MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The Artos CS 327 is a compact, electronic control linear feed wire processing machine that is designed
to process a wide variety of cables. The CS 327 can accept flat or round material. A rugged machine
intended for long continuous operation, the CS 327 uses a precise electronic measuring system and the
latest in wire processing technology to quickly and accurately process your material.
SPECIFICATIONS
A. WIRE CUT LENGTHS:
Maximum: 12598 inches (320M)
Minimum: .25” (6,4 mm)
B. WIRE SIZE: (WIRE DEPENDENT)
The copper diameter this machine can cut is dependent on the stranding of the copper.
The cutterhead can produce 2000lbs of cutting force. Low strand counts mean that it
takes more force therefore the wire diameters are smaller as compared to a finely
stranded cable.
Two blade cutterhead
Machine with standard wire guide kit
Maximum OD 1.18” (30.0mm)
The maximum ID (inside diameter) of the guides is 1.25 inches (31.8mm)
Minimum: 12 AWG (3.3mm2), Wires that are more stiff like steel cable
can go to smaller sizes.
The minimum ID of the guides is 0.12 inches (3.05mm)
Machine with large wire guide kit
Maximum OD 1.43” (36.2mm)
The maximum ID of the guides is 1.50 inches (38.1mm)
Minimum: 12 AWG (3.3mm2) , Wires that are more stiff like steel cable
can go to smaller sizes.
The minimum ID of the guides is 0.12 inches (3.05mm)
Three blade cutterhead.
Maximum OD Up to 0.80 inches (20mm), Larger diameters may be possible
depending on depending on the wire.
Minimum: 12 AWG (3.3mm2) , Wires that are more stiff like steel cable can go to
smaller sizes.
C. STRIPLENGTHS:
Two blade cutter head
Maximum: 39"(999 mm) Leading end 39”(999 mm).
Three blade cutter head
Maximum: 1.3"(33 mm) Leading end 1.3”(33 mm).

Other:This equipment is designed for normal operation in a dry location where it is not likely to be
subjected to drip, splash or spray of water or other liquid.
INSTALLATION
A. Once you have received your CS 327,un-crate the unit and make a thorough inspection to determine
if any loss of contents, or damage, has occurred during shipping. Any shipping related damage must
be reported to the carrier immediately.

F. The connecting cables are routed through the tube and in along the mounting bracket. The cables are
joined just inside cabinet. See below,
Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse PC compartment
Monitor, mouse, and keyboard cable connections
G. Connect to a 220 50/60/1 electrical supply.
CAUTION: Before connecting the main electrical supply, ensure that the voltage and frequency are
within the specified limits for the nominal values shown on the name plate.
H. Set-up and attach optional equipment in the appropriate locations in relation to the main unit.
I. Connect an air supply of 80 PSI nominal Volume 10 CFM
The CS 327 is ready to start.
