Maillefer
Stand: G18
Maillefer has been developing its product
portfolio around one central theme –
customer value. It is not a new idea, but
rather a growing priority. The new ways
of working and supporting customers in
their everyday manufacturing activity
creates a new type of competitiveness
for customers. Different levels of
improvements for existing lines have
been developed side by side with new
technology options for uncovered market
needs. Maillefer’s portfolio is organised
into three different solution levels – /Enter,
//Extend and ///Explore. These solutions
vary in capacity, cost, automation,
flexibility, product range, space require-
ments and maintenance needs.
There is a perfect match for each market
situation – Maillefer can find the winning
solution in low-end as well as in
high-end categories in almost 20 wire,
cable, pipe and tube applications.
Wire and cable production solutions are
available for building and automotive
wires, dry or jelly-filled fibre optic cables,
low, medium, high and extra-high
voltage cables, rubber cables, telecom,
LAN and coaxial cables.

Niehoff
Stand: H33
Niehoff and its Singapore represen-
tative office will show an MSM 85 rod
breakdown machine. The electronically
driven MSM 85 is designed to produce
wires made of copper, copper alloys,
aluminium, aluminium alloys and other
non-ferrous materials. The machine is
capable of drawing copper wires with a
maximum inlet diameter of 10mm (or
12.5mm aluminium wires) to a minimum
final diameter of 1mm.
The maximum line speed is 40m/s.
Additional features include an optimised
wire path, and an enhanced wire cooling
and lubrication system with reduced
consumption. Like all other new
machines built by Niehoff, the MSM 85 is
operated by the newly designed and
standardised NMI (Niehoff Machine
Interface), a network-compatible colour
touchscreen which features a clear task-
and user-orientated navigation structure,
and enables an easy, intuitive operation.
The MSM rod breakdown technology
developed by Niehoff has been
successfully operating in the inter-
national wire industry since its market
introduction in 1998. The electronically
controlled MSM machines, which have
seen continuous development since their
initial launch, are equipped with the latest
controls and drive technology, offering
users a vast range of benefits in terms of
process technology.
The drive principle enables a minimised
slip operation resulting in wire with a very
high surface quality, maximum energy
