Saurer Twisting Solutions will be welcoming customers and visitors at booth 4006, hall 6, from February 25-27 at the Tire Technology Expo 2020. Saurer will be presenting its innovative CableCorder CC5 at the fair. With a complete package of numerous innovations, the CC5 will demonstrate its technological leadership and associated customer benefits.

The Saurer CableCorder for the production of high-quality tire cord is a permanent fixture in the tire industry. The fifth generation of the CableCorder will provide Saurer's customers with decisive competitive advantages: they will benefit from lower energy consumption, a smart spindle concept, modern quality monitoring, improved ergonomics, flexible automation solutions and the integration of the CableCorder into Senses, the Saurer mill management system.

Saurer has further improved the patented energy-saving technology of the latest machine generation with new hardware and optimised software. The CableCorder CC5 is therefore more economical than ever. The optimised thread balloon diameter and reduced spindle gauge cut down space requirements and increase productivity. Online monitoring of the quality parameters reliably ensures the required quality of the tire cord.

New machine components and an optimum yarn path enable high operation comfort and process reliability. Intelligent automation solutions increase the efficiency of package transport thanks to the use of modern automated guided vehicle (AGV) technology. The loading of the machine, removal of the completed take-up packages as well as the supply of the downstream weaving creels are supported by automation technology.

In addition to the basic CC5 version, the new CableCorder is also available in the CC5-TFO version for production of yarns in the two-for-one twisting process and as the CC5-3PLY version for production of symmetrical 3-ply tire cord.
