In recent years SKET Magdeburg has
doubled its staff and tripled its turnover
as a supplier of individual machines or
complete lines for the production of
electric cable or steel wire rope.
The company’s best selling machines
for the cable industry are the MKZS/T
central stranders, MWR drum twisters
and MKD rigid stranders, while SRW
tubular stranders, MSDN double twist
bunchers and MKVS planetary stran-
ders are SKET’s main products in the
steel sector.
SKET’s latest developments include a
new generation of central strander,
featuring a 500kg AI wire bobbin capa-
city; a new, large planetary strander/
closer for submarine cable; and a
large double twist buncher suitable for
producing multi-layer steel wire strands
up to 12mm.

Schnell’s Spirex machine can achieve
a continuous stirrup bend with vertical
arms and variable pitch, capable of
providing continuous clamping for
concrete beams or pillars.
The vertical arms are always vertical
to the main reinforcement, while the
horizontal arms diverge, determining
the pitch (also variable) among the
different stirrups.
The continuous stirrup Spirex elimi-
nates the errors that may occur on the
jobsite during the placing of the
reinforcement.
Spirex is a single piece of steel rod,
fast and simple to use, to match the
original design of the engineer without
negligence and damage.
Spirex continuous stirrups with vertical
arms are produced with a pre-
established pitch.
Stirrups (spirals) are always in the right
position along the reinforcement, even
with variable pitches.
The number and the position of the
stirrups along the reinforcement cannot
be modified through the negligence of
the workers on the jobsite.
Spirex continuous stirrup with vertical
arms cannot open during an earth-
quake, as the traditional stirrup can
(particularly in a pillar).

Sikora AG will present its range of
measuring and control equipment for
the wire and cable industry, including
the Centerview 8000 with its 8-point-
eccentricity and ovality measure-
ment, patent pending cloud diagram
and several improvements regarding
precision and long-life-cycle.
Also present will be the X-Ray 8000
NXT for eccentricity, wall thickness,
ovality and diameter measurement of
MV-, HV- and EHV- cables in CCV-,
VCV- and MDCV-lines, and the X-Ray
2000 series, suitable for the measure-
ment of diameter, wall thickness,
eccentricity and ovality on insulating
and jacketing lines.
