Fibremax joins ESTA’s growing list of affiliates
March 2022
Since 2009, FibreMax has been the producer of lightweight precision synthetic cables in Joure, the Netherlands by using a one-of-a-kind production process.
All cables are produced with the endless winding technology, an automated process of continuous winding of parallel strands of fibres around two end fittings until the right cables’ strength or required cable EA has been reached.
After programming the required length, the endless winding robot (EWR) computer calculates the fibres and the number of loops required for the specified cable. During the winding process, the EWR maintains an equal tension in all fibres with an accuracy of 0,1 per cent. This equal tension means the cables have a high break load, low stretch, and the lowest diameter possible.
