Exhibitors at wire 2022

Rosendahl Nextrom has been working on developing a solution for this problem. RoSET (Rosendahl Superior Extrusion Technology) introduces more sustainable production technology for MV power cables up to 18/30 (36) kV based on PPC. With the same performance and standards, it can reduce CO 2 emissions and lead-time during production. Another environmental issue is the use of lead for submarine power cables. Since 2020, lead has been listed as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) by the EU, and must be substituted by 2027. Rosendahl Nextrom’s latest innovation helps to replace this resource. The new RH-W metal-forming, welding and corrugating line helps producers to make cables more sustainable, without lead. The metal barrier fulfils several electrical functions as well as many protective functions. Visitors to the Rosendahl Nextrom stand at wire 2022 will be able to find out more about this technology.

Each project starts with understanding the product and process requirements to define machine characteristics, and ends with a machine design specific to the application. The company will exhibit its capa- bilities and developments in stranding technology for copper and aluminium conductors with single-twist, double twist, concentric, roll forming and SIW conductors. The technology includes double-twist shielding for instrumentation cable; drum twisters, planetary, single and double-twist, and S/Z for cabling; group twinners for LAN cable; strip armouring (50/125mm) including in-line cabling and packaging; and auxiliary equipment including payoffs, take-ups, taping, binders, yarn servers, capstans and caterpullers. strip armouring machine with improvements in operator experience and reduced maintenance will be featured, along with the company’s roll forming of compact aluminium conductors in-line with the stranding process, allowing a range of conductors to be stranded from one round input wire size (SIW). This reduces work-in-process inventory and improves productivity. Also featured will be S/Z cabling tech- nology for high-speed cabling of control and instrumentation, fire alarm and similar cables, which provides the ability to cable from stems and output onto any size reel. Company personnel in attendance will be president Mike Marshall, VP manufacturing Martin Boyne and sales manager Kevin Dancy. Roteq Machinery Inc www.roteqmachinery.com Saizar Strapping Machines SL 13 B32 Saizar Strapping Machines’ latest auto- matic line for wire coils was designed to meet the client’s needs, using wire coils in baskets that have been modified to work in an automatic line. Once the coil enters the line, the next step is to compact in accordance with the client’s requirements, as well as to carry out the strapping process automatically with steel or PET strap through two automatic strapping machines. The line includes a tilting system that helps to move the wire coil from the basket. Roteq’s next-generation V16

Roblon processes reinforcement fibres for optic cables that connect networks globally. The main component of the reinforcement fibres is usually fibreglass, aramid or polyester, but Roblon adds value to the fibres by applying a functional coating. The main purpose of the coating is to make the fibres watertight or rodent resistant, but it alsomakes the fibres more robust in the customer’s production. As a manufacturer of cable-making equipment, Roblon specialises in binders and servers. The machines are designed to handle different types of fibre, from very soft, low-shrinkage polyester yarns to glass fibre strength members. Roblon’s experience and knowledge of cable fibres and cable machinery offers customers a wide range of benefits, as the company has the necessary expertise in both the manufacturing of the fibres and how to use the materials for cable manufacturing. The development of new products typically takes place in close cooperation between customers and Roblon’s R&D department, and in-house testing and laboratory facilities provide thorough documentation and testing. Engineers and experts study and refine each coating process and test the solutions for endurance. Roblon holds both the ISO 14001 environmental management certification and the ISO 9001 quality management certification. Roblon A/S www.roblon.com Rosendahl Nextrom GmbH 09 A60 Two major infrastructure topics have attracted a lot of attention in recent years: the environment and the need for fast Internet. The cable industry plays an important role in both. Reducing electrical waste is a key part of environmental responsibility, but cables are still hard to recycle. Video conferences and remote work are tests for anyone’s Internet connection, and the expansion of fast Internet access is an important infrastructure project. Suppliers can feel the market pressure for more sustainable production and products. So far, it has been almost impossible to offer an ecological alternative to common plastic materials while maintaining the high standards of existing coatings.

Rosendahl Nextrom’s RH-W line will be featured in Düsseldorf

As bandwidth and data usage constantly increase, the requirements for high performance fibre optic cables rise. More countries are expanding their 5G coverage, while 1 Tb/s 6G is already in development. At the same time, funding for fibre to the home is increasing. Rosendahl Nextrom’s research and development centre located in Vantaa, Finland, tests and improves OVD and VAD preform technology to maintain and even boost limits. At wire Düsseldorf the company will reveal the optical fibre performance that is possible with the latest developments in preform and fibre optic cable technology.
