All about keeping control

Often, some work in the construction of the cables can be tedious and take many hours. Whilst this can sometimes be done without the use of an operator, it is important to keep the process under control.

Macchine Speciali’s detector is the right solution for this. The system monitors the progress of all the individual wires on the line and, if a wire does not advance in regular way, the line stops. The system can send an SMS (short message text) to a mobile phone advising about the anomaly and giving the operator the chance to correct the problem. This detector can be mounted in all kinds of line and can be interfaced with all automation systems.

Well known in the industry

Italian company OM Lesmo is well known in the wire and cable industry for its rotat- ing machines. The company offers a complete line of pay-offs and take-ups (spoolers) complementing its rotating and wire drawing machines. The range of pay-off and take-up units by by OM Lesmo include: • Flyer type pay-offs for paying off multi-wires to a bunching machine, available in various sizes. The pay-off tensions can be controlled via mechanical brake, electrical brake or pneumatic brake. Shaftless, pintle-type dynamic pay-offs are also available. These pay-offs are driven pay-offs with a precise tension control system with the use of a dancer unit. They incorporate a unique design for separation of the wire when used for producing 19 strand unilay products on Lesmo double twist or single twist machines • Dual-shaft with individual tension control system vertical flyer type pay-offs produce various cables using insulated material. Pay-off for shielding tapes can also be ac- commodated with these pay-offs • Single twist take-up with back twist pay-offs for unwinding the central core or a number of insulated cables, either in the formof drum twister, single or double twist back twist • Fixed or self traversing pay-offs and take-ups for rigid, planetary, tubular and skip stranders and cablers Additionally, Eurodraw Energy, part of the Lesmo Group, manufacturing non-ferrous wire drawing machinery, offers a selection of pay-offs and take-ups (spoolers) for non- ferrous products. • Double automatic pay-off system for aluminiumand alloy rod in coils for up to 2,700kg. It includes hydraulic tilting frames where coils can be inserted by using a fork truck or coil lifting device; it is designed to receive two coils for continuous pay-off • Automatic dynamic single and double spoolers

• Static spoolers • Down coilers OM Lesmo SpA – Italy
