WTM taping machines with predictive analysis and quality control system

Special cables are finely insulated to meet the highest standards, using top-quality materials and precision-engineered machines. Today’s customers seek the most suitable solutions to achieve their goals, focusing on production accuracy and long-term stability. The ultimate aim is to create the best products with exceptional performance tailored to the diverse requirements of various cable application sectors.

In particular, the design of a taping machine cannot follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it must be precisely engineered and customized to meet the specific needs of the customer, ensuring versatility and optimal results. Furthermore, the taping line should provide customers with valuable data to monitor the tape application process and anticipate performance outcomes.

A worthwhile investment is no longer just in the taping unit itself but also in the technological offset that complements it. This added technological edge enhances the machine’s capabilities and supports cable manufacturers throughout every stage of the production process.

WTM provides its customers with advanced tools to leverage 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 following video, you can see a WTM horizontal taping line 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.
