The DM Platform consists of four product segments, designed to meet requirements depending on their final application (building wire, white/brown goods, automotive, etc): DM 80 EL (Entry Level) – up to eight wires per row and 22 drafts, maximum inlet wire 3.6mm; DM 80 – up to ten wires per row and 37 drafts, maximum inlet wire 2.05mm; DM 105-80 – up to 16 wires per row and 29 drafts, maximum inlet wire 2.6mm; and DM 105 – up to 16 wires per row and 25 drafts, maximum inlet wire 3.2mm. The DM Platform features a new gear train, designed and engineered by the Sampingranaggi division, which ensures maximum, vibration-free performance and a significant reduction of the noise level, so that no soundproof cabin is needed. Particular attention has been given to ergonomics and man-machine interfaces by a clear and rational distribution of services and accessories. SAMP states that after in-depth testing in numerous customers’ premises in real working conditions, the DM machines have obtained results showing a better wire quality, an average energy consumption reduced by over 30% and a power factor higher than 0.95.

The company is based in Bentivoglio, Bologna, and operates all over the world through various production facilities and a widespread sales network, which includes subsidiaries located in the USA, China, Russia and India. At wire Düsseldorf, SAMP presented its new multi-wire Drawing Machine Platform, designed for copper and aluminium wires, which builds on many years of research and in-depth testing. In particular, the DM Platform aims at reducing production costs by increasing the energy efficiency and power factor of the manufacturing line; increasing the line productivity by diminishing set-up times, reducing and simplifying maintenance operations, ensuring an easy accessibility of the machine spare parts; and maximising the process efficiency thanks to a significant reduction of the acceleration and deceleration ramps.

FOUNDED in 1936, SAMP SpA is part of the Maccaferri Industrial Group and one of the market leaders in the production of wire and cable manufacturing equipment and machinery. The company’s product range includes state-of-the-art solutions for drawing copper, aluminium and relative alloys; a complete range of double-twist bunchers to strand copper wires and lay up insulated conductors; and a whole series of products to cover any cable manufacturing requirement. SAMP wire and cable manufacturing machines and lines provide high productivity, flexibility, quality of the final product and savings in terms of energy consumption and raw materials. The company can personalise systems to meet specific requirements, combined with line management and control systems that can be integrated to any industrial computer or commercial control panel to interface all elements. At wire 2012, OMR Srl displayed a new line of automatic winding machines for winding wires onto bobbins prior to the braiding process. The machines are equipped with touch-screen control with colour display, electronic thread-guide and change system with
