The Farmer Cast On Strap machine has been the workhorse of the industry for over 35 years. Our early designs revolutionized the battery assembly process, and we continue to improve on that solid design and foundation.
The larger Farmer 5 Station COS is especially suited for heavier battery types including 4D/8D, L16 and larger, and has been designed to handle two 6-volt batteries per cycle.
The addition of a lug preheat and tinning station has been shown to improve the bond during the mold process. Today’s model boasts PLC Controls with operator interfaces, while hydraulic actions on all moving parts facilitate smoother machine function.
The Farmer COS machine offers one of the most attractive cost-competitive solutions to your Cast on Strap needs.
