type 16/104 HCM/C, designed to satisfy
each customer’s needs in terms of flexibility,
reliability and speed. Its main applications
are wire and cable, such as coaxial, antenna,
computer, etc; shielding of wire and cables;
catheters and medical products; small
reinforced products; glass and composite
fibre products.
The company will also present the new carrier
type 140FT/PG on a 16/1-140 FT/EC braiding
machine, the ideal combination for aramid

OM Lesmo has recently delivered the largest
double twist strander in the market, suitable
for take-up reels up to Ø2,500mm, to obtain
strands up to 61 wires for low and medium
voltage. This is a new alternative to the
conventional stranders.
Advantages are higher productivity, shorter
loading times, improved overall efficiency
and, above all, quicker return on the
investment.
OM Lesmo has produced double twist
stranders for more than 30 years. In the last
15 years this type of machine has been used
for up to 37-wire strands.
Now, with an original and dedicated
approach, the new machine has the following
general specification:
• technology: double twist with external
capstan (single twist process)
• take-up reel: up to Ø2,500 mm flange
• max number of wires: 61
• max cross section of the obtained products:
500mm2 Aluminium, 240mm2 Copper
• suitable for low and medium voltage
products
The performance of the machine is
remarkable: the real working speed is 300 to
600 twists per minute, the production speed
can reach 120m/min, and the time to reload
the take-up reel is 10 minutes.

Otomec manufactures customised cleaning
and plating plants for the wire, cable and
strips industry.
Clean wire is vital to improve drawing speed
and final quality level, while an electro-plated
surface (zinc-tin-nickel-brass-silver) is required
to match the high-level standards for wire
and strip technology, like extended life to
corrosion, improved power transmission, and
facilitated lubrication.
This also helps with cost-saving procedures
such as forming final products (springs, rivets,
buckets etc) directly from plated material.
Through a wide range of machines, sized
to perform small volumes of products as
well as large outputs, single or multi-strand,
reel to reel, speed up to 20m/sec, Otomec
is able to provide you with the necessary
equipment.
Of particular interest are:
• Model OTO 5 – patented modular, multi-
functional plant for in-line preparation of iron
wire rod
• Model OTO4 – complete plant for the
electro-plating of steel and non-ferrous wire
• Model OTO’FF LINE – reel to reel or basket
plant for copper, brass, stainless steel, carbon
steel, superconductor, alloys, fine tubes
• Model OTO2 – in-line coppering of 5mm
maximum wire – speed up to 20m/sec
