of useful life of the die and performance for the latest generation. Nano-Die is also now available in up to Ø120mm+ form factor, and there has been development in large form factor compacting dies, tube drawing dies and shaped die capabilities. NDA has also expanded its PCDcatalogue product line to include both fine wire and ultra-fine wire sizes of PCD die technology. This improves its capabilities to support industries that utilise these smaller sizes.

finished diameter range of 1.38mm (0.054 ″) to4.56mm(0.179 ″) if equippedwith11drafts. The MSM 83 can operate at speeds up to 38m/s (7,480ft/min) and is available in 11, 13 and 15 drafts. As the drawing capstans are placed on two levels, the MSM 83 is short, with a length of only 4.5m. The controls allow drawing with minimised slip, resulting in high quality wire surfaces and energy savings. In addition, the optimised wire path and the high-pressure cooling of the drawing die holders contribute to wire surface quality. The MSM 83 is operated by means of the standardised NMI (Niehoff Machine Interface) touchscreen display with colour user interface and simplified navigation structure. The machine’s sensor technology makes it possible to use machine, production and process data according to Industry 4.0. With the new Niehoff Digital Assistant+ 4.0, machine, production and process data can be recorded. Continuous process monitoring and machine condition analysis is possible. Niehoff is developing three D-series double twist stranders for spool sizes 1,250mm (48″), 1,600mm (68″) 2,000mm (78″), as well as rigid stranders. The new D 1252 double twist strander is for stranding and compacting (round and sector) class 2 conductors for energy cables up to 19 wires with a cross-section of up to 120mm 2 (250kcmil).
