Description:

  • Cables are usually supplied with unnecessary and expensive excess material (at least 2-5% safety margin).
  • Reliable and non-destructive measurement directly on the stranding machine reduces the safety margin, generating significant savings.
  • ResTest 8134 avoids cutting samples for the laboratory.
  • Allows rapid results, even at high temperatures and with extremely compacted strands.
  • AESA’s dry heating system drastically reduces the temperature stabilization time.
  • Patented measuring method of ResTest 8134 eliminates the need to insulate the pull-off capstan and winding spool from ground potential, avoiding costly and hazardous modifications.

Key Features:

  • Important Savings in Production:
    • Raw material savings enable pay-back in less than one year.
    • Testing without generating any scrap.
    • Rapid check of production adjustment effects thanks to a short feedback loop.
  • Direct Measurement on the Stranding Machine:
    • Patented measuring method allows reliable measurements directly on the line.
    • No need to insulate the production line, unlike other solutions on the market.
  • Dry Temperature Stabilization System:
    • Fast heating system and stabilization at the conductor’s temperature.
    • No use of coolant or water.
  • Overall Accuracy:
    • Specifications relate to the overall measurement, not only to the micro-ohmmeter.
