Samp SpA Stand FOC33

Samp will present the enhanced BM 630 E double-twist bunching machine, a compact, reliable and energy-e cient machine. One of the most distinctive features of the BM 630 E is the ability to run the machine without human intervention, thanks to the automatic traversing system, which includes: • Automatic detection of the reel dimensions • Automatic traversing adjust • Programmable strand tension by load cell dancer noise emission are reduced compared to conventional bunching machines due to the implementation of low energy consumption bows, and an energy e ciency architecture ensures high power factor (cosφ). The main production parameters are fully adjustable at the control panel (number of twists, lay length, reel type, speed, production receipt, pay-o control, etc) and maintenance operations are reduced to a minimum. Further relevant characteristics are the fully integrated IPU in one unit (motor and drive) and the pay-o system integration with wire break detection. Users of the machine will bene t from Samp’s 70-year long experience in the development and production of wire manufacturing machines and to the possibility to also add pre-twisters, equalisers, taping units and a wide range of static and dynamic pay-o s with pneumatic dancer for synchronisation. Samp SpA – Italy Website : www.sampsistemi.com Energy consumption and Sikora will showcase its measuring, control, inspection and sorting tech- nology for continuous online quality control in the wire, cable and plastics industries. One highlight is the Purity Scanner. This is a system for the online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets used for the insulation of medium, high and extra-high voltage cables where 100 per cent purity is required. Contaminated pellets are detected and sorted out, assuring that only pure pellets get Sikora AG Stand FOD39

into the extrusion process. The pellet inspection allows for the detection of organic and metallic contamination inside the pellet as well as on the pellet surface, using a special combination of X-ray technology and an optical system. The smallest detectable particle size is 50µm. The Fiber Series 6000 is sophisticated equipment for continuous online quality control of optical bres in the drawing tower. The Fiber Laser 6003 measures the diameter of uncoated and coated bres. Depending on its point of installation, it provides information on the position, vibration frequency, tension and spin- ning. The measuring principle ensures an accuracy of ±0.05µm. For the detection of airlines there is the Fiber Laser 6003 Airline. In addition, further gauge heads provide information on concentricity and temperature of the optical bre. The newly developed Fiber Lump 6003 Micro detects lumps and neckdowns on the optical bre surface to 100 per cent. This is the result of the integration of six measuring axes. Shadow areas are eliminated and even the smallest faults from 5µm height and 50µm length are reliably detected. For online quality control, optimisation of material usage and increased productivity during wire and cable production, Sikora o ers the X-Ray 6000. There are two X-Ray models available, the X-Ray 6000 for quality assurance of single layer products and the X-Ray 6000 Pro for the measurement of single and multi-layer products. ▲ The X-Ray 8000 NXT – quality control during production of MV, HV and EHV cables
