AUGUST STRECKER GmbH & Co . KG , for almost 80 years acknowledged leader in manufacturing electric as well as cold pressure buttwelding machines supplied to the wire and cable industry , will feature strand and cable buttwelders in 2017 .
In the past , STRECKER has gained a reputation manufacturing big-size welding machines for medium or high voltage submarine cables . Here the tendency is straight to welds without tubes , using dual upset welders with automatic flash removal system . Just let us mention the recent development of machines powered by three-phase transformers , reducing the current consumption and facilitating machine installation in the individual cable factories . Progress continues , as it is planned to enlarge the welding ranges for stranded copper up to 1600 or even 2000 mm ².
The focus this year is on small size electric strand buttwelders , e . g . types SE 1 , SE 2 , SE 4 for which there is a continuous demand . These three units cover a total range for stranded copper from 0,08 mm ² up to 35 mm ² or stranded aluminium from 1,50 mm ² to 50 mm ², welds being made using ceramic tubes . A typical application would be in the automotive industry for instance , or for electric installations .
With good pricing and shortened delivery times STRECKER will push sales of these units in 2017 !
