Nearly 120 visitors participated in the trip to see the NCZ in-house exhibition

Trend-setting wire and cable manufacturing equipment

By the end of the trade fair week, around 600 guests had seen the new RBD line. The centrepieces of the line on display were the new MSM 88 drawing machine, driven by torque motors, and the new R 503 continuous resistance annealer, which uses the patented Niehoff HEAT system (high efficiency annealing technology). This technology enables users to cut energy costs and CO 2 emissions. The Niehoff experts were able to calculate figures for individual customer cases directly at the event, giving an idea of the benefits for the customer. Niehoff added an extra highlight for customers on the last day of the trade fair, with a one-day flight and bus trip from Düsseldorf Airport via Prague

Airport to Niehoff’s Czech subsidiary, NCZ in Nymburk, where an in-house exhibition awaited the visitors. The focus was on the demonstration of a D 2002 double twist stranding machine, which stranded 61 copper wires to a conductor cross-section of 400mm 2 . Designed to strand and compact class 2 conductors for power cables and flexible class 5 conductors as well as to strand insulated wires, the D 2002 provides cable manufacturers with the ability to produce larger size power cables, increasingly in demand due to the growing global need for electrical energy.

The company, one of the largest exhibitors in Düsseldorf, presented a series of innovations in the fields of wire drawing, bobbin rewinding, braiding and the NPS automotive wire packaging system, as well as its new extended service concept, Niehoff LifeCycle+.
