Cutting the Petig way
For many years Petig has been among
the leaders in the field of hydraulic
cable cutters.
Long before the hydrocut steel cutter
made its appearance in the wire rod
mills of the world, the first cable and
wire rope cutters had been presented
to Petig customers.
Since then a vast family of hydraulic
cable cutters has resulted. The cutters,
which are made in eight sizes, have
differing capacities. The smallest shear
cuts to a maximum diameter of 16mm
while the largest shear copes with a
maximum of 225mm.

Speeding up the armouring process
Steel wire armouring on small cables with a diameter of up to 20mm is a very time
consuming process, as the linear speed is low due to short lay-lengths.
Pourtier-Gauder Group has developed a concentric solution achieving at least
2.5 times the productivity with conventional, single twist machines. The principle
of the TEC 630-SWA machine is based on the ‘concentric multi-wire’ principle
already applied by Pourtier for wire screening.
Customers can test this solution on a Pourtier production line.
