pitch of 25 to 300mm. Provided with different types of sensors (stretching sensors for each wire, pintles safety laser sensor, and wire breaking optical sensors), the line is controlled via two 15" touch panels for complete parameter setup and setting of the operating mode. The launch of the new electronic planetary stranding lines will be supported by an extensive marketing plan to raise customer awareness of the technology.

with automatic stretching control, one 800kg capstan, and one 800 wap to wap self-aligning take-up. with synchronisation of profibus encoder allows the line to reach a maximum speed of 60m/min with a stranding Multi-motor technique
