CV lines for cable, worldwide

Maschinenbau Scholz building at Coesfield ▲ ▲

Maschinenbau Scholz is a specialist in the design and fabrication of CV lines for the continuous production of medium-voltage and high-voltage cables. More than 350 lines made by the German company are in operation, worldwide. The product range includes vertical lines, catenary lines, horizontal lines, pressurised reversing vessels, conversions and special designs. To make the lines fit for the future, it is often enough to only replace individual parts. The potential for optimisation is often in the details. For this, Scholz can provide its customers with splice boxes, main sealings, pressurised reversing vessels and non-contact sag controls (cable position controls). With a replacement of only these components the production speed can be increased and a costly machine failure can be avoided. When developing tailor-made solutions, Maschinenbau Scholz focuses on the latest EDP. With highly efficient software, the achievable production speeds can be precisely calculated and the required operating parameters can be determined, or another option for efficiency enhancement is the conversion of steam CV lines into dry curing lines. Scholz offers a comprehensive after sales service, high quality components and constant quality control. Maschinenbau Scholz is holder of the DIN EN ISO 9001 certificate, and all pressure-retaining parts are made in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG [PED] and international acceptance standards.

This Innovative development can incorporate both Multiform & Multibend technologies developed by TBE – giving low cost tooling, faster setup times, exceptional flexibility and high production rates. All of our machines are controlled with our latest technology – enhanced with Allen Bradley Controls and software – TBE Systems.

New cones for the Syncro F13

test centre for this purpose, which can be used to determine the friction coefficient of drawing tools and wire. It also offers the possibility of working variably with parameters such as the addition of cooling lubricants, rotation of the tool shaft, wrap angle of the wire on the drawing tool, exchangeability ease of wires and drawing tools, as well as computer-aided analysis of test results. This enables basic research to be carried out in areas of slip and friction. The test centre can also be used to investigate customer-specific problems.

CeramTec is offering complete wire drawing cones or large rings with a 483mm diameter. Made from advanced ceramics it is said that the cones can be used for wire drawing on CeramTec’s Syncro F13 for greater cost-effectiveness in wire manufacturing. The gentler finishing process using the advanced ceramic material, zirconium oxide, produces better process reliability, extended machine service life and improved quality of the finished wire product. In cooperation with customers, technical product managers will optimise the manufacturing process. CeramTec has a
