New Product Announcement:
New Tape Roller Guide Unit with DIAL-IN Angle
for In-Line Taping at the Cabler from DYNAMEX
In order to better control taping in-line with cabling Dynamex has recently introduced a new roller unit (Model TRU2-2) that eliminates the constant readjusting of roller angles to keep the tape running properly. This unit guides the tape up to the point it begins wrapping on the cable, and delivers the tape at the proper taping angle and in a flat unwrinkled condition.. It enables the operator to view the cable fully taped before it enters the cabler. The tape-stand (which Dynamex also offers) can be positioned anywhere, and feed the tape from any direction, in front or behind the wire line. The taping angle is predetermined by the cable parameters and is easily pre-set by the operator utilizing the built-in scale and pointer. The angles are marked in L/D values (lay to OD ratio) that are easy for the operator or the foreman to determine. The unit can be used for LH & RH twist cables. It fits on the lead-in rail that is supplied with Dynamex cablers. It can also be made to fit on the mounting surfaces available for other cablers. A die holder is provided with the roller unit to assure consistent smooth taping and prevent the cable from bowing out due to tape tension. A non metallic (home-made) die can be used in the die holder and preferable the die can be of a split design, so it can changed without cutting the cable. Two units can be used in tandem for applications requiring two tapes with or without drain.
