Sheath guide tube
Sheath Guide
The sheath guide tube guides and directs the different sheaths from the reels to the pre-wiring machine.
The installation consists of a cable route made up of floor-mounted hangers and guide tubes. Depending on the project, it can include anything from one to several dozen guide tubes to feed different sheaths into the machine.
To guarantee optimum, consistent pre-wiring, the guide tubes must meet precise installation criteria. Their height, distance from the machine, gradients and bend radii are carefully defined according to the installation configuration.

Technical specifications
Installing guide tubes creates a conduit system connecting the reels and pneumatic brake lines to the pre-wiring unit. It ensures smooth sheath travel over long distances. Depending on the project, an installation can include up to around ten conduits. Strict installation criteria ensure consistent, high-performance pre-wiring, and Mecaspin teams make sure they are met.
The guide tubes must be positioned at a specific height above the floor and at a precise distance from the machine. To optimise space, they can run beneath tables or behind shelving, depending on the workshop layout and installation plan.

Key benefits
01. Optimum sheath guidance
The guide tube directs sheaths from the reels to the pre-wiring machine, maintaining a smooth, controlled route throughout the installation.
02. Optimised pre-wiring lengths
Designed for long distances, the guide tube maximises pre-wiring lengths and speeds when correctly installed. Projects may use 1 to 15 sheath routes and 20 to 70 m guide tubes.
03. A workshop-specific layout
Guide tubes can run beneath tables or behind shelving to minimise their footprint. Their height, distance from the machine, gradients and bend radii are engineered for the workshop and production requirements.
