➣➢➣Industry 4.0 – “Smart Factory” – is
becoming a reality and opening
new doors both for suppliers
and manufacturers. Predictive
maintenance, backtracking of
processes and online monitoring
are just a few of those values and
benefits. It supports optimising of
the complete product life cycle.
Rosendahl & Nextrom have
undertaken technological develop-
ments in:
• Processing high-temp materials
and silicone rubbers
• Producing loose tubes with
fibre overlength control at
extremely high speeds
• Recycling helium during fibre
draw
• VAD/OVD preform technology

Setic
Stand W1F25
Setic provides high-speed double
twist bunchers/stranders for the
automotive industry as well as
complete solutions to produce
high quality LAN, special and
control cables with enhanced
performance (in one or two steps,
according to product mix).
The company is continuously
developing new lines and
concepts for non-ferrous cables in
order to meet customers’ needs,
such as tandem “mica taping/
bunching”, special high speed
lines for battery cable, and new
high speed lines for special and
instrumentation cables.
These machines are made in
France and some of them are also
manufactured by the Gauder
Group China division for direct
supply to the Asian market, with
the same quality standards.

Sikora
Stand W1F62
Sikora is presenting a full
programme of well proven and
innovative non-contact measuring,
control, inspection and sorting
devices for quality assurance and
cost reduction in the wire, cable,
optical fibre and plastics
industries.
The product range includes X-ray
and laser devices for the
measurement of diameter,
eccentricity, ovality and wall
thickness. In addition, lump
detectors for the detection of
non-conformities on the product
surface as well as devices for
monitoring the cleanliness of
plastic material and for
temperature measurement of PE
melts will be shown.
Sikora will showcase the Preheater
6000 TC, a temperature-controlled
conductor preheating device that
assures an optimum adhesion of
the PE or other plastics on the
conductor.
In this context the Wire-Temp 6000
will also be presented: a
non-contact conductor tempera-
ture measurement system that is
now also available for diameters
up to 50mm and suitable for
installation in CV lines.
With the Purity Scanner, Sikora
offers a system for 100 per cent
online inspection and sorting of
plastic pellets that contributes to
process optimisation, quality
assurance and cost saving.
In addition, visitors will get to
know the company’s sophisticated
systems for quality assurance of
optical fibres in the drawing tower.
The product series is com-
plemented by a gauge head for
measuring the fibre temperature,
as well as innovative equipment
that gives information on the
coating concentricity.

Spirka Schnellflechter
Stand W1F57
Since 2012, Spirka Schnellflechter
has offered complete reverse
coiling lines with revised design
and control for shielded low
voltage and medium voltage
cables.
The advantage of LV- or
MV-cables with a waveconal
shielding is their easy and safe
installation.
The SSB shielding system features
a high efficiency, good product
quality and a long runtime as it
uses drums for the copper tapes in
