13x14x24 Automatic Flash Cutter 950 Series Custom Designed Machines for cutting to length and fusing the ends of stranded cable in any metal. The Automatic Flash Cutter has a carriage propelled by a DC Motor Drive. On the carriage is a set of fingers which grab the end of the cable and pull it out to a pre-set length. Electrodes are applied adjacent to the cutting point and a heavy current of low voltage melts a short section of the cable fusing the ends, or a mechanical cutting head can sever plastic coated cable or conduit. The machine operates until a pre-set counter turns it off.
Production rates vary with cutting length and material.
Solid state control. Water circulator and tank for use with water-cooled electrodes. This prevents build-up at the end, and results in a slight tapering of the ends on most cable constructions. For use on very fine cables. It shuts off the machine at the end of a coil, or if the cable should break external to the Flash Cutter.
