Torque-style brakes fromMagnetic Technologies ▲ ▲

The magnetic torque brake assembly is impervious to oils and dust that can cause slippage on rope-type brake designs common to older machines. The new magnetic torque brake uses no electricity and, because it is magnetic, has no wearing parts. The new brakes are designed to fit a range of spools. By offering constant torque in every bay, the new design is said to greatly improve product quality and productivity. Torque is fully adjustable.   Magnetic Technologies – USA Fax : +1 508 987 2875 Email : sales@magnetictech.com Website : www.magnetictech.com Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff Endex (NENA), Niehoff’s North American subsidiary, will present the following equipment: The new EDR14 high-speed single wire rod breakdown machine was developed by NENA especially for the American market and is designed for inline operation with high-speed extrusion lines. The drawing machine is designed to operate at speeds up to 45m/s (9,000fpm). The maximum inlet diameter for soft copper wire is 8mm (5/16") and the finish diameter range is from 1.29 – 4.12mm (16 - 6 AWG). The double-twist stranding machine DSI631 is used for a wide conductor cross-section range and a maximum strand diameter of 8mm. The lay length can be freely adjusted from 8 to 180mm; the lay length consistency is less than ± 0.5% of the effective lay length. The DSI631 and the larger version DSI1001 are designed to combine insulated conductors to pairs or quads and to strand conductor pairs into LAN cables and other special cables, either with or without back twist.
