Materials for Cable Processing – Cables, Tubes, Hoses & More

precise, professional and efficient cutting and further processing

Solutions for many industries and materials

Cutting your way to success

Some materials require power to cut, others require care. Accuracy and speed are always in demand. At Tekuwa, you will find suitable cutting machines or lengthing machines for almost any material. These cut for you:

  • Cables, flat cables, data and fibre optic cables
  • Hoses and tubes made of silicone, rubber, plastic or composite materials
  • Technical textiles such as straps, ropes, tapes
  • Steel cables up to Ø 12 mm
  • Sewing thread, nylon cords, wires
  • and much more

What materials do you want to cut? Whether fine and pressure‑sensitive, hard and resistant, or tough and elastic — if we don’t already have a solution, we’ll develop one for you.

Example – Medical technology

The challenge:

The cutting machine must process extremely sensitive materials. The thin silicone tubes must not be squeezed, kinked, deformed or damaged in any way.

Our solution:

For maximum precision, the cutting unit has an exceptionally thin blade positioned at an angle …. This reduces deformation pressure. The blade can also be moistened, and the feed can be finely adjusted to protect the material.

Example – Automotive

The challenge:

In the automotive industry, very different cable types are processed (e.g. high-voltage cables, coaxial cables, stranded bundles). For efficient production, highest precision in length cutting and high cycle rates are required.

Our solution:

With an AC servo positioning drive, we achieve higher dynamics while maintaining precise control over accuracy and speed. The AC servo motor delivers high torque and high rotational speeds. An integrated feedback system continuously measures the motor’s actual position and compares it with the target position. If necessary, corrective actions are controlled via the servo drive. A robust guiding system also ensures the precise alignment of the material.

Plastic hose
Example – Industrial plant engineering

The challenge:

Thick plastic hoses with high material density must be cut.

Our solution:

The cutting machine uses cutting heads made of high quality HSS tool steel. The blade guidance is additionally reinforced. With hydraulic support, the cutting cylinder and high performance guillotine achieve a cutting force of up to 30,000 N.

The right solution for every material

At Tekuwa find the machine that can do everything you need. If we don’t have it in our program yet, we can develop it for you. Challenge us!

Example: Electrical Industry

The challenge:

Woven textile cable jackets must not unravel or fray during cutting.

Our solution:

A fully automatic feeding unit by Tekuwa ensures smooth, tension-free and highly reliable material flow. Both speed and acceleration can be flexibly and precisely adjusted, enabling optimal synchronization with the cutting machine. Accurately positioned, the sharp cutting blade delivers a consistently fast, clean, and precise cut.

Accessories are placed on the table.
Example – Textile industry

The challenge:

Finest nylon cords must be processed. This very thin and flexible material cannot be pushed forward. The nylon cords tend to slip and twist during feeding and cutting.

Our solution

We integrate a Venturi system into the cutting machine: every time the drive starts, air is blown into the cable guide. The airflow gently and smoothly carries the material to the cutting unit.
