Test preparation equipment for tests to determine the mechanical properties of insulating materials and electrical cable sheaths.

 

The goal is to prepare insulating samples with the same thickness, indicated in the reference norm, to obtain a die cut sample using a puncher.
The insulating samples must be removed from the conductor, using a longitudinal cut following the inner layer of the axis.
The die cut samples will be used to determine the mechanical properties of the insulators and sheaths (determining the breaking and stretching point) and, when requested, the tests must be done after one or more accelerated aging treatments pursuant to the provisions for the single type of cable in question.

Through its collaboration with the most important testing and research institutes as well as comparing notes with customers and scrupulously analyzing regulatory requirements, SIF has been able to develop a product, with particular attention focused on:

  • SAFETY NORMS
  • EASE IN INSTALLATION
  • COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS CEI EN IEC 60811-501:2012, CEI EN IEC 61010-1

The innovative solutions developed through the inventiveness of our Research & Development Team are the equipment’s true added value. Our Team has succeeded in uniting creativity and engineering in order to:

  • ALLOW FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF INSULATING MATERIAL TO BE CUT, PVC, rubber, polyethylene, synthetic elastomers, halogen-free. 
  • SIMPLICITY OF USE
  • ATTRACTIVE PRICE
