| ..the machine is hydraulically operated using
manual control valves. It is mounted on a caster base platform.
.. a complete set of dies in 1/4" increments are provided. When installed in the vertically moved head, it surrounds the bottom portion of the broom, just above the tie wire.

This heavy duty model accommodates wire rope
from 2" to 4-1/4". It is also hydraulically operated with manual
control valves.
...the split cable dies are not included in the price of Model 201. They are made to special order only. ...an elevated platform mounting is recommended for the model 201 to keep larger cables straight, adjacent to the machine, as it approaches the socket.

The main portion of the cable is held rigidly into a fixed position by a pair of powerful, clamping jaws. The "die" surrounds the bottom portion of the acid-treated and "broomed" area immediately above the tie wire. |
Operating manual control valves that activate the hydraulic power, the cable die is powered to move upward and compresses the "broom" of the wire for its entry into the socket.
|
The socket is fed manually over the "broom" by the operator as the collar die is hydraulically stepped downward to the desired position to pour the molten zinc or other final preparation.
