West Caldwell, NJ, December 6, 2007 : CTC International introduces its Model S-EBL-DSB-ACV Automatic Butt Splicer for Wire & Cable applications.
 
Machine is engineered for splicing a variety of materials, including cable tapes used in co-axial cable production. The unwind system is specifically designed to accommodate traverse wound spools or pancake wound rolls of tapes common to wire and cable manufacture
 
This unique splice mechanism always applies the first tape to the top side of the web, without having to turret the unwinding spindles. This New feature saves floor space and complexity versus traditional butt Splicers.
 
The Splicer Mechanism can apply tape to both sides of the web for maximum strength, or to just only one side if desired. The mechanism opens for easy splice preparation, and it can also be set up to provide an overlap type splice.
 
The driven unwind spindles allow for high speed splicing at low web tension, while maintaining accurate tension control throughout the splice cycle.
 
The machine will be offered to accommodate various roll sizes, line speeds and other process requirements, including CE compliance and an option for splicing in register.
