Medek & Schörner
Stand: E09
Medek & Schörner will be presenting the
following equipment.
Cable marking machines:
• High quality gravure printers (LAN
cables, control cables, etc) for
speeds up to 1,200m/min
• Water misting unit for the application
of fine water dust for pre-cooling of
the hot wire immediately after the
extruder
• Embossing metre markers/hot foil
sequential metre markers for high
accuracy of length measurement
(power cables, telecommunication
cables, optical fibre cables, etc)
• High performance ring markers for
marking telephone wires,
switchboard wires, automotive
cables and LAN cables
• Video system for monitoring the print
quality of fast-running cable printing
machines, eg, allowing real-time
inspection for bad quality and/or
missing prints
• Laser marking system for cables
Optical fibre coating systems:
• Top speed optical fibre processing
systems
• Optical fibre colour coding up to
3,000m/min
• Ring marking of optical fibres
• Tight buffering up to 1,300m/min
• Fibre ribbon production with
excellent ribbon planarity, for speeds
up to 1,000m/min
• Production of compact fibre units
Thanks to the modularity and flexibility of
its systems, Medek & Schörner has been
able to implement other applications,
including some outside the field of
optical fibres:
• Copper wire insulation with UV
varnishes (enamelled wire)
• Manufacture of dimension-sensitive
precision micro flexible flat cables
(FFC) using UV resins

In recent years, interest in power cables
has increased in the Southeast Asia
region, due to the tendency to switch
from overhead cables to underground
installations, following the process of
modernisation that is occurring in most
of the large metropolitan areas in the
region.
Two main parameters become vital for
the cable manufacturer: productivity and
consistency of the production quality.
To achieve each of these manufacturing
realities, the manufacturer needs to be
able to react quickly to customer
requests, which typically need to be
delivered in short time. The fight to
remain competitive will be increasingly
focused on reaction time and flexibility in
the manufacturing process.
For this reason, the answer to this
market requirement can no longer be
handled with conventional manufacturing
methods, which use a traditional rigid
cage stranding line, well known to most
cable manufacturers.
MFL Group, thanks to the 50 years’
experience of OM Lesmo, can propose
the best solution to meet this challenge:
the large double twist model DTO lines,
going from Ø1,600mm to 2,500mm. The
perfectly balanced technology enables
these machines to strand up to 500mm2
copper conductors and up to 630mm2
aluminium conductors.
The advantages related to this modern
application are clear: +44 per cent of
rotational speed (DTO2000 compared to
a standard rigid cage line), and non-stop
production with the use of coil pay-offs.
The only time this stops is to change
take-up reels.
As with all machines proposed by MFL
Group, you will find all the latest
technology for a modern production
machine: AC motors electronically
controlled with inverters, web connection
to the control panel of the line,
production recipes to be saved on the
system, and all the features of an
advanced MFL Group machine.

High performance Micro-Weld butt
welders offer efficient welding solutions
for continuous processing of wire, rod
and cable. The butt welders are built by
Micro Products Company, a USA-based
manufacturer of butt and flash welders
since 1928.
Wire and cable companies in over 30
countries including India, China, Japan
and South Korea now use Micro-Weld
butt welding equipment. The welders are
also used by manufacturers of fasteners,
