Exhibitors at wire 2022

2M-Tech GmbH

The latest KSMLDB trend curve with over- dimensional cost from the last KSMLDB measurements will be displayed and updated automatically. When a new data file is saved, the program will check if it is for the line the program is installed at and, if so, automatically display the trend curve in the same manner as in KSMLDB. ACMMeasuring Technology AB www.acmmt.com AEI Machines 11 D14 With 50 years’ experience in the making of rigid stranding machines, AEI Machines (Associated Engineers & Industrials Pvt Ltd) has been selected for projects in regions in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. The company’s rigid stranders meet various safety and conformity certifications, such as CE and CSA. With a focus on technical advancements in the stranding process, AEI has trans lated its understanding of stranding, technology and machine building to ma chines that are designed for performance and resilience. Applications include machines for the manufacture of highly compact round conductors up to 2,500mm 2 in single pass for EHV cables; Milliken segments for conductors up to 3,000mm 2 /500kV; high speed manufacture of conductors for low voltage cables; new generation HTLS conductors, TW/ACCC; high speed manufacture of various overhead ACSR/ AAAC conductors; copper wire screening of high voltage cables; steel wire/strip armouring; and laying up of control cables.

models. One of the recent examples is the development of a machine for screening high voltage cables up to 3,000mm 2 and diameter up to 150mm with 96 wires and in-line taping.” At wire 2022, the AEI Machines team will welcome visitors from all over the world, and will showcase new developments on AEI stranders for high production flexibility, enhanced safety, reduced down time and minimum maintenance. Associated Engineers & Industrials Pvt Ltd www.aeimachines.com AESA Cortaillod 10 A38 Over the last three years, copper and aluminium prices have more than doubled, and this pricing trend is not showing signs of reversal. At the same time, the raw material cost content in the final product remains disproportionally high. Solutions from Swiss wire and cable me trology company AESA Cortaillod allow control of raw material consumption and optimisation of processing time, as well as a quality data management system.

2M-Tech and complete extrusion coating lines for special applications, as well as a wide range of products and components for the manufacture of wires and cables. On display at wire 2022 will be 2M-10, 2M 20 and 2M-45 single-layer crossheads; 2M-10CoEx and 2M-20CoEx coextrusion crossheads for skin and stripes; and 2M-F6-20 FC crosshead for single-layer fluoropolymer. supplies crossheads

2M-Tech will exhibit a range of its equipment for the manufacture of optical fibre and power cables

Bypass manual and hydraulic operation technology will be featured, along with extrusion tools, nano drawing and compacting dies, extruder screws and barrels, ABS and steel cable spools, and linear tape payoff in cooperation with TapeFormers Ltd. 2M-Tech is the sales organisation for KHU cable making equipment. ACMMeasuring Technology AB 09 E40 In the cable industry, the dominating cost is material. ACM Measuring Technology, the maker of KSM cable-measuring machines, will show how accurate off line measuring data from a KSM can help extruder line operators save material. The easy-to-use KSM off-line measur ing system can present trend curves and over-dimensional costs. With the new KSMLine program module, the last meas ured product trend curve with OD cost is continuously updated and presented by the extruder line. The KSMLine module is installed on a Windows PC beside the extruder line. 2M-Tech GmbH www.2m-tech.at

The new Castor automated test equipment for single pair Ethernet cables

Some of the latest developments that AESA Cortaillod will present at wire Düsseldorf are detailed below. A patented method for measuring the linear resistance of insulated conductors by axial current injection: AESA says that this method – used in its Restest systems – is a major improvement in cable measurement of aluminium and copper conductors, and that it improves measurement accuracy and precision, specifically for insulated materials such as waterblock or Milliken. Castor for single pair Ethernet: SPE rep- resents the high-performance parallel

AEI rigid strander for HV cable screening

AEI completed the addition of a modern fabrication facility to meet market demands. “We continuously explore, develop and prototype new concepts that we can implement on our machines, enhancing their performance,” said Alok Jain, AEI executive director. “Our recent design developments in terms of engineering and automation are featured in our latest Machines recently
