Cortinovis Machinery SpA Stand: 11D40

Cortinovis Machinery SpA, part of Eurolls Group and a leader in rotating machinery, has supplied and commissioned cable technology including such rotating machines as the Rigid Strander and Drum Twister for the production of high quality Milliken copper conductors up to 3,000mm². To fulfil the tight quality requirements of such large cross section conductors, several aspects of the stranding and laying up processes required special attention and specific developments. Cortinovis Machinery supplied the 91 wire rigid cage strander with updated technical solution on the renewed rotating compacting head for the production of the pre-spiralled sector shape copper conductor up to 600mm 2 . The new self-centring compacting heads have proved its capability of producing high quality pre-spiralled sector shape conductor essential for reaching the approval of the cable quality control test system.

The package includes the Drum Twister machine, capable of receiving large, heavy bobbins up to 4,500mm in diameter – among the largest machines of its type supplied worldwide – with high pull self-centring belt caterpillar type able to lay-up five or six pre-spiralled sector shape copper conductors and round centre, with the very tight diameter tolerance typical of extra high voltage cable conductors. The turnkey supply included not only the cable design but also the supply of all necessary ❍ Rotating manufacturing technology from Cortinovis
