Meeting the Demands of Today’s Cable Manufacturers
Cable manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce scrap, improve insulation quality, and run faster line speeds without compromising product integrity. Responding to this need, Control Metrix has introduced the Smart Temp 280 wire preheater – the latest innovation in precise, closed-loop temperature control for primary cable production.
The Smart Temp 280 wire preheater is a powerful addition to our cable and wire processing portfolio – delivering precise, consistent preheating performance for high-speed extrusion lines. Designed to optimise insulation bonding and reduce thermal variation in production, the Smart Temp 280 ensures uniform wire temperature across a wide range of diameters and line speeds. Its intelligent control features and seamless integration capabilities make it an ideal solution for manufacturers focused on process stability, product quality, and reduced material waste.
Consistent Quality at Any Speed
The Smart Temp 280 maintains uniform wire temperature across a wide range of diameters and line speeds, reducing thermal variation that can lead to poor insulation bonding or defects. This consistency ensures every metre of cable meets the highest quality standards, even in high-speed extrusion environments.
Streamlined Operation
With its intuitive 10-inch touchscreen interface and recipe management, the Smart Temp 280 simplifies setup and changeovers. Engineers can easily adjust parameters, reducing training requirements and downtime between production runs.
Built for Industrial Environments
Designed with IP53-rated protection, the Smart Temp 280 offers robust reliability in demanding industrial settings. Multi-directional heating allows flexible installation – whether your line runs left-to-right or right-to-left – and versatile integration options (Profibus, Ethernet, analog) ensure it slots seamlessly into existing control systems.
“By combining advanced temperature control with ease-of-use, we’re helping manufacturers reduce waste and improve quality at scale.” said John Miller, Managing Director at Control Metrix.
