pacer wire begins as finely-stranded,tinned copper conduit
feeders guide conductor off the reel,and into the crosshead
PVC compound is used to form wire's insulation
first,resin pellets are added to the hopper
there,it is mixed in a precise ratio with the colored resin
mixture passes into the extrusion machine
here,it is melted to a smooth,flowing consistency
the compound flows into crosshead and over the conductor
crosshead tip ensures compound encases the copper evenly
newly insulated wire enters a water trough to begin cooling
print wheel applies legend with UL and CSA compliance info
the paint dries quickly on the still-hot wire
next,the wire passes through a laser micrometer wire can then be spooled to customer specification,or used in the production of pacer's range of boat cable
micrometer samples wire diameter multiply times per second
micrometer samples wire diameter multiply times per this ensures the wire diameter is uniform
wire continues to cool in another water bath
next,cooled wire enters the spark tester
thousand of volts test the wire as it passes beaded chains,thus ensuring the electrical integrity of the wire
completed wire is now gathered onto large master reels
wire can then be spooled to customer specification,or used in the production of pacer's range of boat cable
finally,completed wire is shipped directly to customers
