Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2010 48
In July 2010 InnoVites BV announced that Vatan Kablo had selected the InnoVites
for Cable© and CableBuilder© business solutions for the wire and cable industry.
InnoVites and its Turkish partner PargeSoft are the implementation partners for
Vatan Kablo. This industry-specific solution integrates business processes from
cable design to production, planning and delivery.
CableBuilder is a popular and powerful cable design software from Cimteq Ltd,
the industry partner of InnoVites. Both applications are specifically designed for
the wire and cable industry and deliver strong functionality to support specific
business processes in the industry.
More recently, InnoVites was able to confirm that CableBuilder is also to be
implemented by Gupta Power Infrastructure Limited (GPIL) of India, to improve
the company’s product data management. GPIL, a US$170 million company, is
an established name in the manufacturing of conductors and cables in India.
MK Gupta, managing director of Gupta Power Infrastructure, explained: “The
investment in CableBuilder is part of our strategy to further enhance the R&D
infrastructure in GPIL. It makes the company more responsive and effective when
it comes to matching customer requirements with technological innovations.”

CableBuilder moves further afield
The Rosendahl Crosshead RX 25T for
foamed RF cable cores is designed to
manufacture the complete RF cable
range from ¼" SF to 2¼" F.
The basic design comprises an oil
heated crosshead with skin appli-
cation, equipped with an optimised
temperature control to cover
expansion rates of up to 86%. Two
heating/cooling zones on the
crosshead – one for the main body,
the second for the die holder – provide
excellent temperature control and
even temperature distribution in the
polymer gas melt.
Full natural balancing minimises
the shear rates and provides smooth
melt flow for perfect roundness,
concentricity and mechanical stability.
Superior manifold technology enables
small formed cells and an homo-
genous cell distribution at this high
foaming degree.
Temperature control, shear stress,
pressure drop and flow speed
optimisation in the crosshead are
significant factors for achieving foam
expansion rates on the final cable of
up to 86%. This new design is said
to enable RF cable manufacturers
to surpass the limitations curr-
ently experienced with standard
equipment.
