cage stranding line, well known to most cable manufacturers. MFL Group, thanks to the 50 years’ experience of OM Lesmo, can propose the best solution to meet this challenge: the large double twist model DTO lines, going from Ø1,600mm to 2,500mm. The perfectly balanced technology enables these machines to strand up to 500mm 2 copper conductors and up to 630mm 2 aluminium conductors. The advantages related to this modern application are clear: +44 per cent of rotational speed (DTO2000 compared to a standard rigid cage line), and non-stop production with the use of coil pay-offs. The only time this stops is to change take-up reels. As with all machines proposed by MFL Group, you will find all the latest technology for a modern production machine: AC motors electronically controlled with inverters, web connection to the control panel of the line, production recipes to be saved on the system, and all the features of an advanced MFL Group machine.

The butt welders are built by Micro Products Company, a USA-based manufacturer of butt and flash welders since 1928. Wire and cable companies in over 30 countries including India, China, Japan and South Korea now use Micro-Weld butt welding equipment. The welders are also used by manufacturers of fasteners, ❍ Efficient welding solutions from Micro-Weld Micro-Weld Stand: C02

Optical fibre coating systems: • Top speed optical fibre processing systems • Optical fibre colour coding up to 3,000m/min • Ring marking of optical fibres • Tight buffering up to 1,300m/min • Fibre ribbon production with excellent ribbon planarity, for speeds up to 1,000m/min • Production of compact fibre units Thanks to the modularity and flexibility of its systems, Medek & Schörner has been able to implement other applications, including some outside the field of optical fibres: • Copper wire insulation with UV varnishes (enamelled wire) • Manufacture of dimension-sensitive precision micro flexible flat cables (FFC) using UV resins Medek & Schörner GmbH – Austria Website : www.medek.at

In recent years, interest in power cables has increased in the Southeast Asia region, due to the tendency to switch from overhead cables to underground installations, following the process of modernisation that is occurring in most of the large metropolitan areas in the region.

Two main parameters become vital for the cable manufacturer: productivity and consistency of the production quality. To achieve each of these manufacturing realities, the manufacturer needs to be able to react quickly to customer requests, which typically need to be delivered in short time. The fight to remain competitive will be increasingly focused on reaction time and flexibility in the manufacturing process. For this reason, the answer to this market requirement can no longer be handled with conventional manufacturing methods, which use a traditional rigid ❍ Productivity and consistency of production quality are high on the agenda for MFL Group
