Description
This paper is a general overview of the new rod breakdown line for Cu and Al recently introduced to answer the challenges of ever increasing energy costs. This new line, which introduces to the wire and cable business established and reliable technologies already adopted in other manufacturing fields, is capable of providing the end user energy savings up to 30% when compared to existing traditional equipment. Among other technical innovations is the adoption of a cast polymer frame, CNC controls, and torque motors with direct shaft to hub technology.
