Telephone Cable Splice Box Gasket Slitter

Creative Automation designed and manufactured a special lathe and carbide slicing knife system to automate cutting operations for a supplier of telephone connection devices. Our automatic slitter precisely cuts into solid blocks of rubber, slicing specifically-sized rubber grommets by removing a sufficient number of rings to match the required cable diameter. The production process is thus streamlined for both speed and consistency, while also being much easier and safer for the machine operators.

Ribbon Former

A manufacturer of transducers required a small system to precisely form foil strips of material for use in their product. Creative Automation designed and fabricated a special tool to perform this delicate operation.

Programmable PSA Tape Precision Slicer

A supplier of pressure sensitive tape had a requirement for a system to slice widths of tape from a master 48 inch “log” to meet their customers’ specific requirements. The system required flexibility and rapid changeover: up to 50 orders were processed daily, and the supplier provided rolls in quantities from 1 to 500. Creative Automation designed and manufactured a fully automatic computer-controlled automatic tape slicer. As each roll is sliced, a separator directs the sliced roll to a receiving point at the end of the mandrel.
