Since the mid-eighties, Rosendahl has been supplying its solutions to the majority of India’s cable manufacturers, ranging from fluoropolymer insulated cables, building wires, copper telephone insulated cores, optical fibre cable and RF cable systems. Rosendahl will be introducing its Crosshead series RX at wire SEA, completing the Rosendahl extrusion product programme. Together Nextrom and Rosendahl offer turnkey solutions in the fields of extrusion, SZ-stranding, fibre optic, forming, welding and corrugation, combining knowledge and state-of-the-art technology in close cooperation with its customers and product suppliers. Nextrom Oy representative office – Hong Kong Website : www.rosendahlaustria.com SKET Verseilmaschinenbau GmbH Booth H23 In recent years SKET Magdeburg has doubled its staff and tripled its turnover as a supplier of individual machines or complete lines for the production of electric cable or steel wire rope.

and technology for the processing of copper and copper alloys. High quality continuous cast rod produced by upward casting may be used for the production of copper strips for transformers, enamelled wires, data communication wires, house wiring or power cables. Fully automated Rautomead casting machines are available for the production of quantities ranging from 6,000 to 30,000 tons per year. For smaller scale production, Rautomead has introduced the new RSCC range of casting machines for the production of CuOF and CuAg wire rod. RSCC models are designed to minimise investment costs and offer production from 1,000 to 3,000 tons per year. RSCC casting machines are available in two configurations, either as a 4-strand model for 8mm diameter rod for high quality wire drawing applications, or as a 3-strand model for 12mm – 22mm diameter rod to make feedstock for continuous extrusion technology.

Industrial fibre solutions from Denmark ▲ ▲

The new Light-flex yarn offers lightweight and high wear resistance properties. Light-flex can be stranded around the cable centre or inserted longitudinally. It has successfully been tested up to 300rpm in Roblon high speed servers. Roblon Industrial Fiber develops and manufactures high-tech industrial fibres including glass and aramid strength members, ripcords, standard and water- blocking binder yarns and is ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certified.

Introducing the new crosshead series RX ▼ ▼

Roblon continues to expand into south east Asia, where it first began selling cable machinery in the 1990s and where it now also sells industrial fibre products. Roblon places a great deal of importance on these markets. Among the trends that Roblon has observed in the region is an increasing interest in the use of glass, as opposed to steel or aramid, as a strength member. At wire SEA, Roblon will introduce Light-flex, its latest glass strength member for optical fibre cables.
