➣➢➣ simultaneously draw 20 copper wires in 23 drafts from 1.8mm diameter to a minimum final diameter of 0.16 to 0.5mm. The MMH multi-wire drawing machines are designed for copper and aluminium wires and are based on a modular principle. Therefore, these machines can be built adapted to the specific tasks of customers. The wires drawn on MMH-type machines meet demanding specifications and processing requirements and can be processed to multi-wire bundles with outstanding characteristics. To date, more than 1,500 MMH lines are in operation worldwide. The D 631.5 single-bow double-twist bunching machine combined with an ARH 630 tangential pay-off, built by NMC under Niehoff licence, 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 300 m/min. The machine is equipped with sensor technology corresponding to the requirements of Industry 4.0 capability and enabling measurement of the preset lay length, motor and drive data, speed, and metre lengths. Further features are AC drive technology, contactless transmission of machine data within the machine, field–proven energy-saving ECO-Bow and an NMI touchscreen 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 the bobbin using a load cell and dancer. The SV 400 D type double spooler, part of the NPS cable handling system, is designed to operate in-line with extrusion lines and can spool insulated wires with a cross section of 0.22 to 6mm² and an outer diameter of 1 to 5mm (including insulation). The machine is capable of accommodating all NPS 400 multi-way spools with a traverse width of 100 to 400mm and can be operated at a maximum speed of 1,500m/min. Spool change is carried out automatically.

Industry 4.0 and with the Niehoff Digital Assistant+ 4.0, machine, production and process data can be recorded, ensuring continuous process monitoring and machine condition analysis are possible. The NPS consists of the SV type spoolers and the collapsible NPS plastic multi-way spools. The wire laying technology offers a secure, stable and tangle-free package on the NPS spools both when full or partially empty, enabling high cable pay-off speeds into downstream processes. Empty NPS spools can be dismantled, requiring less return shipping space than traditional spools, and can be easily re-assembled and re-used. Maschinenfabrik Niehoff & Co KG – Germany Website : www.niehoff.de The core business of the French company Numalliance is to design and realise productivity solutions for the forming of wire, tube and flat stock. Numalliance’s machines and automated cells are all made in France. They can be standard or customised and are used in several sectors including automotive, aeronautics, point of purchase, furniture design and agriculture. Numalliance is the result of the merger of three historical entities: Macsoft, Latour and Satime. The strength of the group is based on its expertise in hybridisation of mechanics and servo-driven technology, and its culture of excellence. In order to be the partner of choice, and expert in customisable technological solutions for material forming, Numalliance’s strategy is based on the integration of comple- mentary companies and expertise: robotics, tube bending and tube end-forming. The company has more than 285 employees, five production sites in France, and eight sales and technical service ❍ Numalliance’s machines and automated cells can be standard or customised and are used in several sectors, including automotive, aeronautics, point of purchase, furniture design and agriculture Numalliance Stand: W1C24

Always in touch with its customers’ needs, Pourtier develops equipment for overhead conductors (including ACCC™, ACSS-TW and ACSR-TW with trapezoidal wires) as well as underground HV and EHV cable AC type (high quality Milliken conductor) or submarine cable DC type (extra large conductor, either compacted or made of trap wire). The company is also focused on tailor-designed/made equipment used in submarine, umbilical cables and oil and gas applications. On the stand will be the jumbo reel 1,000mm planetary machine designed for steel wire armouring of long length power submarine cable.
