Twin-Head Lacer CT: Double Speed, Half the Footprint

TCS SPOKE

New for carbon wheel production

TCS spoke

Holland Mechanics designed and patented the TCS spoke. It carries a correctly oriented square section that our machine can grip, which is now correctly oriented. The TCS carbon spoke are made by Sapim and Alpina under licence, so you can specify it for your wheels today.

TCS gripper that grips the square of the carbon spoke, preventing torsion and spoke damage

WHAT THE TCS SQUARE DESIGN CHANGES

1

A surface built to be gripped

The TCS gripper closes on the square and on nothing else, so no torsion ever reaches the carbon spoke.
 
2

The nipple turns, the spoke does not

Tension goes in with zero wind-up, on round and bladed carbon spokes alike. No damage, no breakage.
 
3

Held means controlled

With the spoke fixed, the machine can tension, center, stabilize and correctly measure the wheel as one sequence.
 
4

Aligned square, accurate measurement

The square has to face the gripper in the right orientation, that is where the machine engages from, this goes hand in hand with bladed spokes.

The square has to be oriented correctly for the machines to grip and measure it.

AVAILABLE FROM SPOKE MANUFACTURERS

What your line gets

No handling breakage

The build stops putting stress into the spoke that the rider pays for later.

  

Round and bladed

One gripper handles both carbon spoke types, straight-pull included.
 

Tension you can repeat

Tensioned the way the machine intended, not the way the spoke twisted.

  

Automatic carbon Line

Carbon spokes stops being the job only your best operators can take on.

Available on our carbon machines

Robot-OT truing machine
Tensions, centers and stabilizes with the spoke held still.

InLine Lacer, carbon option
Laces carbon spoked wheels without stress on the spoke.

Twin-Head Lacer CT: Double Speed. Half the Footprint.

Why install two machines to increase output, when one can do it smarter?

The Twin-Head Lacer CT is the fastest lacer on the market, averaging 35-42 seconds per wheel, with some operators recording cycle times of under 30 seconds.

With two lacing heads operating in one compact system, the CT delivers the production capacity of two machines while using significantly less floor space, and reducing your overall footprint through lower electricity and compressed air consumption.

With two lacing heads operating in one compact system, the CT delivers the production capacity of two machines while using significantly less floor space. It also requires only one operator to match the output typically achieved with two separate machines.

At the same time, the CT reduces your overall footprint through lower electricity and compressed air consumption, while making it easier to match takt times with the new Robot ANT  in automated wheel-building lines for smoother and faster production flow.

Twice the capacity.
Half the footprint.
One operator.
