➣➢➣ • Video system for monitoring the print quality of fast-running cable printing machines, eg allowing real-time inspection for bad quality and/or missing prints • Laser marking system for cables Optical fibre coating systems, including top speed optical fibre processing systems, include: • Optical fibre colour coding up to 3,000m/min • Ring marking of optical fibres at speeds up to 1,150m/min • Tight buffering up to 1,300m/min • Fibre ribbon production with excellent ribbon planarity and for speeds up to 1,000m/min • Production of compact fibre units Copper wire insulation with UV varnishes (enamelled wire), and the manufacture of dimension-sensitive precision micro flexible flat cables (FFC) using UV resins will also be exhibited. Medek & Schörner GmbH – Austria Website : www.medek.at Maschinenfabrik Niehoff Stand .....................................W1F43 Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff Machinery Changzhou Co Ltd (NMC), its Chinese subsidiary, will display an MMH 101 + RM 161 type multi-wire drawing machine, a D 630.5 type high speed double twist bunching machine and an SV 400 D type double spooler. The MMH 101 + RM 161 type multi-wire drawing line is designed for the simultaneous drawing of eight or 16 copper wires to a minimum final diameter of 0.5, 0.08mm with inline annealing and can work with a maximum speed of 36m/s. More than 1,100 MMH units are working worldwide. MMH multiwire drawing machines are designed for copper and aluminium wires. The wires drawn on MMH machines exceed the most demanding specifications and processing requirements in view of electrical conductivity, surface quality and mechanical properties and can be processed to multi-wire bundles with outstanding characteristics. The SV 400 D type double spooler for insulated wires is designed for the non-stop production of NPS packages (Niehoff Package System) and when installed behind an extrusion line is capable of spooling automotive primary cable at a speed of up to

1,200m/min. The spooler can process cables with a cross-section of 0.22 to 6mm² and a outer diameter of 1 to 5mm (including insulation) and is capable of accommodating all NPS 400 multi-way spools with a traverse width of 100 to 400mm. The D 630.5 double twist bunching machine built by NMC under Niehoff licence is adapted to specific requirements of the Chinese market. The machine is designed for strands with a cross section of 0.09 to 6mm² and accommodates spools with a maximum flange diameter of 630mm. It is equipped with AC drive technology and Niehoff’s ECO-Bow. A co-exhibitor at the stand will be H Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB), a specialist in lead extrusion and cable stripping equipment from Sweden, with the latest generation of the CRRS (Cable Repair and Recovery System). Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.niehoff.de OEG GmbH Stand .....................................W1F50 The DM 1 is a newly developed optical gauge for diameter and roundness of wire drawing dies, enamelling dies and wires. The gauge combines two measuring functions in one device. The main measuring functions are the inside diameter and the roundness of the bore of drawing and enamelling dies. The second function is optional and can measure the outside diameter of wires. The DM 1 is based on an optical measuring principle. The data acquisi- tion and evaluation takes place by an image processing system, which guarantees highly accurate and reproducible measurements. The average measuring time for one die is about 15 seconds. During that time the smallest bore diameter is found automatically and software controlled by a special autofocus procedure. Additionally the roundness of the bore is evaluated and can be displayed in a diagram on the monitor and in the measuring protocol printout. ❍ The SV 400 D type double spooler from Niehoff ➣➢➣
