Howag Ltd. – Bulgaria is has added another new cable processing machine to its list of equipment: a brand-new cable coiling machine by Schleuniger, which has been in operation since November 2024.

The new module is installed as an addition to the existing Komax Kappa 330 work-centre for cable processing. The Komax Kappa 330 can perform cutting, stripping, and printing, and now with the new machine Howag automates coiling and tying.

An interesting aspect in connection with the Komax Kappa 330 is that the first part of the machine, the “Speedy” module, was actually a custom-made solution suggested by the Cutting team.

Thanks to these improvements, Howag Bulgaria now has a complete production cycle with automated feeding-decoiling-cutting-stripping-printing-coiling-tying. In the past each operation was scheduled separately along with re-setting the equipment and required supervision by three people. Now the time has been reduced in half (!), and supervision by only one person is enough.

The Schleuniger equipment is of high quality and easily handles high production loads for cable processing.

Howag Ltd. – Bulgaria has already planned internal training to expand the number of people who are qualified to operate the complete cable cutting line.
