Techna’s Fully Automated Cable Handling Systems facilitate and ease the process of cable handling by including drum loading, cable de-reeling, measuring, cutting, coil strapping and final ejecting in one automated work platform, increasing product throughput significantly, which can lead to significant cost savings in production and time.
We also offer Semi-Automatic High-Speed Winding / Unwinding Systems which include a platform for drum loading, a measuring device and a tension control brake. These semi-automatic winding and unwinding systems can increase performance by up to 50% compared to basic winding / unwinding machines.
