Webtool Wire Rope Cutters

The Wire Rope Cutters are designed for use in severe working conditions such as sub-sea; the cutters have been manufactured to meet customers requirements in stainless steel or lightweight aluminium and for ROV applications.

Model WCS

• Designed to cut wire rope up to 75mm diameter.
• The units are double acting type.
• They can also be supplied with pumps, hoses & couplings.
• The rope is inserted by either pushing the rope through the opening or by withdrawing the anvil pin to place the rope inside the anvil. The pin is then returned to hold the rope in place.

Model WCOS

• Designed to cut wire rope up to 54mm diameter.
• Open sided to allow easy positioning of the cutter along a rope length – particularly useful when cutting in confined spaces.
• The units are double acting type.

Model RCV

The RCV range of cutters feature hydraulically powered anvil pins for remote actuation. This enables the ROV operator to capture and sever the cable or wire rope via the manipulator arm.

By closing the anvil pin the rope is held in place. A hardened steel guillotine blade is then hydraulically driven through the rope. The blade is returned and the anvil pin retracted ready for the next cut.
