25-28 September 2024 Shanghai, China

The X-Ray 8700 NXT measures the final product dimensions at the end of the CV line, both horizontally and vertically aligned. By using Sikora measuring systems at both the beginning and the end of production, shrinkage values are determined for all three insulation layers of the cable, ensuring optimum process control. Particularly in the manufacture of high voltage and submarine cables, it is essential that contamination, which can occur during production, does not get into the insulation of power cables. The Purity Scanner Advanced uses X-ray technology and optical cameras to detect contaminants such as metal from a size of 50µm in the pellets, and automatically sorts out impurities. This ensures that only pure material is processed further, minimises break- downs, ensures the quality of the cable and saves follow-up costs. The function and advantages of the system will be demonstrated at wire China using a hybrid exhibit. Sikora AG www.sikora.net Troester GmbH & Co KG is a worldwide manufacturer of complete extrusion systems for the cable industry, comprising CV lines for XLPE and rubber cables, silicone insulation lines, sheathing and insulation lines, as well as a complete range of downstream equipment, such as winders, caterpillars, capstans and accumulators. In China, Troester is represented by its subsidiary Troester Machinery Shanghai (TMS), which is responsible for the sales and after-sales service and production for the domestic market.

Also being premiered at wire China, the Laser Pro for cable diameter measure- ment is based on the established Laser series, in use in numerous extrusion lines worldwide. Three models of Laser Pro cover a product dimension range of 0.1 to 51mm. The diffraction analysis in combination with pulse-controlled laser diodes produces 500,000 measuring points per second per measuring axis across the entire measuring field. These are summarised in 5,000 meas ured values per second per measuring axis, ensuring that the values supplied are both accurate and repeatable.

At wire China 2024, Troester will present information and new developments in the fields of CCV and VCV lines for MV, HV and EHV cables up to 1,000 kV; rubber CV and CCV lines up to 35 kV; and production equipment for submarine cables. The compounding division of Troester (X-Compound) is specialised in com plete systems for the compounding of plastics with the process steps convey ing, melting, dispersing, mixing and degassing. The compounding division will present kneader technology for the continuous compounding of HFFR (LSOH), PVC, XLPE and semi-conductive materials. Troester GmbH & Co KG www.troester.de At wire and Tube China, Wafios will exhibit the FMU 40 E bending machine designed for components for the e-mobility sector, as well as the RBV 60 ST stabiliser bar bending machine, the FUL 16+ compression spring machine and the BMZ 6 tube bending machine for small parts. Wafios develops, designs and produces specialist machinery for the wire and tube processing industry and for cold forging applications, and has more than 130 years of experience. The range of products includes more than 130 types of machine, equipped with the latest software, artificial intelligence and IoT. The FMU 40 E is a powerful bending machine for producing hairpins and electromagnetic coils. It offers a revolutionary bending technique and straightforward operation with the WPS 3.2 EasyWay programming system. It has a unique machine concept for the production of hairpins, electromagnetic coils and stator connection assemblies on one machine. The patented tool system combines active rotary-draw bending with the agility of conventional wire bending tools, and actively prevents thickening of the material. The newly developed feed unit prevents deformations in the profiled material, and a simulation of the bending process allows checks for feasibility and collisions. The new HQ bending technique combines the advantages of forging tools with the flexibility of a CNC bending process. Wafios AG Stand: E1 A03

The new Centerview Pro measures the eccentricity and diameter of cables

The short exposure time of less than 1/1,000,000 second allows the individual measured values to be recorded with maximum image sharpness, providing measuring accuracy even at high line speeds and with product vibrations. The third new product being introduced at wire China is the LM Smart, for non contact length measurement of wires and cables. Compared to conventional contact-based solutions, there is no slippage or wear. Once the device has been set up, no calibration or re parameterisation are required. In the field of power cable production, the X-Ray 8000 provides measurement values to ensure the quality of cables during production while saving material. At wire China, Sikora will present the third generation of the measuring system X-Ray 8000 Advanced, which measures the wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter of cables in CV lines immediately after the injection head, to provide values for centring and control without distortion.

The Troester Team will welcome visitors to the stand at wire China 2024
