It’s a deal!
Pourtier and Setic, France, both part
of the Gauder Group, research and
develop machines and complete lines for
copper data cables. The companies have
developed the ‘Triple Twist’ Process, for
which patenting rights have been applied
for and granted in important markets.
In 2002, Maschinenfabrik Niehoff,
Germany, modified its double twist
bunchers for bare wire to make them
suitable for the manufacturing of
copper data cables, and applied for an
international patent for the Back Twist
Payoffs with improved Triple Twist Process.
The Gauder Group and Niehoff have
agreed to a license agreement, in which
both parties grant themselves the right
for utilising the existing patent rights for
machines and equipment as well as for
the Triple Twist Process.

Nabertherm, Germany, is a furnace
manufacturer with an annual
production of over 7,000 furnaces.
The company has reported that
its booth at the GIFA in Düsseldorf
attracted a great deal of interest, with
the majority of visitors seeking furnace
solutions for their specific needs.
The company’s 130m2 booth featured
several different chamber furnaces, and
various melting and holding furnaces
for the modern foundry.
Of special interest to foundry experts
was the presentation of a new series
of PLC-controlled crucible furnaces for
the melting and holding of non-ferrous
metals.
The advantage of these furnaces is the
flexible operation mode, which can be
defined as required. The user-friendly
automatic mode can be programmed to
cover requirements, from quick-melting
in chamber control to precise melt bath
control using a cascade, allowing for
constant quality of the molten metal
while holding.
The operation and administration of
groups of furnaces (and even whole
plants) can be centrally controlled from
a single point, using the Nabertherm
Control Center.
