Micro Products Co Booth 624

Niehoff and NENA Booth 740

“Niehoff Bunching Automatic Traverse” (NBAT) device which detects spool flanges and controls the traverse width of spools by means of opto-electronic sensors.

Visit Micro-Weld booth (no 624) at Interwire 2011 Show in Atlanta (GA, USA, 3 rd -5 th May 2011) and its booth (booth no. to be released later) at wire Russia 2011 (Moscow, Russia, 23 rd - 26 th May, 2011)

Niehoff Gruppe and its subsidiary Niehoff Endex (NENA), will present the following equipment: A MMH50.8.F35 + RM121 Fine • Multiwire Line A D631 double twist buncher with • NBAT Niehoff Automatic Traverse System & EDP801 Multiwire payoff A BMV16 high speed braiding • machine Niehoff’s spare parts and support • concept All machines are driven by Class IE2 energy-efficient AC motors with electronic control, meet the current safety regulations of the machinery directive RL 2006/42/EG and feature a completely new and functionally optimised machine design. Niehoff’s partner companies like Steuler, HFSAB and Bühler-Würz will also be present during the show. The multiwire drawing machine MMH50, with its integrated continuous annealer RM121, is designed to draw simultaneously eight wires with a final diameter of up to 0.05mm (44 AWG) which can be processed to superfine multiwire bundles. The machine is part of the worldwide top-selling MMH range of multiwire drawing machines, whose largest is capable of drawing up to 48 wires. The quality of the wires made on them exceeds the most demanding specifications and processing require- ments. Along with multiwire drawing machines for copper wire, Niehoff offers 8 and 16-wire drawing machines for aluminium and aluminium alloy wires. The D631 single-bow double twist bunching machine can manufacture bunches with a cross section of 0.09mm² to 6.0mm² (27½-9½ AWG) and a freely adjustable lay length from 6mm to 100mm. The machine on display is equipped with the automatic MMH50 / RM121 Fine Multiwire Drawing Line ▲ ▲

As a result, the spools are filled perfectly and the bunched wire can be paid off tangle-free and without wire damages even at very high speeds. When equipped with the new energy- saving ECO-bow, energy consumption is reduced by more than 60 per cent compared to the two-bow conventional bunching machines under the same operating conditions. The 16-carrier lever arm rotary high speed braiding machine BMV16 can process bare or coated copper wire, aluminiumwire and stainless steel wire with a single-wire diameter ranging from 0.05 to 0.3mm (40-28 AWG) and artificial yarn and fibres. The BMV machines can be combined with different kinds of taping devices. An integrated automatic empty bobbin detection system stops the machine before a braiding bobbin is completely empty thus keeping the residual wire on the braiding spool to a minimum. The applications of the BMV machines include the manufacture of data, control and coaxial cables, hollow braids for battery cables, stranded braids, and mechanical reinforcements for pressure hoses and medical catheters.

A Micro-Weld welder ▲ ▲

This is an ideal opportunity to learn more about electric resistance butt and flash welders designed and manufactured by Micro Products Company, of USA. Micro-Weld welders are used all over the world by wire and cable industry for continuous processing of wire, rod or cable in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Over 50 models are offered for both ferrous and non-ferrous applications for a wide range of wire diameters. Some of these models will be on display at the shows. A variety of accessories are available to make welding operations fit users’ needs. Also available are ceramic fusion welders. These welders weld within ceramic sleeves for containment and perfect welds without burrs on stranded conductors. Micro-Weld features include heavy duty, long-lasting transformers, manual or pneumatic operation and self-aligning welding dies for consistent high quality welds. The unique design makes them tough, dependable and easy to operate. Sample weld evaluation is offered as a valuable service free of charge to test the stock/material and evaluate the weldability and strength of wire samples.
