HEAVY DUTY CABLE PULLEY SYSTEM HDLS HDS2
A manufacturer of High Tech cables had a severe problem when changing bobbins for an important production machine.
Because production cables broke regularly when changing bobbins this resulted in major unforeseen production costs for the customer. He was looking for a buffer system that could maintain tension in the cable together with a quiet smooth movement. The buffer length needed to be over 24m long.
