down to 100Hz. Dual-frequency testing
is performed with a single connection to
significantly reduce set-up and testing time.
Automated four-pair switching platform
enables operators to perform cable testing
in less than threeminutes. Easy-to-use testing
software offers complete test management
and reporting capabilities.
In addition, the next generation of Beta
LaserMike process controllers will be
debuted along with the existing family of
DataPro process controllers.

Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and its subsidiary
Niehoff Endex (NENA) will present the
following equipment:
• MMH 121.E2.1.A.16.2622 + RM
201.1.S.16.5000 multiwire drawing line
• D 632.2.A double twist bunching machine
with NBAT and pay-off ARH 800.1.3.R
• BMV 16 / BAS 800 rotary braiding machine
• ECC 42.S.RTT (no pusher)
The multiwire drawing machine MMH121
is designed to simultaneously draw 16
wires with a final diameter of up to 0.2mm
(32 AWG) which can be processed to
intermediate multiwire bundles. Based on
a modular principle, customer-specific
MMH machines suitable for copper wires,
aluminum wires, wires made from their
alloys and from non-ferrous metals can be
built. The wires drawn on such lines have
homogeneous physical properties along
their whole length and exceed the highest
processing requirements. Meanwhile,
more than 1,100 MMH lines are working
worldwide.
The D632 type double-twist bunching
machine is foreseen to produce strands with
0.09 to 6mm² cross section and a steplessly
variable lay length of 6 to 100mm. The
maximumnumber of twists is 6,500 twists/min,
the maximum speed 300m/min. A special
feature is the patented opto-electronic
NBAT system (Niehoff Bunching Automatic
Traverse),whichallows spools tobeperfectly
spooled. Spooled wire can then be paid-off
tangle-free at extremely high speeds
with no damage. Other features include
the service proven energy-saving single
bow (ECO-Bow) design, the contactless
transmission of machine data within the
machine and the NMI touch-screen display
with color user interface and simplified
navigation structure.
The 16-carrier lever arm rotary braiding
machine BMV 16 can process bare or
coated copper wire, aluminum wire
and stainless steel wire with a single-wire
diameter ranging from 0.05 to 0.3mm (40-28
AWG) as well as artificial yarn and fibers.
The machine features an infinitely variable
electroniccontrol of line speedandbraiding
pitch as well as an automatic central
lubrication system. With an integrated
central taping device, the braiding and
the subsequent taping processes are
completed in one step. By means of
integrated and optionally available quality
assurance systems, BMV braiders can work
for a long time unattended and without
operator intervention. The machine that will
be on display is equipped with a BAS 800
take-up and pay-off unit for spools with a
flange diameter of up to 800mm.
The ECC 42 continuous down coiler
developed and manufactured by
Niehoff Endex (NENA) is designed for
inline operation with extrusion, tinning or
drawing lines and suitable for bare and
plated copper, aluminum wire as well as
insulated solid and stranded cable. It is
designed for coiling of soft and hard solid
copper wire with 0.8-4.1mm diameter (20-6
AWG) and insulated stranded conductor
with 0.8-5.2mm diameter (20-4 AWG).
The maximum production speed is 43m/s
(8,500fpm). The ECC type coilers are
suitable for use with cardboard barrels,
stems or baskets. The Endex coiling system
guarantees a high barrel filling weight and
a safe pay-off of up to 8m/s (1,600fpm) of
coiled cables, even after long transport
distances.
