OPGW / FIST production line
THE Machines Yvonand SA designs, develops and engineers ‘in-house’ all optical fibre handling, metal forming and laser welding lines. Components are engineered and manufactured to the highest standards, technologies and precision, resulting in unsurpassed productivity, line performance and end-product quality.
Closed-loop production management and quality systems assure that highest productivity and cost-performance efficiencies as well as world class operational excellence is attained.
Optical Fiber Handling
- Multiple fiber unwind units with minimal traction
- Controlled tension pay-off stations
- Jelly protection units with precise dosing
Metal Rollforming
Our in-house manufactured roll-forming tools use finite element analysis to minimize stress and prevent surface damage. These precision-engineered tools guarantee process stability and longevity, ensuring operational excellence.
Laser Welding
Our high-quality laser welding system includes proprietary orbital seam tracking, ensuring precise results. This system adapts laser power and beam quality to suit specific applications, including long-length cables such as submarine cables.
