dimensions and tolerances. Decreasing cable sheath thicknesses are setting high demands, whether in the controlled application of strength members around a sensitive high-count bre centre, or the precise and uniform lay of the same strength members to ensure quality in the extrusion process. Tension control is becoming an increasingly important part of e cient production of quality cables. Roblon’s new tension measuring system enables customers to accurately control tension when applying performance bres such as aramid yarns, exible glass strength members and FRP.

• Roll forming of compact aluminium conductors in-line with the stranding process, allowing a range of conductors to be stranded from one round input wire size (SIW). This reduces work-in-process inventory and improves productivity • S/Z cabling technology for high-speed cabling of control and instrumentation, re alarm and similar cables, which provides the ability to cable from stems and output onto any size reel • Optical bre stranding using planetary, rigid cage and drum twisters for ribbon, loose tube and tight bu er cables Company personnel in attendance will be Mike Marshall (president), Martin Boyne (VP manufacturing) and Kevin Dancy (sales manager). Roteq Machinery, Inc www.roteqmachinery.com SACO AEI delivers resins, compounds and additives to the global wire and cable market from its principle operations in the UK, Malaysia and the USA. At wire, the company’s sales managers and technical associates will be in attendance to discuss new product developments and solutions speci c to wire and cable. The technology-driven company focuses on optimising quality and e ciency, and adding value to customers’ products, by developing and manufacturing a full range of solutions.

solution for MV cable production that uses polypropylene-based compounds – something that has not been commercially available so far. Optical bre production is a segment where the limits are continually pushed towards faster, better and stronger solutions. The company’s Vantaa-based OVD and VAD preform R&D centre is constantly testing and improving the technology to maintain and extend boost limits. The company will reveal the optical bre performance possible with Nextrom’s preform technology. ▲ Nextrom provides technology for OVD and VAD preform production Roteq Machinery Inc Stand: 09 B21 Roteq Machinery will exhibit its capabilities and developments in stranding technology for copper and aluminium conductors with single-twist, double-twist, concentric, roll forming and SIW conductors, as well as double-twist shielding for instrumentation cable, drum twisters (planetary, single- and double-twist and S/Z for cabling), group twinners for LAN cable, and 50mm/125mm strip armouring, including in-line cabling and packaging. Auxiliary equipment will include payo s, take-ups, taping, binders, yarn servers, capstans, and caterpullers in custom engineered solutions. Technology featured on the company’s stand will include: • High-speed precision planetary cabling utilising driven rotating payo s and take-up with no slip rings or brushes • Roteq’s next-generation V16 strip armouring machine, featuring improvements in operator experi- ence and reduced maintenance Rosendahl Nextrom GmbH www.rosendahlnextrom.com

Roblon SE series server

At wire, Roblon will showcase its server with individual tension control, tted with at FRP elements on ange reels. This combination re ects some of the latest developments in the FOC industry, where at FRPs are used to design strong and durable cables without compromising the exibility and behaviour of the nished cable. Roblon A/S www.roblon.com Commitment, and technological evolutions will be the core topics of Rosendahl Nextrom’s presentation. The market has reached a new level of technology. Digitalisation is in full swing in the cable business and sustainability is an ever-present buzzword. As an Austrian and Finnish supplier whose environmental, technological and safety standards must comply with strict regulations, these developments have become a foundation for Rosendahl Nextrom. The company will demonstrate this during wire, by means of its smart line control system Rio, coupled with SmartCall service support. RoSET (Rosendahl Superior Extrusion Technology) is also an example of these developments. RoSET is a new transparency Rosendahl Nextrom Stand: 09 A60
