Booth 3446
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff
Endex (NENA), Niehoff’s North
American subsidiary, will present the
following equipment:
The new EDR14 high-speed single
wire rod breakdown machine was
developed by NENA especially for the
American market and is designed for
inline operation with high-speed
extrusion lines.
The drawing machine is designed to
operate at speeds up to 45m/s
(9,000fpm). The maximum inlet
diameter for soft copper wire is 8mm
(5/16") and the finish diameter range is
from 1.29–4.12mm (16–6 AWG).
The double-twist stranding machine
DSI631 is used for a wide conductor
cross-section range and a maximum
strand diameter of 8mm. The lay
length can be freely adjusted from
8 to 180mm; the lay length consistency
is less than ±0.5% of the effective
lay length.
The DSI631 and the larger version
DSI1001 are designed to combine
insulated conductors to pairs or quads
and to strand conductor pairs into
LAN cables and other special cables,
either with or without back twist.
The high speed braiding machines of
the BMV series designed for 12, 16 or
24 bobbins can process bare or
plated copper wire, aluminium wire
and stainless steel wire with a
single-wire diameter of 0.05 to 0.3mm
(40–28 AWG) and artificial yarn
and fibres.
Applications 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.
The DSA ‘Niehoff rewinding machines
System Hacoba’ are automatic high-
speed machines, which spool wires
from single and multiwire spools onto
braiding bobbins.
At the show the DSA will operate inline
with an EDP801, a newly redesigned
multiwire pintle type payoff for tension
control during accelerations and
decelerations.
It is available for operation with
high-speed double twist bunchers, and
can be built with a lift table to
accommodate spools with smaller
flange sizes.

PS Costruzioni
Meccaniche Srl
Booth: Italian pavilion
PS automatic lines can work as either
a slave to the extruder (on line) or as
an autonomous final station. A selector
allows the choice of either the first or
the second system.
PS automatic coiling lines are
equipped with strapping machines,
thermo-shrinking tunnels, boxing
machines, stackers and palletisers.
Model PS 350/8 is suitable for flexible
cables from 1.5mm up to 8mm
diameter or for solid cables from
1.5mm up to 6mm diameter with a
production of five coils, 100 metres
long, per minute. It can also wind flat
cables.
PS 470/16 is suitable for flexible cables
from 5mm to 16mm diameter or for
solid cables from 5mm to 10mm
