Power Cable Production Equipment
Weber & Scher Mfg. Co., Inc., USA, has specialised for more than 58 years in providing equipment and technology specifically to the wire and cable industry. The Company’s area of expertise and core business has been in the manufacture and supply of metal tape handling and application systems. This includes the manufacture of seam welding and corrugating systems for use in the production of power cables. As an ongoing programme for enhancing the technology that is offered, Weber & Scher recently introduced its latest state of the art GATWELD Longitudinal Metal Tape Seam Welding and Corrugating Line for producing power cables having a longitudinally seam welded and corrugated metal tape sheath construction. This system utilises the TIG (GTAW) welding process for welding the two tape edges after being formed longitudinally around the cable core. A series of tools progressively form the metal tape into a tube which is followed by a precision weld box section which accomplishes final rounding of the tube and properly positions the tape edge seam for passage under the weld torch.
A critical component within the GATWELD Longitudinal Metal Tape Seam Welding and Corrugating Line is the Model No. COR-400 Welded Metal Sheath Corrugating Machine. The Welded Metal Sheath Corrugating Machine is designed for imparting corrugations into the welded metal sheath in tandem with the longitudinal welding operation. The combination of the sturdy steel frame design and dynamically balanced corrugating head assembly ensures smooth vibration free operation. All operating parameters can be accurately set to obtain repeatable corrugating results that are critical for the purposes of product standardisation. The corrugating machine, in conjunction with the metal tape supply stand, tape edge slitting system, forming and welding station, tube calibrating unit, caterpillar capstan, etc. also manufactured by Weber & Scher, all combine to form a state of the art system for producing high performance power cables.
