Machinery Changzhou Co Ltd (NMC),
its Chinese subsidiary, will display an
MMH 101 + RM 161 type multi-wire
drawing machine, a D 630.5 type high
speed double twist bunching machine
and an SV 400 D type double spooler.
The MMH 101 + RM 161 type
multi-wire drawing line is designed for
the simultaneous drawing of eight or
16 copper wires to a minimum final
diameter of 0.5, 0.08mm with inline
annealing and can work with a
maximum speed of 36m/s. More than
1,100 MMH units are working
worldwide.
MMH multiwire drawing machines are
designed for copper and aluminium
wires. The wires drawn on MMH
machines exceed the most demanding
specifications and processing
requirements in view of electrical
conductivity, surface quality and
mechanical properties and can be
processed to multi-wire bundles with
outstanding characteristics.
The SV 400 D type double spooler for
insulated wires is designed for the
non-stop production of NPS packages
(Niehoff Package System) and when
installed behind an extrusion line is
capable of spooling automotive
primary cable at a speed of up to
1,200m/min. The spooler can process
cables with a cross-section of 0.22 to
6mm² and a outer diameter of 1 to
5mm (including insulation) and is
capable of accommodating all NPS
400 multi-way spools with a traverse
width of 100 to 400mm.
The D 630.5 double twist bunching
machine built by NMC under Niehoff
licence is adapted to specific
requirements of the Chinese market.
The machine is designed for strands
with a cross section of 0.09 to 6mm²
and accommodates spools with a
maximum flange diameter of 630mm.
It is equipped with AC drive
technology and Niehoff’s ECO-Bow.
A co-exhibitor at the stand will be H
Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB), a
specialist in lead extrusion and cable
stripping equipment from Sweden,
with the latest generation of the CRRS
(Cable Repair and Recovery System).

The DM 1 is a newly developed optical
gauge for diameter and roundness of
wire drawing dies, enamelling dies and
wires. The gauge combines two
measuring functions in one device. The
main measuring functions are the
inside diameter and the roundness of
the bore of drawing and enamelling
dies. The second function is optional
and can measure the outside diameter
of wires.
The DM 1 is based on an optical
measuring principle. The data acquisi-
tion and evaluation takes place by an
image processing system, which
guarantees highly accurate and
reproducible measurements. The
average measuring time for one die is
about 15 seconds. During that time the
smallest bore diameter is found
automatically and software controlled
by a special autofocus procedure.
Additionally the roundness of the bore
is evaluated and can be displayed in a
diagram on the monitor and in the
measuring protocol printout.
