material pressed out of the welding zone), so the joint remains the same diameter as the original cable, with no thickening. All motion sequences, ie clamping and upset processes as well as flash removal, are performed hydraulically. The welding zone is much shorter in this method than it is in welds using tubes. The flexibility of the conductor is influenced only in this short area. The trend continues to move towards increasingly larger cable cross sections. In order to meet demand for welding machines for cable cross sections of 1,600 to 2,000mm², August Strecker introduced the Type MK 300-3P double-upset butt-welding machine. This machine welds copper cable from 185mm² up to a maximum cross section of 2,500mm² (5,000 kcmil), which translates to an outside diameter of around 65.5mm. August Strecker GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.strecker-limburg.de Troester GmbH & Co KG Stand K18 Troester GmbH & Co KG is a supplier of machines and complete lines for the cable manufacturing and rubber processing industry, comprising CV lines for XLPE and rubber cables, silane lines, sheathing and insulation lines. In Bangkok, Troester will present its technology and solutions in the field of: • High voltage CCV and VCV line concepts for XLPE power cables up to 500kV • Medium voltage CCV lines (35kV) • Sheathing lines for medium and high voltage cables

Windak specialises in automatic packaging solutions for the wire and cable industry and has offices in Sweden, USA, Australia, Estonia and Shanghai. The company will present the latest information about its new products such as Quickpack QP3, Coil packer D-pack, Spoolers SW6-14 and AR18-DB. Quickpack is a fully automatic cable coiling and packaging machine. It is a concept based on absolute simplicity and maximum output, and has been designed to accommodate a range of product diameters up to 7mm with maximum speed up to eight coils per minute.

The company’s team will provide information about the complete product range, including new MSD gauges for diameter and ovality measurement based on linear sensor technology, and 1, 2 and 3-axis dia- meter gauges for any cable and wire and any budget. Besides the complete line of ODAC laser diameter gauges, new models with special beam geometry, fault detection function and high scan rate will be exhibited. Zumbach will also be promoting the advanced ODEX concentricity and diameter gauge for wire extrusion, which is fully non-contact, and based on magnetic and laser technology; new ultrasonic wall thickness and eccentricity scanners of the UMAC series with quick and easy adaptation to cable diameters and space-saving integration; and Profilemaster profile and shape measurement systems using light section principle and machine vision. As well as state-of-the-art spark tester systems and advanced KW fault detectors with new local BAE control and display unit, visitors to the company’s stand will find information on modular high performance USYS IPC data acquisition, processing and display units. Zumbach’s complete measuring and control systems include the Rayex D series X-ray measuring and control system for CV lines, for wall thickness (three layers), eccentricity and diameter/ovality for CV lines; and Wallmaster/UMAC – Diacal systems – ultrasonic wall thickness and eccentricity systems for cable jackets and Diacal option for fully automatic calibration and control.

D-pack is a new solution for shrink film packaging of coils. The D-pack is a shrink filmed coil with a hole in the centre allowing the user to carry the coils on the arms or to be put on a rack during transport. The breakthrough development of the Windak D-pack allows for a faster coiling process than traditional coiling lines with wrapping of the coils. It is developed for 1mm-6mm single conductor and maximum 300mm OD coil size. Windak will also show solutions for a large range of pay-off, take-up and other material handling and packaging machines.
