Cable Taping Machine for Dielectric Insulation with ePTFE tape

This horizontal taping machine offers an accurate application of various layers of expanded PTFE tape: after this first step, the conductor with dielectric insulation can be further screened for obtaining a high frequency coaxial cable.
The machine can be equipped with different taping units (up to five) that insulate the conductor with ePTFE of different dimensions, until the desired dielectric thickness is obtained. Each taping head applies tapes (from both spools and pads) with different density and thickness, and the overlapping is determined according with the number of layers required in each specific application.

WTM calibrating systems grant total smoothness and perfect concentricity of the cable after each tape application: dual-axis laser gauges, positioned after each taping unit, inspect the quality of the cable processed.

On request, the machine is supplied with Visio System, our visual inspection system with cameras, which measures the taping pitch and angle in each production step. The system is completed by WTM dedicated software for statistical analysis (Statistical Process Control) and in frequency through FFT analysis of the various production parameters (taping pitch, cable and tape tension, cable diameter, speed, synchronisms, etc.).

Moreover, WTM supplies the technology for shielding with silver-plated copper tape the cable obtained with the above-described taping machine; this further, highly specialized screening machine, is specifically designed for producing coaxial cables for very high frequencies, necessary for aeronautical, instrumental and telecommunications use.

The technical characteristics can be customized according to the specific production requirements of the Customer.
