sintering process;
• in-line quality control, using laser gauges, spark testers, load cells, cameras, etc.
In the following video, WTM shows one of its taping machines, equipped with:
• double pay-off unit, with traversing system equipped with dancer and load cell to monitor the cable tension;
• two taping modules, equipped by triple-motorized taping heads, provided by dynamic dancer to reach low and constant tension values, suitable for polyimide and PFTE tapes;
• a 4-zone, infrared sintering oven, with traversing system to automacally open/close a avoid cable burning;
• water cooling system with subsequent air dryer;
• take-up unit, with dancer tension control and traversing movement to reduce the stress on the finished cable;
• laser gauges, capacitance sensor and spark tester, to monitor the whole taping process;
• statistic control system to analyse the cable and the insulation process.
