"I want to pass along the first bit of feedback that I received on the new binders; it was all positive! The operators…were ecstatic about the last two days they’ve run your product. They relayed to me that they have not had one single breakdown, blowup, or early run-out and are using the cobs down to the last 1/8th of an inch remaining before changing out."

The Customer
General Cable manufactures copper, aluminum, and fiber optic wire and cable products for global energy, industrial, specialty and communications markets.
The Challenge
General Cable sought to improve their machinery efficiencies and reduce downtime due to equipment stoppages.
How We Solved it
We engineered a system of new arbors and thread guides for their production machinery. Then we designed a new maintenance program that created longer run times and reduced machine downtime.
