➣➢➣• CenterScan 2010 eccentricity
measurement system for the
accurate, dependable gauging
of insulation diameter and
conductor eccentricity of wire
and cable to maximise product
quality and reduce production
scrap.
• LaserSpeed ® non-contact laser
gauge for measuring the length
and speed of products with
better than ±0.05% accuracy
and ±0.02% repeatability,
delivering significant quality,
productivity and manufacturing
savings.
• BenchMike, the industry’s
leading off-line part/sample
inspection system with over
15,000 gauges installed
worldwide, now with larger
high-resolution display.
• DataPro process controllers
that capture product and
process data from Beta
LaserMike gauges in real time
to efficiently control processes
at every step, from start-up
through production to final
quality checks.

Maschinenfabrik Niehoff
Niehoff Machinery
Changzhou Co Ltd
Stand W1F63
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and
Niehoff Machinery Changzhou Co
Ltd (NMC), its Chinese subsidiary,
will display an MMH 121 + RM 201
type multi-wire drawing machine
from Germany and a D 631.5 +
ARP 630 type high speed double
twist bunching machine made by
NMC.
H Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB),
specialist in horizontal lead
extrusion and cable repair and
recovery systems, will also be a
co-exhibitor.
The multi-wire drawing machine
MMH 121 is designed to simul-
taneously draw 14 wires in one
level for a diameter range from
0.2mm to 1.05mm. The MMH 121
is combined with an inline annealer
type RM 201 and can work with a
speed of up to 40m/s. The MMH
121 is best suited for the
production of electronic wires as
well as for building wires.
As the MMH machines are based
on a modular principle, they can
be built adapted to the specific
tasks of customers. The wires
drawn on these machines exceed
the most demanding specifications
and processing requirements as
far as physical properties and can
be processed to multi-wire
bundles with outstanding charac-
teristics. Up to now, more than
1,500 MMH lines are in operation
worldwide.
The D 631.5 single-bow double
twist bunching machine and the
ARP 630 pay-off are both built by
NMC under Niehoff licence to
match the high requirements of the
Chinese market.
The machine is designed for
strands with a cross section of
0.09 to 6mm² and a steplessly
variable lay length of 6 to 100mm.
The maximum number of twists is
6,500 twists/min while the
maximum linear speed is 300m/
min.
The machine is equipped with AC
drive technology, contactless
transmission of machine data
within the machine, field proven
energy-saving ECO-Bow and an
NMI touch-screen display with
colour user interface and simplified
navigation structure.
Another special feature is the
perfect tension control for the
winding of the strand from the
beginning to the end of bobbin
using a load cell and dancer.
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff has been
active in China since the early
1970s. Assisted by experienced
Chinese engineers, Niehoff has
successfully introduced rod
breakdown and multi-wire as well
as super fine wire drawing
technology to many wire and cable
factories in China.
One of the pillars on which this
success in the marketplace is built
was the Niehoff Service Centre in
Shanghai, founded in 1994, which
became the Niehoff Shanghai
Representative Office in 2000 and
eventually changed to the
Shanghai sales branch of Niehoff
Machinery Changzhou (NMC) Co
Ltd.
NMC is situated in the Wujin
Economic Development Zone in
Changzhou, approximately 200km
west of Shanghai. It operates a
factory with modern production
equipment and manufactures
different kinds of machines under
Niehoff licence for the Chinese
market.
NMC is also responsible for the
complete after-sales service and
the reliable and fast supply of
Niehoff’s Chinese customers with
Niehoff Original+ parts for all
Niehoff machinery.

Pourtier
Stand W1F25
Pourtier has made impressive
achievements in the field of
submarine and umbilical cables
with the supply of large armouring
lines and laying-up lines, as well
as its heavy-duty stranders,
cablers and armouring lines for
ferrous and non-ferrous cables.
Its multi-wire concentric stranding
line is also widely used for low and
medium power cable production.
All these machines are made in
Europe with the highest standards
in design and manufacturing for
the production of high voltage and
extra-high voltage power cable,
from overhead to insulated, AC
type (using high quality Milliken
conductor) for land cable or DC
