➣➢➣ capacity, allowing high production rates, low number of bobbin changes and reduced machine downtime. OMA will also display the braiding machine type 16/104 HCM/C, designed to satisfy each customer’s needs in terms of flexibility, reliability and speed. Its main applications are wire and cable, such as coaxial, antenna, computer, etc; shielding of wire and cables; catheters and medical products; small reinforced products; glass and composite fibre products. The company will also present the new carrier type 140FT/PG on a 16/1-140 FT/EC braiding machine, the ideal combination for aramid and polyester yarn for thermoplastic and rubber hoses reinforcement.

Otomec Srl 11 B28

OM Lesmo SpA 11 A28

Otomec manufactures customised cleaning and plating plants for the wire, cable and strips industry. Clean wire is vital to improve drawing speed and final quality level, while an electro-plated surface (zinc-tin-nickel-brass-silver) is required to match the high-level standards for wire and strip technology, like extended life to corrosion, improved power transmission, and facilitated lubrication. This also helps with cost-saving procedures such as forming final products (springs, rivets, buckets etc) directly from plated material. Through a wide range of machines, sized to perform small volumes of products as well as large outputs, single or multi-strand, reel to reel, speed up to 20m/sec, Otomec is able to provide you with the necessary equipment.

OM Lesmo has recently delivered the largest double twist strander in the market, suitable for take-up reels up to Ø2,500mm, to obtain strands up to 61 wires for low and medium voltage. This is a new alternative to the conventional stranders. Advantages are higher productivity, shorter loading times, improved overall efficiency and, above all, quicker return on the investment. OM Lesmo has produced double twist stranders for more than 30 years. In the last 15 years this type of machine has been used for up to 37-wire strands. Now, with an original and dedicated approach, the new machine has the following general specification: • technology: double twist with external capstan (single twist process) • max cross section of the obtained products: 500mm 2 Aluminium, 240mm 2 Copper • suitable for low and medium voltage products The performance of the machine is remarkable: the real working speed is 300 to 600 twists per minute, the production speed can reach 120m/min, and the time to reload the take-up reel is 10 minutes. • take-up reel: up to Ø2,500 mm flange • max number of wires: 61

Of particular interest are:

• Model OTO 5 – patented modular, multi- functional plant for in-line preparation of iron wire rod

• Model OTO4 – complete plant for the electro-plating of steel and non-ferrous wire

• Model OTO’FF LINE – reel to reel or basket plant for copper, brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, superconductor, alloys, fine tubes

• Model OTO2 – in-line coppering of 5mm maximum wire – speed up to 20m/sec
