Description

The range of applications for SZ-stranding and combined SZ-stranding/extrusion has extended significantly. This not only remains the most efficient technology for fiber optics, it has started to capture copper. This paper looks at new equipment that has been developed for improved use in making a wide range of cables, installation cables and building wires. It will show how equipment using high-tech components for important parts such as accumulator, element guidance system and drive combined affects productivity and quality.
