It’s a deal! Pourtier and Setic, France, both part of the Gauder Group, research and develop machines and complete lines for copper data cables. The companies have developed the ‘Triple Twist’ Process, for which patenting rights have been applied for and granted in important markets. Niehoff, Germany, modified its double twist bunchers for bare wire to make them suitable for the manufacturing of copper data cables, and applied for an international patent for the Back Twist Payoffs with improved Triple Twist Process. The Gauder Group and Niehoff have agreed to a license agreement, in which both parties grant themselves the right for utilising the existing patent rights for machines and equipment as well as for the Triple Twist Process.

l Successful show for Nabertherm

Nabertherm, Germany, is a furnace manufacturer with an annual production of over 7,000 furnaces. The company has reported that its booth at the GIFA in Düsseldorf attracted a great deal of interest, with the majority of visitors seeking furnace solutions for their specific needs. The company’s 130m 2 booth featured several different chamber furnaces, and various melting and holding furnaces for the modern foundry. Of special interest to foundry experts was the presentation of a new series of PLC-controlled crucible furnaces for the melting and holding of non-ferrous metals. The advantage of these furnaces is the flexible operation mode, which can be defined as required. The user-friendly automatic mode can be programmed to cover requirements, from quick-melting in chamber control to precise melt bath control using a cascade, allowing for constant quality of the molten metal while holding.

Nabertherm’s booth hosted eleven furnaces
