the dies provide the best possible surface finish and/or lower electrical resistance for a given cable size. Friction causes damage and increases electrical resistance. Nano-Dies have lower surface friction than PCD or tungsten carbide dies, so do less damage to the micro-structure of the individual conductor. Smooth dies facilitate the use of less material for the same electrical resistance specification. Applications and materials for Nano-Dies include compacting and stranding, wire and tube drawing, and rod breakdown for aluminium and alloys, copper, brass, low carbon and stainless steel. They have also shown good results in trials using higher carbon steel drawing. Nano-Dies are available in compacting sizes from 0.7 to 120mm. The company also offers PCD dies and service. Its PCD range includes the latest advances in low-tolerance (ultra) fine wire diameter precision PCD from 12 microns in size upwards. Customers are advised to use both PCD and/or Nano-Dies wherever they are best suited, and to understand and take advantage of the differences and benefits of each type of die. Nano-Diamond America, Inc Nano-Dies Pty Ltd www.nano-die.com.au NDC Technologies Inc 11 D68 NDC Technologies, a provider of connected measurement and process control solutions, will be introducing several new products at wire 2022. Visitors to the NDC Technologies (Beta LaserMike Products) stand will see first hand how precise, reliable measurements along the critical points in the cable extrusion process can helpmanufacturers improve product quality, increase productivity and realise production savings.

brakes. Depending on the model, various options are available, such as chucks from ø80 to ø250, collet chucks, magnetic plates and workbenches. Mouton Rivom manufactures shaving heads for various ferrous and non ferrous wire and cable manufacturers. Depending on the material, the shaving heads are efficient on wires from ø1 to 18mm. The shaving process improves the surface finish, removes impurities and corrosion, and is environmentally friendly as it prevents the use of chemicals and makes it possible to recycle the chips generated.

Product introductions will include the new LayScan Pro lay length cable measurement system. NDC Technologies’ original LayScan was a solution for accurately and consistentlymeasuring the lay length of twisted pairs at the cabler. The new LayScan Pro takes lay length measurement a step further, enabling cable makers to precisely monitor and control the lay length of twisted-pair cables as they are being made inside the bow of a twinning machine. NDC will also be debuting its new AccuScan Pro single-axis diameter gauge, which provides 100 per cent inspection of multi-strand wire during production. AccuScan Pro accurately measures the diameter of multi-strand wire and detects missing and broken strands, simultaneously. The system monitors processes in real time for a complete view of product quality. The latest LaserSpeed Pro M series gauge accurately and reliably measures during production the length and speed of long, continuous cylindrical products that bounce and cannot be well guided, that move off-axis, or move out of the measurement range. Other products on display at the stand will include a CenterScan 2010 for non-contact insulation diameter and conductor eccentricity measurements; LN3000 series for three-axis lump and neckdown detection; CapScan for drift-free, in-process capacitance measurements; EFL Pro for excess fibre length measurements; SRL Pro for on line structural return loss prediction; BenchMike Pro off-line diameter and ovality sample part inspection system; and InControl/DataPro advanced process visualisation and control. NDC Technologies Inc www.ndc.com Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co KG 10 C06 With a focus on machinery that enables energy-, material- and cost-efficient production processes, Maschinenfabrik Niehoff’s exhibits will feature several world technological firsts. On show will be a multi-wire drawing line (MMH 112 + RM 202 + S 632), a BMV 16 rotary braiding machine with integrated BAS 800 take-up and payoff unit, and a D 632 double-twist bunching machine with ARP 630 payoff. The MMH 112 + RM 202 + S 632 multi wire drawing line is designed for copper

All of the company’s machines comply with the requirements of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and are exported worldwide. Mouton Rivom www.moutonrivom.com Nano-Diamond America, Inc TBC Nano-Diamond America has relocated to Sydney, Australia, where it is now Nano Dies PL. The company still exclusively supplies the Nano-Die® product. Some of its distributors will be exhibiting at wire 2022. The Nano-Dies product was developed by the company, and it owns the trademark. The company uses experience and feedback from customers to build and complement its technical products, applications, and drawing and compacting process appreciation. Nano-Dies are suitable for those seeking to reduce material waste, as they retain their original size and tolerance for the life of the die. The company claims that
