Penn Elcom expands cable and rack manufacturing in Hastings

Penn Elcom has expanded the capacity of its specialist cable and 19 inch rack manufacturing facility in Hastings, east Sussex, UK, with an investment in new cable cutting and stripping machinery from Schleuniger. A laser etching machine has also been designed and installed for adding logos, letters, numbers and other customisations to aluminium and steel rack panels.

The Schleuniger PF2200 Electric Demand Pre-feeder is a free-standing, electrical pre-feeding machine designed to pull wire and cable from reels and works in conjunction with the MS9480 Cut & Strip machine, one of the most versatile cut and strip platforms available. The two machines combined de-reel the cable drums, cut the cable to lengths and strip according to customer specifications.

The Schleuniger RS2400 is a flexible, fully programmable stripping machine that strips cable inner-cores and produces finishes for soldering, crimping or terminating. It also allows between certain sizes to be processed without mechanical adjustments further speeding up the process, and it can strip wires with various insulation types including Kapton, Fiberglass and Teflon.

To help cut the outer jackets of large multicore cables, Penn’s shopping spree also included the Schleuniger JS8300 Out-of-Round stripper, which is designed to radially and axially slit cable insulation material. A rotating blade follows the contour of the cable and cuts the cable’s jacket. If it’s more convenient, the section of the jacket that is to be removed can be slit lengthwise while extracting the cable. After the slits have been made, the insulation can be removed by hand.

The new cable machines will be used across all Penn’s manufacturing divisions as well as for items that are bespoke manufactured/non-standard, like custom lengths of LED or bay kits for their range of server racks.
