and integrated controls to ensure fully automatic wire tension through a production run. Following the upgrade, the customer reported increased plant productivity and process reliability through continuous production (without manual intervention) in the control of strand tension. Set-up times were reduced with the recipe management feature, and the monitoring of cradle locks increased operator safety. FMS Force Measuring Systems AG www.fms-technology.com

stranding heads, heavy compaction systems and water-blocking application systems for yarn and powder. The machines are required to provide consistent and smooth tension across all wires. FLYMCA designs and manufactures its machinery in Spain. The company FLYRO is involved in second-hand equipment for the cable market, and holds a large inventory. FLYMCA, SL www.flymca.com FMS Force Measuring Systems AG 11 D30 FMS Force Measuring Systems, a Swiss based supplier of strand tension control systems for the wire and cable industry, has worked on an upgrade for a supplier of automotive wire. The project was for a 1995 18-spool Niehaus planetary strander (including variable reverse rotation) with two cages (six and 12 payoffs each) that required an upgrade. The customer was seeking to include closed-loop tension control for each of the wire strands in addition to other upgrades.

The strander is used in production of highly flexible special cables

The strander is used for the production of highly flexible special cables, including some in very small production runs. As part of the upgrade project, an FMS RTM X42 telemetry system for continuous wire tension control was installed. Installation and start-up of the RTM X42 control system took two days. The entire revamp – carried out on-site – took several weeks, including grinding, new paint and new bearings. The project included a control centre that provides for closed-loop tension control on up to 42 individual wires, monitoring of tension limit values, recipe management and data logging for quality reference. It also required a brake control package that provides the mechanical actuators
