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.

Explore our newest innovations!

Introducing! The Flexible Tubeless Rim Taper!

This new rim taping machine is designed for fast and flexible Tubeless rim tape application. It allows changeovers between specific profiles in just ~30 – 60 seconds, with a ​cycle time of 30 seconds per rim. It supports multiple tape spools, from 66m and 200m rolls up to 3000m, lowering change-over frequency and supports small and big batches. The Tubeles Taper also includes  a heated valve hole puncture nozzle, ensuring a clean finish for any tape type. Lastly, it  allows programmable tape overlay across the valve hole.

Fastest truing robot on the market! Robot ANT

The Robot ANT (Advanced Nipple Truer) is designed for extremely fast and precise automated wheel truing. It features integrated high-speed wheel stressing and can be configured with 2, 4, or 6 nipple hands, allowing a flexible setup tailored to your production needs. Thanks to its patented hub measurement and clamping system, it achieves tolerances up to 0.1 mm for center, side, and height deviations.

Suitable for 12” to 32” wheels, including fat bike rims, the Robot ANT adapts easily to a wide range of wheel types. Its Direct Drive system interacts directly with each nipple to ensure consistent spoke tension, while the optional Dewind function releases spoke torsion for improved wheel durability and balance. Engineered for speed, precision, and versatility.

NEW! improved Assembly conveyor – Spaceline

Meet our new Bicycle Conveyor Assembly Station, the Spaceline a complete, future-ready solution built for efficient bicycle production. With a fully adjustable conveyor design, it can be placed and integrated easily into almost any factory layout. Every segment is 4 meter, the amount of workspaces and total length can be adjusted to preference. The new construction creates more space for smooth loading and unloading, improving both workflow and operator comfort. Integrated support for electric cabling inside the clamps, enables clean data transfer and allows touchscreen control directly on the clamp. It allows connection to the HMBIKECLOUD as well. With our new height-adjustable clamps, this station sets a new standard for flexibility, control, and modern bicycle assembly. Proven ROI and increase in efficiency.
