Setic & Pourtier Cable production partners Setic, Pourtier and C2S will participate at wire Southeast Asia 2022. “After the move of 2021’s show, we want to remain committed and meet our Asian customers during next wire and Tube Southeast Asia show,” said a company spokesperson. “It will be a great and successful show for all our cable industry partners.” Setic produces machinery for special, data communication and LAN cables. Its range includes high-speed double twist bunchers/stranders for the automotive industry and for power cables. Since the The enhanced graphite crucible electric resistance furnace design of the RS 3000SX, combined with modified tooling and production techniques, improves Lämneå Bruk AB After a successful wire Düsseldorf show, the Lämneå Bruk team is looking forward to welcoming visitors at this year’s wire Southeast Asia. The company’s machine portfolio ranges from drawing machines to (de-)spooling, rod preparation, coilers, take-ups, payoffs and pointing machines for different wire types, such as low- to high-carbon, stainless steel, welding and spring wire. In Düsseldorf, the Swedish wire machin- ery expert presented one of its newest innovations, the No Twist Coiler 1200. This machine’s coiling technology increases drawing and uncoiling speeds, and it has shown the potential to double the output Rautomead Ltd Rautomead will be presenting at wire Southeast Asia its new model RS 3000SX continuous casting machine for the manufacture of extra-lowoxygen content CuOF rod. The company’s standard graphite furnace technology will produce low oxygen CuOFE (<5ppm) copper rod, which is suitable for most oxygen-free wire applications. However, technical requirements from the automotive industry are driving demands for even lower oxygen content copper rod, eg for use in high-efficiency bar-wound electric motors.

last wire show, the company has devel oped, designed, delivered and commis sioned several pairing and assembling lines dedicated to LAN cables. Pourtier focuses on heavy-duty rotating machines (rigid and planetary stranders, single twist cablers and drum twisters) to produce all types of power cable: overhead, high voltage and extra-high voltage, and submarine cables. C2S takes care of all wire and cable production lines, whatever the brand of rotating equipment. Bow Technology sells customised bows for all sizes and all brands of double twist the oxygen reduction capability of the graphite technology system to produce extra-low oxygen content copper rod. Rautomead will also be promoting its RSL sealed-lid continuous casting technol ogy, designed for processing progres sive alloy rods such as copper chrome zirconium, together with its conventional open-furnace models for producing high-purity oxygen-free copper wire rods and conductor alloy rods such as CuMg, CuAg and CuSn. This continuous cast rod material benefits manufacturers of bar-wound motors, enamelled wires, superfine wires, LAN cables, wiring harnesses, railway wires and transformer strips. Equipment is available for the production of 1,000 to 12,000mt per year for products of galvanising lines without changing existing equipment. With fast changing and set-up times, the versatile NTC 1200 is suitable for all applications for wire diameters from 0.3 to 14mm. Lämneå Bruk has been in the wire industry for more than 100 years, and produces all parts of its machines on-site in Sweden, from the first drawing to the electrical design, manufacturing, control cabinet assembly and programming with a complete CNC set-up. Being in full control of the entire production chain ensures quality and allows the flexibility to customise each machine according to customer requirements.
