Our Dancer SLM 15 is used for low voltage, fiber optic and telecom cable production.
The dancer adjusts the speed of a take-up or pay-off to maintain constant cable tension. It is provided with an accumulating function to allow high line speed. The dancer arm is equipped with one set of movable wheels and second set of fixed wheels which are mounted on a floor stand.
The dancer arm is provided with an extra wheel for running bigger cables without the accumulator. The dancer is provided with a sledge device under the base plate which enables sideway adjusting when bypassing the accumulator.
The option for basic dancer. The dancer is provided with a sledge device under the base plate which enable the sideway relocation.| Reel flange diameter (mm) | 300-510 or 400-630 |

When thinking about sustainability in the cable industry, Maillefer considers where we can have the most impact on carbon footprint. Our own actions as an equipment provider are clearly modest compared to the effects we can have on the cable manufacturing end. In cable production, the materials processed during the extrusion phase easily represents 95% of the carbon footprint generated. This is because cable making consumes much material. At Maillefer, we can have the biggest impact by helping our cable-making customers achieve their sustainability goals. Our shared goal is to make more with less. Read more
