Wire & Cable ASIA – March/April 2012 57
The increasing demand for cables with bigger diameters for
infrastructure projects, shipyard cables, offshore cables
and mining cables is also making greater demands for
braiders suitable for bigger cable diameters and cross
sections.
Spirka Schnellflechter offers a comprehensive product
portfolio of 24, 32 and 36 carrier braiding machines in
vertical and horizontal applications as well as for
combination machines like taping units, payoff and take-up
for reels up to 2,500mm flange diameter.
These braiding machines have an application range for
cables up to 65mm and steel and copper wires up to
0.4mm diameter and are also suitable for high tensile steel
wires and thread tension up to 120 N.
One of the options for these applications is the horizontal
braider type Unidra 2410 for cables up to 65mm diameter
and copper and steel wires up to 0.4mm diameter. This
braider can handle spools with a maximum flange diameter
of 120mm with a capacity of 1.170cm3.

SPIRKA Schnellflechter has again established itself as a
complex provider of braiding, coiling and spooling
machines in addition to accessory equipment for braiding
and spiralling at its new site in Berlin-Schöneweide.
The braiding machine catalogue comprises vertical and
horizontal rotation braiding machines with 8 to 36 spools,
which can be used for a maximum product diameter up to
65mm.
Spiralling machines up to 24 spools in the vertical area and
up to 36 spools in the horizontal area, as well as manual
and fully automatic spooling machines, round off the
programme.
An important advantage for all customers is the possibility
of being able to obtain the necessary completion
equipment such as band feeders, central band coilers,
winding and unwinding technology and empty spool
detection systems from one provider regardless of the main
equipment.
The development of the multi-wire drawing technique and
the demand of many customers for technological solutions
from one provider were the initial spark for integrating fully
automatic spooling machines with up to four spindles for
split wires, as well as the corresponding multi-wire outlets
with dancer control.
