➣➢➣ • CenterScan 2010 eccentricity measurement system for the accurate, dependable gauging of insulation diameter and conductor eccentricity of wire and cable to maximise product quality and reduce production scrap. • LaserSpeed ® non-contact laser gauge for measuring the length and speed of products with better than ±0.05% accuracy and ±0.02% repeatability, delivering significant quality, productivity and manufacturing savings. • BenchMike, the industry’s leading off-line part/sample inspection system with over 15,000 gauges installed worldwide, now with larger high-resolution display. • DataPro process controllers that capture product and process data from Beta LaserMike gauges in real time to efficiently control processes at every step, from start-up through production to final quality checks. NDC Technologies – USA Website : www.ndc.com Maschinenfabrik Niehoff Niehoff Machinery Changzhou Co Ltd Stand W1F63 Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff Machinery Changzhou Co Ltd (NMC), its Chinese subsidiary, will display an MMH 121 + RM 201 type multi-wire drawing machine from Germany and a D 631.5 + ARP 630 type high speed double twist bunching machine made by NMC. H Folke Sandelin AB (HFSAB), specialist in horizontal lead extrusion and cable repair and recovery systems, will also be a co-exhibitor. The multi-wire drawing machine MMH 121 is designed to simul- taneously draw 14 wires in one level for a diameter range from 0.2mm to 1.05mm. The MMH 121 is combined with an inline annealer type RM 201 and can work with a

speed of up to 40m/s. The MMH 121 is best suited for the production of electronic wires as well as for building wires. As the MMH machines are based on a modular principle, they can be built adapted to the specific tasks of customers. The wires drawn on these machines exceed the most demanding specifications and processing requirements as far as physical properties and can be processed to multi-wire bundles with outstanding charac- teristics. Up to now, more than 1,500 MMH lines are in operation worldwide. The D 631.5 single-bow double twist bunching machine and the ARP 630 pay-off are both built by NMC under Niehoff licence to match the high requirements of the Chinese market. The machine is designed for strands with a cross section of 0.09 to 6mm² and a steplessly variable lay length of 6 to 100mm. The maximum number of twists is 6,500 twists/min while the maximum linear speed is 300m/ min. The machine is equipped with AC drive technology, contactless transmission of machine data within the machine, field proven energy-saving ECO-Bow and an NMI touch-screen display with colour user interface and simplified navigation structure. Another special feature is the perfect tension control for the winding of the strand from the beginning to the end of bobbin using a load cell and dancer. Maschinenfabrik Niehoff has been active in China since the early 1970s. Assisted by experienced Chinese engineers, Niehoff has ❍ The D 631.5 single-bow double twist bunching machine

successfully rod breakdown and multi-wire as well as super fine wire drawing technology to many wire and cable factories in China. One of the pillars on which this success in the marketplace is built was the Niehoff Service Centre in Shanghai, founded in 1994, which became the Niehoff Shanghai Representative Office in 2000 and eventually changed to the Shanghai sales branch of Niehoff Machinery Changzhou (NMC) Co Ltd. NMC is situated in the Wujin Economic Development Zone in Changzhou, approximately 200km west of Shanghai. It operates a factory with modern production equipment and manufactures different kinds of machines under Niehoff licence for the Chinese market. NMC is also responsible for the complete after-sales service and the reliable and fast supply of Niehoff’s Chinese customers with Niehoff Original+ parts for all Niehoff machinery. Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.niehoff.de introduced Pourtier has made impressive achievements in the field of submarine and umbilical cables with the supply of large armouring lines and laying-up lines, as well as its heavy-duty stranders, cablers and armouring lines for ferrous and non-ferrous cables. Its multi-wire concentric stranding line is also widely used for low and medium power cable production. All these machines are made in Europe with the highest standards in design and manufacturing for the production of high voltage and extra-high voltage power cable, from overhead to insulated, AC type (using high quality Milliken conductor) for land cable or DC Pourtier Stand W1F25
