such as flat automotive conductors. The technology offers continuous, multi layer measurement of up to five layers simultaneously, with digital signal processing. Characteristics are the system’s flexibility to cope with wide ranges of material types and product shapes and sizes, combined with a simplified operator interface, making configuration easy. The solution includes an integrated web server and standardised industrial communication protocols that allow connectivity over Profinet IO, Ethernet/ IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, OPC UA and others. For insulation testing of wires and cables for insulating, sheathing and packaging lines, the high-frequency Sparktester AST H 15A offers in-line fault testing on single wires and cables during the extruding or rewinding process. The compact device provides operational reliability, precision and performance, while offering an extensive range of industrial interfaces for use with any machine environment.

endseal Trendseal; silicone insulation lines with Triox ovens; and production equipment for submarine cables. The compounding division of Troester (X-Compound) specialises in complete compounding systems, covering conveying, melting, dispersing, mixing and degassing. It will showcase kneader technology for continuous compound- ing of HFFR (LS0H), PVC, XLPE, semi conductive materials and EPR/EPDM.

A focus will be on the company’s coil in-a-box solution, which eliminates the need for plastic by placing the ready coil directly inside the box. This minimises the impact on machine performance caused by manual handling and optimises both output and efficiency. The Windak team will also discuss solar cable spooling solutions, particularly the AR model spooler, which has been successfully tested with solar cables and can operate either in-line with an extrusion line or off-line from a drum using a payoff. The AR spooler features an option to switch between left-to right and right-to-left operation, and includes a “change on the fly” feature, an intelligent scrap handling system, and a “no break” stretch wrap system. “As India’s cable manufacturing industry continues to expand, automation is crucial for increasing efficiency while maintaining sustainability and competitiveness,” said Dieter Gerger, sales manager at Windak Group. “At wire India, we would love to discuss with the cable manufacturers about automating their cable packaging department and how we can work together to increase output and improve reliability so that they can meet the growing market demands.” Windak Group www.windakgroup.com Zumbach, a manufacturer of online measuring systems for optimising prod- uct quality, manufacturing efficiency and production costs for the wire and cable, plastic and rubber extrusion and steel industries, will be promoting a range of its technologies at wire India. Simac® provides an advanced surface quality inspection solution that utilises image processing to detect and identify material defects and anomalies in the production of cables, pipes and hoses. Surface defects that can occur during the manufacturing process include scratches, ridges, bubbles and cracks, as well as incomplete crystallisation, burnt material, inclusions, missing coatings and colour defects. Utilising the Ultrasonic measurement principle of Wallmaster, the Umac® Flat support holder provides a measuring solution for the growing requirements of flat extruded products, allowing in-line measurement, data acquisition and control of products Zumbach Electronic AG Stand: L67

KW fault detector is used for surface fault detection, including lumps and neckdowns in cables, wires, tubes and hoses. Zumbach’s optical lump and neckdown fault detectors operate at high line speeds while maintaining accuracy and stability. Using advanced three-axis measuring optics, they are immune to ambient and scattered light, are dust resistant and provide intelligent fault processing. Zumbach offers a wide range of other solutions based on different measurement technologies, including Odac laser diameter measurement for external dimension measuring; Odex eccentricity sensors for diameter, ovality, concentricity and eccentricity measurement of single conductor wires and cables; and Profilemaster® PMM for complete geometric shape detection with up to 150 geometry captures per second.
