cable stripping machine / programmable

for fully automatic processing of flat solid conductors

Assembly halls require light in large amounts fluorescent lamps are often used for this. A company form the Netherlands which is specializes in the production of light lines, works now more effectively than ever, thanks to Metzner.

Today, fluorescent lights are connected to the mains using solid ribbon cables. The advantage: Once the line is fastened, the lamps can be simply and quickly connected using clips. The individual wiring of lamps is then no longer necessary. Ribbon cables usually have 5 or 7 poles and are produced with a diameter between 1.5mm? and 2.5mm? as continuous material, but without cut-outs for attaching the tubes.

The company required a machine which strips the solid ribbon cables at those places where the lamps are later attached and approached Metzner with this requirement. In addition, a high processing speed and length precision in combination with exact alignment of the coiled solid cables were the central requirements of the customer.

For the company, it is important to individually process the respective ribbon cable. In order to handle this in simple and efficient way, all processing parameters can be called up at the push of a button via a PC program which is connected to the IT-network online. Based on this, the cables are then processed at any length and with cut-outs at every desired position.
