Metzner AM 3000 SERIES
Best choice for cables up to 20 mm ∅ & 70 mm² cross-section
with cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 70 mm²
thanks to pneumatic belt guidance
for demanding and complex cable processing
with cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 70 mm²
and even more powerful engines
for additional versatility and multi-stage cable processing
Maximum Performance & Versatility
The machines in this series offer the ideal solution for demanding cable applications by combining advanced technology with high flexibility and performance. Thanks to the Metzner Long-Life Design, you benefit from maximum reliability, minimal maintenance, and an excellent ROI.
Standard Double Blade Cutting System
All models in the Metzner AM 3000 series are equipped as standard with the patented double blade cutting system, which opens up additional processing possibilities. By combining two pairs of blades – such as V-blades, radius blades, or slit blades – processing options are created that would not be feasible with a conventional single blade head.
The machines cover the entire spectrum from 0.5 to 70 mm² – without costly additional options. Changing blades and guides is tool-free, significantly reducing setup times and making operation even more efficient.
Maximum performance in cutting to length and stripping – Robust and durable
The Metzner AM 3000 machines are equipped with the most powerful motors in their category and deliver up to 40% more cutting force than comparable models. This allows them to effortlessly process large cross-sections up to 70 mm².
Thanks to the extra-long belt drives, motor power is transmitted evenly and gently to the cable. This ensures precise cuts and a long service life for the components. The pneumatic feed ensures particularly material-friendly handling with minimal slip and achieves repeat accuracies of ±1 mm at feed speeds of up to 180 m/min.
Fully equipped software – ready for any application
Full software equipment is standard in the AM 3000 series. MES and PC integration, BOM program, and interfaces for printers and peripheral devices are included as standard. This means the machines are immediately ready for use and ideally designed for all types of pre- and post-processing – without expensive additional modules.
Future-proof and adaptable
The design of the AM 3000 series is built for longevity and stability. Important components are generously dimensioned to ensure reliable continuous operation. Software updates can be conveniently installed remotely by Metzner service upon request.
Furthermore, each machine can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements – for example, with modules for inner conductor stripping or the rotary cutting unit, which is already integrated as standard in the AM 3850.
