Cable Production Equipment
50 Wire & Cable ASIA – May/June 2007
Rotating machinery
for the cable industry
Flymca is a Spanish firm which
designs and manufactures rotating
machinery for the production of power
and telecommunication cables, steel
ropes, and low relaxation strands.
Flymca provides the cable industry
with a wide range of cabling equipment
like rigid stranders, tubulars, skip
stranders, planetary and drum twisters,
as well as all the auxiliary equipment
like pay-offs and take-ups, rewinding
lines, taping and binding heads,
capstans and caterpillars.
The services offered by Flymca are
not restricted to the production of this
machinery, and are completed by a
whole service based on a professional
installation and commissioning, recon-
ditioning and upgrading, personnel
training, and after-sales guarantee.
Some examples of the present
productions are a tubular strander
(1+12) for 630mm DN bobbins, or
several bow cablers for 1,600mm
DIN bobbins, and the current commis-
sioning of a rigid stranding line
1+12+18+24 for 630mm DIN bobbins.
At present, the technological develop-
ment department of Flymca is studding
the tubular layer production, with
trapezoidal wires.
This process is realised non-stop
during the cabling, beginning with
circular section wires, and supposes
an immense convenience for the
production of this kind of cabling.
The company has also opened this
year a new subsidiary called Flyro,
which deals with the purchase and
sale of second hand machinery, with
the possibility of reconditioning and
refurbishing the elements.

‘A superb piece of machinery’
At every re-appearance of this section the editors
are always struck by the advances in equipment
that had already reached a very highly advanced
state the last time the feature was assembled.
The question suggests itself, just how much can a superb piece of machinery
be enhanced? Just how far can a vision of perfectibility be extended?
Even a casual inspection of the websites of cable production equipment
makers is instructive. They teem with the expressions of aspiration
and striving. ‘Future-oriented.’ ‘Innovative.’ ‘Cutting-edge.’ ‘Progressive.’
‘State-of-the-art.’
This is the language of professionals who proudly offer their best products
– even as they maintain their efforts to improve those products.
