Technology news Rotating machines for ferrous and non-ferrous cable

these machines are made with high standards in design and manufacturing for the production of all types of high voltage and extra-high voltage power cable, from overhead cable (including ACCC™, ACSS-TW and ACSR-TW) to insulated AC cable (using Milliken conductors) or DC type (using large, round compacted conductors or trapezoidal wires) up to 127 wires. The C2S customer services depart- ment helps to maintain machine productivity and enhance product quality, whatever the brand of equip- ment. C2S handles spare parts, upgrades, technical auditsandmainten- ance projects, as well as transfer and restart operations of complete lines. Bow Technology makes carbon bows for all sizes and all brands of double twist equipment, from 560 to 2,000mm. With a comprehensive range of designs, including the new-generation multi-use GreenBow2+, the division offers a global service from concept to production.

lines for battery cables or for special and instrumentation cables. Pourtier can supply heavy-duty rotating machines to produce all types of power cable: overhead, submarine and low, medium, high and extra-high voltage. It manufactures heavy-duty stranders, cablers and armouring lines for ferrous and non-ferrous cables, and in the field of submarine and umbilical cables it offers a complete range of stranding, paper lapping, cabling and armouring machines. Its high-efficiency multi-wire concentric stranding line is used for low and medium power cable production. The company states that all of

For 30 years, Setic and Pourtier, and their US branch Gauder Group Inc, have been building knowledge, experience and ability to serve the wire and cable industry in the US market. Setic and Pourtier design and manufacture rotating machines for ferrous and non- ferrous cable, offering a wide range of twisting/stranding solutions to cable makers. Setic provides high-speed double twist pairing/quadding and single twist lines for the automotive industry, and LAN, special and control cables with enhanced performance. It continuously develops new lines and concepts for non-ferrous cables, in order to meet customer needs such as high-speed

Intelligent, connected measurement and control NDC Technologies, a provider of connected measurement and process control solutions, has developed the new LayScan Pro lay length cable measurement system. The original LayScan accurately and consistently measures the lay length of twisted pairs at the cabler. The upcoming LayScan Pro takes lay length measurement a step further, enabling cable makers to precisely monitor and control the lay length of twisted-pair cables as they are being made inside the bow of a twinning machine. cylindrical products during production that bounce and cannot be well-guided, and move off-axis or are out of the measurement range.

The company’s new AccuScan Pro single-axis diameter gauge with application versatility provides 100 per cent inspection of multi-strand wire during production. AccuScan Pro accurately measures the diameter of multi-strand wire and detects missing and broken strands, simultaneously. The system monitors processes in real time for a complete view of product quality. The soon-to-be-released Smart Temp preheating solution offers high-frequency heating and integrated temperature control capabilities to deliver reliable, uniform in-process wire preheating to eliminate insulation voids in primary cables. NDC’s new LaserSpeed Pro M Series gauge accurately and reliably measures the length and speed of long, continuous
