➣➢➣aircraft applications. Its taping
lines can be found at many
well-known suppliers worldwide.
Its product range covers single
components like pay-offs,
capstans, caterpillars and take-
ups, up to complete rewinding
lines and fine wire drawing lines for
non-ferrous materials.
Recent developments have been
advanced by energy and size
reduction – and this will be in
evidence with the exhibiting taping
machines for magnet wire appli-
cations, cost-optimised and easy-
to-integrate taping and heating
solutions. This should give
incentives, especially to the Asian
market.

Maillefer
Stand W1F24
Maillefer has its roots in cable
manufacturing. This combined with
the widest application coverage
and over 4,000 line deliveries has
created unique competences
available for customers via several
new products.
At China the company will
introduce many novelties which
enhance the competitiveness and
responsiveness of wire and cable
manufacturers.
• Maillefer Factory System is a
qualified concept to plan and
realise a greenfield factory with
the lowest possible risk and
cost. The system is a way to
outsource a factory project
right after you have defined the
end product, and is also
suitable for expansion of
current production facilities
• Maillefer Consultation is a new
service entity that is built
around the wire and cable
production process. It exploits
core knowledge into individual
advice and process skill
improvements of wire and
cable manufacturers
The company is introducing a new
Value Package to the Chinese
market, including the new Round
Value Package Premium with
which production is controlled
under very precise tolerances. This
brand new curing concept
guarantees utmost roundness in
high voltage cable production. The
new three-layer crosshead THX
100/180 LR redefines extrusion for
big conductor sizes and EHV
insulation. Optimised bi-flow
distributors enable accurate wall
thickness, centricity and roundness
of the cable.
The application offering has grown
by one to include aviation, and the
company’s experts are happy to
explain about the new Aviation &
Aerospace Wire Insulation Lines
TEL 15X/Enter and TEL 25X//
Extend. Material know-how is
proven by demonstrations of how
a rheometer for testing rubber
curing parameters and the Curing
Calculation Program NSS together
give the best possible production
run recipe.
Cable samples from the R&D
Centre’s Vertical Pilot Line for
cables up to 750kV are available,
and visitors can see how the new
CRM 180 Cable Roundness Meter
works. Measurement results are
examined in minute detail for
sudden cable geometry errors.
Finding the reason for cable
geometry errors in processes
makes it easier to maintain quality
in CV line production.

Medek & Schörner
Stand W1C32
Medek & Schörner will be
presenting the following cable
marking machines in Shanghai:
Cable marking machines:
• High quality gravure printers

application of fine water dust
for pre-cooling of the hot wire
immediately after the extruder
• Embossing metre markers/hot
foil sequential metre markers
for high accuracy of length
measurement (power cables,
telecommunication cables,
optical fibre cables, etc)
• High performance ring markers
for marking telephone wires,
switchboard wires, automotive
cables and LAN cables
• Video system for monitoring the
print quality of fast-running cable
printing machines, eg allowing
real-time inspection for bad
quality and/or missing prints
• Laser marking system for
cables
