Our Range of Machinery
Conductor and Cable Covering
Fully integrated production lines, complete with drum stands and camera control systems, designed for the electrical and power industries. These systems enable high-speed application of insulation tapes onto round or flat conductors and cables.
Coil Manufacturing and Winding
From freely suspended squirrel turn taping machines for taping together multiple conductors to fully automated multi-axis complex coil winding systems. A wide range of cost effective machines for coil pull-out, forming and loop winding – including narrow coil profiles.
Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe / Thermoplastic Composite Pipe
Our RTP and TCP taping machines apply multiple layers of high-strength reinforcing tape, such as Kevlar or glass fibre, to create durable RTP or TCP products. These machines are commonly used in applications including oil and gas flowlines, as well as water injection systems.
Coil Taping Equipment
We design and manufacture a wide range of coil taping equipment, from suspended hand-held units for motor and generator coils and bars to advanced taping heads for insulating superconducting coils used in major projects such as ITER’s toroidal field (TF) magnets.
Umbilical Cables
Our umbilical cable taping machine is designed to apply a variety of tapes to an umbilical cable as it passes through the machine. Our machine wraps an outer ring onto an umbilical cable which can then be deployed in subsea and deep-water environments.
Drum Stands and Ancillary Equipment
We offer a comprehensive range of pay-off and take-up drum stands engineered for precise layering and accurate tension control, meeting the requirements of cable and wire manufacturers across all applications. Available configurations include Gantry, Pintle, Shaft, and Vertical drum stands.
About Ridgway
We are the leading manufacturer of precision taping and winding machines for the electrical and energy industries, with over 100 years of engineering experience. Ridgway machines are widely used in the production of electrical coils, cables, and conductors. They are also used to manufacture Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) for oil and gas pipelines and Subsea Umbilical Cables that connect subsea equipment to platforms or floating production systems. From innovative, flexible designs to global support, we deliver expert solutions built on a deep understanding of our customers’ individual needs.
