Cimteq is a supplier of cable design software to the wire and cable industry. The company’s flagship product, CableBuilder, allows cable manufacturers to take a new approach to cable design that results in a more efficient design process. Since 1998, Cimteq has focused on the development and delivery of knowledge- based design software to provide cable producing companies with a solution to speed up their design process, reduce quotation lead time and improve customer service. Over the years, Cimteq’s customer base has expanded to include Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Africa. It is not a surprise that CableBuilder was received so well internationally. The application was developed with the aid of cable design and sales departments from different countries with different cultures and working practices. Today’s CableBuilder is a feature rich application with the flexibility to model any cable construction in any working environment.

Clinton Instrument Company will be displaying the new AC30AR/BD-A418 mains frequency spark test unit for the first time in Europe. This 30KV unit was designed for larger cables that require elevated test voltages. Fully CE approved and Profibus- ready, the AC-30AR offers ease of string-up and reduced shipping costs due to a smaller cubic requirement. The new electrode design allows the operator to move the cable horizontally into a split electrode that places half of the beads on each side of the cable. The electrode is supported off the rear of the unit, assuring no path to ground should water enter the high voltage section.

All electronics and high voltage generation are located in the rear of the machine for protection from stray water damage. Operator controls are housed in a small enclosure that can easily be remotely rack- mounted and connected via a RS-485 cable, allowing flexible and convenient placement of the electrode in the wire line. Optional Profibus, Ethernet and Analogue modules allow for easy connection to line control systems; contact connection points for simple rewind line configurations are accessible as well.
