A compact gigant
The Mini-Flat Head was created in cooperation with Liser and SLA engineers to meet a growing demand for drop cables, primarily with fiber optics. However, it turned out to be much more…
This equipment (inspired by the Flat model, developed by Liser in the 2000s for large flat cables), aims not only at a more homogeneous mass distribution for drop and flat cables, but also at facilitating the passage of multiple conductors, with a compact design and wide access to tooling during extruder setup.
The new geometry of mass distribution allowed a considerable reduction in the general dimensions of the head, which brought other advantages in addition to the ease of setup, such as reduction in energy costs for heating, agility in disassembly, cleaning and replacement of components.
Another differential of this tooling is its practicality for changing the setup, the tip and die set is assemble outside the head in a cartridge pattern, and its replacement is made quickly and simply.
Due to the high precision, excellent concentricity is possible even with a fixed center, making the operation of this set even easier.
For this crosshead model, tools have already been developed not only for drop cables, but also for mini-flat cables and for multiple independent cables in a single process, significantly increasing the extruder's productivity.
