Wiring, Streamlined
Automated Control Cabinet Wiring
Control cabinet manufacturing involves cutting, stripping, terminating and labeling large numbers of wires to precise specifications. The Metzner Triathlon series automates these processes and integrates production data for seamless workflow management. Finished wires are then delivered in the correct wiring sequence, bundled or via a rail system, ready for efficient assembly.
Compact & Flexible
Triathlon S
12-wire capacity · 5 wire rails · 11-second cycle time
The Triathlon S automates wire processing for control cabinet projects, with up to 12 wires available simultaneously. It handles cutting to length, stripping, crimping and labeling, then delivers finished wires in the specified wiring sequence, bundled or via a rail system.
Higher Capacity & Shorter Cycle Times
Triathlon L
36-wire capacity · 15 wire rails · 8-second cycle time
The Triathlon L is designed for control cabinet projects involving a wider variety of wires. It can automatically process up to 36 different wires, delivering finished wires as chain bundles and/or via a rail system, sorted in the exact sequence required for wiring.
