❍ Maillefer SA Booth J27

❍ Mario Di Maio SpA Booth G09

Maillefer, Switzerland, will present its portfolio of wire and cable manu- facturing solutions for energy, fibre optic cable and telecom industries. Energy applications cover the latest designs from building, automotive to high speed MV cable manufacturing and optimum curing for CV lines.

Mario Di Maio SpA, manufactures complete systems and machines for the metal wire process. The company’s passage wire rolling system is a simple and compact unit that automatically realises the rolling passages thanks to a sophisticated mechanical structure and accurate electronic control of the working speed. The system can be supplied as 8 or 12 passage models, in three different series, in accordance with the dimension of the bar to be rolled, for a maximum dimension of 16mm. Special systems for larger dimensions or different wire shapes can be supplied on request. The square wire, once rolled and annealed in a controlled atmosphere furnace, is reduced to the desired dia- meter through multi-pass wire drawing machines. Mario Di Maio’s T12NFS multi- pass drawing machine can draw a 0.12mm diameter wire at 400m/min without breaking, thanks to an accurate electronic control pulling system. Reduction of a round wire to a flat rectangular strip required a high precision flattening rolling mill. The LSF120X40 model, provided with coils, combines compact dimensions with a safe structure. Coils are electronically adjustable, with automatic pulling control. The mill can obtain thicknesses as low as 0.05mm, within a tolerance of ±0.0015mm, on long rolling passages.

The CV lines balance speed and layout length for the highest productivity of quality cables reaching up to 500kV. For HV and EHV cables, the new conical THC 70/160 crosshead with bi-flow distributors for triple-layers will be highlighted. From the company’s fibre optic team, visitors will be able to learn about the OEL lines used throughout every step of loose tube fibre optic cable production. The OEL 40, 41, 70 and 60 lines represent, respectively, solutions for tight buffering, secondary coating, SZ stranding and jacketing. The company’s telecom products range from voice, data and LAN to micro-coax, mini-coax, CATV, drop & trunk, and large RF coax. The newest developments are found in LAN and micro-coax cable. For micro-wires used in hand-held devices, overall diameters are shrinking down to the order of a tenth of a millimetre for solid insulation, while physically foamed dual layer constructions are slightly larger.
