Magnetic
Technologies Ltd
Booth 3731
Magnetic Technologies has added new
magnetic torque-style brakes for the B-62,
B-63, and B-64 line of tubular stranders.
The magnetic torque brake assembly is
impervious to oils and dust that can cause
slippage on rope-type brake designs
common to older machines.
The new magnetic torque brake uses
no electricity and, because it is magnetic,
has no wearing parts.
The new brakes are designed to fit a range
of spools. By offering constant torque
in every bay, the new design is said to
greatly improve product quality and
productivity. Torque is fully adjustable.

Niehoff and NENA
Booth 3446
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff
Endex (NENA), Niehoff’s North American
subsidiary, will present the following
equipment:
The new EDR14 high-speed single wire rod
breakdown machine was developed by
NENA especially for the American market
and is designed for inline operation with
high-speed extrusion lines.
The drawing machine is designed to
operate at speeds up to 45m/s (9,000fpm).
The maximum inlet diameter for soft
copper wire is 8mm (5/16") and the finish
diameter range is from 1.29 – 4.12mm
(16 - 6 AWG).
The double-twist stranding machine
DSI631 is used for a wide conductor
cross-section range and a maximum
strand diameter of 8mm. The lay length
can be freely adjusted from 8 to 180mm;
the lay length consistency is less than
± 0.5% of the effective lay length.
The DSI631 and the larger version
DSI1001 are designed to combine
insulated conductors to pairs or quads
and to strand conductor pairs into LAN
cables and other special cables, either
with or without back twist.
