Active and adjustable lubrication system of cutting wheel that making sure that no lubricant gets in contact with the workpiece.
Noiseless manufacturing process.

Precise adjustment/indicator hand-wheel of grooving depth.

Pressure, Feed and Speed rate adjustment of Blade wheel versus cable sheath.

Setups to optimize the work according to the range of cables to be processed:
standard setup to cover large part of diameters,
special setup for Small cables, for Big cables, for Short Cables.

Our sharped cutting blades allow a clean and precise incision so as not to carry metal towards the inside of the cable.
Unlike commercial blades, these blades have a cutting profile optimized for these processes and are made with a material that is hard enough to maintain the cutting diameter so as not to have to continue adjusting the cutting depth.

1. inserts the cable up to the workpoint stopper, tighten the cable chuck and press the two green start buttons
2. the cable will be moved under the cutting spindle and the rotating blade reaches the cable
3. the blade will reach the set groove depth and after a couple of turns it will return up
4. after which the cable will come out of the cutting area and it will be possible to extract it

Workable diameter according to the setup:

• from 1.0mm to 3.2mm   Setup "A" for Small cables   with Accessories
• from 4.5mm to 13mm    Setup "B" for Big cables      with 3 Blade wheels
• from 1.0mm to 6.4mm   Setup "C" Standard Setup   with 1SharpedBlade+2CenteringWheels
• from 3.0mm to 6.4mm   Setup "D" for Short cables  with 1SharpedBl + Special parts

Cable Lenght Limits: The machine has a through hole along the entire length so:

•  for cables with a diameter < 6.5mm there are No limits to the Maximum length and working point
•  for cables with a diameter > 6.4mm we have a Maximum of 38mm from the Head to the working point.

The minimum workable length of the cable is 100mm with the standard machine
 and it can be reduced to 80mm with a rework of cable blocking chuck
 and is reduced to 45mm in the special version for Short cables (Setup "D")
