New cutting and feeding machine from Davis-Standard

pulled out of the accumulator, enabling the operator to affix the end of the cable to an empty reel after being cut. Pneumatic clamping during take-up changeover is delivered via a helper caterpillar. The caterpillar pulls the cable from the accumulator, transferring it from one take-up to the other. Design advantages include adjustable

vertical and horizontal guiding rollers at the inlet and outlet sides of the machine, and adjustable upper and lower belts on pneumatic cylinders with pressure rollers. An AC gear motor delivers power with an automatic ‘off’ feature when the winding drives are activated.

TO support low voltage wire and cable processes for insulating applications, Davis-Standard has introduced a new cutting and feeding machine. Designed for efficiency, this unit facilitates timely transfers from one take-up to the other, while minimising operator involvement. This expedites the take-up reel change process during insulation and enables wire and cable manufacturers to boost outputs. “This machine features a deflection pulley arrangement and helper caterpillar with a cutting system to streamline the insulation process and ensure quality,” said John Zachow, vice president. pulley arrangement sits between two portal take-ups. It features pulleys for round cables with integrated clamping, feeding and cutting devices. The machine’s deflection
