For speed regulation of coil unwinders from the SAR series (e.g., SAR 800, SAR 1000, SAR 1250), the linear cable accumulator LSP5000 is the ideal solution. Its compact design allows for optimized positioning between SAR devices and processing machinery.
Cutting machines
Hose cutting machine
SSM60 Touch
The hose cutting machine SSM60 T is suitable for cutting closed and split corrugated tubes, PVC, rubber hoses, as well as other types of hoses with an outer diameter up to 60 mm. It utilizes guillotine cutting (the blade is fixed at a 45° angle), ensuring precise cutting angles and high cutting quality.
The ribbed hose cutting machine WSM60 E Touch
Ribbed hoses are utilized across various industries, primarily for protecting and bundling electrical cables, and also as conduits themselves. A common requirement when cutting ribbed hoses to a specific length is achieving a precise cut at the top of the wave to protect the enclosed cables. The WSM60 E Touch from the WSM series is designed to cut ribbed hoses ranging from 5 mm (NW3) to 60 mm (NW50) in outer diameter, excluding the top wave.
Hose cutting machine SK300 / SK400
Developed as a standalone unit with dual-hand control, the SK cutting unit is specifically designed for processing heat-shrink tubing up to 300 mm wide (SK300) or 400 mm wide (SK400), with a maximum wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The cutting head features a primarily flat surface with a measuring scale and a manually adjustable stop on the left side. Additionally, the SK300 / SK400 is equipped with a pneumatic pressure holder and a pneumatic cylinder with a cutting blade.

Their power allows them to cut dimensionally stable hoses up to an outer diameter of 30 mm and cables up to a cross-sectional area of 200 mm² (copper wires in SG400 V). Material feeding is facilitated by two belts with coatings that can be specifically chosen for the product to ensure reliable frictional contact for precise positioning.
Rotary cutting machine SMM40
The rotary cutting machine SMM40 is designed for cutting materials such as plastic, rubber, heat-shrink tubing, and similar materials in extrusion processes. To evenly distribute pressure force across the material, the SMM40 is equipped with an especially long pull device. The belt gap is adjusted mechanically using a manual wheel. When processed using a motor-driven flying knife cutter that provides continuous pulling, the SMM40 can cut short lengths at high extrusion speeds.
Conveyor belts
The conveyor belt ABB2000
The conveyor belt ABB2000 is used for smooth removal of cut materials. After cutting, the cut material is conveyed either by a uniform airflow or through a sorting gate into a collecting vessel made of VA material, using blowers over a 100 mm wide and 2200 mm long conveyor belt. Of course, the conveyor belt can be manufactured in other lengths as per customer requirements.
Material feeding is facilitated by two belts with coatings that can be specifically chosen for the product to ensure reliable frictional contact for precise positioning.
Delivery belt AL1500 – 15000
The delivery belt from the AL series operates within the process as an electropneumatic delivery system, for instance, in line with cutting machines from the SM15 series or insulation stripping machines. Using the conveyor belt, processed items are transported to the delivery tunnel. When they reach the end of the material, the conveyor belt automatically stops, and the items are directly deposited into a collection container. The open exit section of the AL series delivery container allows for the delivery of items longer than the total length of the container.
