Moreover, the BMV type machines can be used to produce mechanical reinforcements for high- pressure hoses and medical catheters. Additional features of the BMV machines include infinitely variable electronic control of the line speed and the braiding pitch, as well as automatic central lubrication. The machines can be equipped with a low bobbin detection device which automatically stops the machine when a braiding bobbin is nearly empty.

The Niehoff Package System NPS The Niehoff Package System (NPS) consists of special spoolers and spools. The NPS was developed mainly for high-speed production of automotive wires but is also being applied for other kind of wire products. The spoolers use a patented wire- laying technology to spool the wires

conically onto specially designed multiway spools made of ABS. The spools offer a secure hold of the product both when full or part-empty and can be fully dismantled. At present the NPS spool range includes eight different models and sizes.

Among the NPS spoolers, the new SV410D type double spooler takes full account of recent trends in the automotive wire manufac- turing industry towards the production and handling of wires with steadily decreasing diameters at steadily increasing production speeds. ➣➢➣
