One step ahead in cable taping

medium size flexible cables, for reels from DIN.630 up to DIN.1000, and concentric back-twist feeders with considerably higher performances in respect to all traditional pay offs. WTM also manufactures sintering lines, rewinding lines with in-line quality control processes, take-ups, pay offs, capstans, caterpillars, dancers and accumulators, in-line tapers and binders, longitudinal tapers, metre-counters and other special equipment for the wire industry.

control the tape tension from 30 Newton down to 100 grams. A special electronic system allows direct control of the tape tension in each working condition, even with the most critical taping materials. Spinning heads for yarns are also available with the same precision and capability. A vision system, with a feedback signal provided by a camera, can be installed in all cases where a continuous monitoring and adjustment of the tape position is required during the taping process. The complete range of machines that WTM produces includes a newly developed high speed single-twisting machine, suitable for small and

WTM’s range of concentric taping lines, with horizontal or vertical lay-out, is able to satisfy any request for tape application in the production of special wires and cables, even providing in-line thermal treatment by heating and sintering ovens. Thanks to the extreme accuracy of its technology, WTM proposes taping lines working with rotation speeds up to 3,000rpm, maintaining the precision of a few hundredths of a millimetre in the tape deposition. WTM machines are able to satisfy a very wide range of tape tension control. The machines can be equipped with fully electronic taping heads with multiple motorisations, suitable to
