WTM Taping Machines with Predictive Analysis and Quality Control System

Special cables are finely insulated to meet high standards, using top-quality materials and machines. Nowadays customers look for the most suitable solution to reach their goals, in terms of accuracy and stability in production during the time; the aim is obtaining the best product and the highest performance, required in the different cable application sectors.

In particular, the taping machine design cannot be general: on the contrary, it must be accurate and defined according to the customer's needs, to obtain versatility and the best final product. Moreover, the taping line must provide the customer the information useful to check the tape application process and anticipate the performance analysis.

The best investment is no longer just the taping unit, but also the technological offset that accompanies it and enhances its capabilities, supporting the cable manufactures during all the phases of the production process.

WTM offer the customers the possibility to install useful tools to take advantages of predictive analysis and control systems, such as:

• • in-line quality control using lasers-gauges, spark-tester, load-cells, etc;
• • Visio System: the software specifically developed by WTM to magnify the cable, measure its parameters and provide inline statistic data;
• • Scope System: software for data acquisition and further statistical and FFT analysis.

In the video, you can see a horizontal taping line of our equipped with:

• • pay-off with specific tension control solution, related to the cable characteristics, and traversing movement to avoid any stress on the conductor;
• • taping units with fully motorized taping head, equipped with dynamic dancer for an extremely precise tension control and tape laying;
• • capstan pulling unit with sophisticated components to avoid fluctuation on the cable movement;
• • take-up unit with traversing system for a precise cable deposition, to ensure the best final product;
• • integrated Visio System for data acquisition and further statistical and FFT analysis.
