wire 2014 Optical fibre coating systems : • Top speed optical fibre processing systems • Optical fibre colour coding up to 3,000m/min • Ring marking of optical fibres • Tight buffering up to 1,300m/min • Fibre ribbon production with excellent ribbon planarity and for speeds up to 1,000m/min • CFU production of compact fibre units Thanks to the modularity and flexibility of its systems, Medek & Schörner was able to use some of its machinery in other applications, including some outside the field of optical fibres. These include: • Copper wire insulation with UV varnishes (enamelled wire) • Manufacture of dimension-sensitive precision micro flexible flat cables (FFC) using UV resins Medek & Schörner covers virtually the entire spectrum of machines for marking cables and coding optical fibres, in particular for power, telecom and data cables. Medek & Schörner GmbH – Austria Website : www.medek.at Maschinenfabrik Niehoff Stand: 10C18 Niehoff will present the following equipment at wire 2014: • Multiwire drawing line MMH 104 + RMA 201 for wires made of aluminium and aluminium alloys • Rotary braiding machine BMI 124 (new) • Conductive-inductive annealer RI 120 F • Special cable stranding line ARD 630 D + ALB 600 + D 801 • Bunching machine D 632 + ARP 630 In a separate booth area, Niehoff’s after-sales-service will introduce its comprehensive offer and wear parts with the ‘Niehoff Original+ components’ label. Also at the stand will be HFSAB, specialist in horizontal lead extruders and cable repair and recovering systems. Niehoff engineers and manufactures machinery for drawing, annealing, galvanic electro-plating, bunching, spooling, rewinding and braiding of non-ferrous wires. Machines for stranding, coiling and spooling of insulated data and special cables are also part of the production portfolio.

Pourtier Stand: 10E38

The Pourtier division of Gauder Group has strengthened its range of production with large equipment required for the production of submarine and umbilical cables. The company will exhibit a concentric strander for four reels, 1,200mm. The COS1200-4 unit is a unique machine which has proven its worth over the last five years, demonstrating its effectiveness to reduce operating costs thanks to an ingenious power regeneration system and a reduced Cu/Al consumption.

❍ Single twist strander from Pourtier

Several machines are in production throughout the world and many units are on order. A single twist strander type ‘ST2000’ will represent the range of laying-up and steel wire armouring machines for special, instrumentation and control cables. Pourtier France provides high quality stranders and cablers made in Europe with the highest standards in design and manufacturing for the production of all types of high voltage and extra-high voltage power cable, from overhead to insulated, AC type (using high quality Milliken conductor) or DC type (using large round compacted conductor or trapezoidal wires). Upgrading and services departments will highlight most recent developments to maintain and improve production capacity of existing machinery. Pourtier – France Website : www.gaudergroup.com
