FOUNDED in 1936, SAMP SpA is part of
the Maccaferri Industrial Group and one
of the market leaders in the production of
wire and cable manufacturing equipment
and machinery. The company’s product
range includes state-of-the-art solutions
for drawing copper, aluminium and
relative alloys; a complete range of
double-twist bunchers to strand copper
wires and lay up insulated conductors;
and a whole series of products to cover
any cable manufacturing requirement.
SAMP wire and cable manufacturing
machines and lines provide high
productivity, flexibility, quality of the final
product and savings in terms of energy
consumption and raw materials. The
company can personalise systems to meet
specific requirements, combined with
line management and control systems
that can be integrated to any industrial
computer or commercial control panel to
interface all elements.
The company is based in Bentivoglio,
Bologna, and operates all over the world
through various production facilities
and a widespread sales network, which
includes subsidiaries located in the USA,
China, Russia and India.
At wire Düsseldorf, SAMP presented
its new multi-wire Drawing Machine
Platform, designed for copper and
aluminium wires, which builds on many
years of research and in-depth testing.
In particular, the DM Platform aims at
reducing production costs by increasing
the energy efficiency and power factor
of the manufacturing line; increasing
the line productivity by diminishing
set-up times, reducing and simplifying
maintenance operations, ensuring an easy
accessibility of the machine spare parts;
and maximising the process efficiency
thanks to a significant reduction of the
acceleration and deceleration ramps.
The DM Platform consists of four
product segments, designed to meet
requirements depending on their final
application (building wire, white/brown
goods, automotive, etc): DM 80 EL (Entry
Level) – up to eight wires per row and 22
drafts, maximum inlet wire 3.6mm; DM
80 – up to ten wires per row and 37 drafts,
maximum inlet wire 2.05mm; DM 105-80
– up to 16 wires per row and 29 drafts,
maximum inlet wire 2.6mm; and DM 105
– up to 16 wires per row and 25 drafts,
maximum inlet wire 3.2mm.
The DM Platform features a new gear
train, designed and engineered by the
Sampingranaggi division, which ensures
maximum, vibration-free performance and
a significant reduction of the noise level, so
that no soundproof cabin is needed.
Particular attention has been given to
ergonomics and man-machine interfaces
by a clear and rational distribution of
services and accessories.
SAMP states that after in-depth testing
in numerous customers’ premises in real
working conditions, the DM machines
have obtained results showing a
better wire quality, an average energy
consumption reduced by over 30% and a
power factor higher than 0.95.

At wire 2012, OMR Srl displayed a new
line of automatic winding machines
for winding wires onto bobbins prior
to the braiding process. The machines
are equipped with touch-screen
control with colour display, electronic
thread-guide and change system with
manipulator with direct taking of the
wound bobbins, in order to ensure
precision and reliability. The range also
includes motorised unwinding devices.
