The launch of the Micro Compact machine for 2021 has attracted sales and interest from companies around the world. The new addition to the range can compact strands down to 1mm in diameter. “The existing range has covered the majority of sizes for compacted strand for many years now,” said sales director Glenn Rika-Rayne. “However, the very fine strands have been neglected for roller compaction. The new Micro Compact machine launched this year aims to cater for this fine strand market.” Roller compaction is used as an alternative to die compaction, providing benefits such as lower heat generation, less surface damage to the wires, and improved deformation of the wires deeper into the strand. The system is designed for simple and rapid installation and operation, with short set-up times. quantities and production costs. This is used to generate quotations to customers as well as bills of materials and machine routings for production. For most clients, CableBuilder Go requires a maximum of two weeks’ implementation time, meaning users are up and running and building financial returns within a matter of weeks.” CableBuilder Go can also protect financial margins, and avoid over-pricing or under-pricing products. It can produce professional and accurate customer quotations, and replaces in-house sys- tems. Product information can be accessed on-demand from anywhere in the world. Mr Huntly added, “The wire and cable marketplace is ever-changing, so having the right tools available to meet these challenges is crucial in today’s market. CableBuilder Go is one of these tools. Designs and quotations can be produced in as little as 30 minutes, giving our customers the competitive edge.” Cimteq Ltd www.cimteq.com
