WCN Autumn 2010

Wire screening technology In addition to stranding fibre optic elements and insulated conductors, Rosendahl offers an SZ technology solution for the stranding of single wires for screening applications. For the cable manufacturer this offers the opportunity of a wire screen over cables of nearly every product size.

New products for 2010 Huestis Machine Corporation has provided precision made machinery and solutions to manufacturing problems for over eighty years. Made up of two divisions, one serves the medical industry while the industrial division serves the military, wire and cable and other industrial sectors. Ever changing with the times and to meet the expectations of design engineers, Huestis Industrial has launched new product lines for 2010 to maintain the customer’s competitive edge. New products for 2010 include: Ceramic “Air Miser” air wiper – a full length, replaceable ceramic insert that provides wear resistance and protection from misalignment, and human error. “Down drafter” air wiper – with drying jets front and rear and a bottom drain in the centre. The drain is threaded for a fitting and pipe or hose to capture and return the process liquid to the system. Optional metering valves are available for balancing the airflow between the front and rear jets for the most beneficial mix for each product application. The down drafter is available from 1/16" to 1". This unit also employs the Air Miser jet system that reduces the air usage and consumption. Shaftless payoff and take-up – to address the previously overlooked circuit size market. Huestis cold welders – to handle all needs from superfine to rod breakdown in hand-powered manual units.

SZ-process for screening applications ▲ ▲

The machinery is equipped with a number of stranding discs, driven by a central torsion shaft. The design concept facilitates a wide range of wires without any changes on the machine. The machine design is laid out to reach a high number of twists in one direction with a minimum overall length. The complete unit is prepared to run high production speeds controlled by a high dynamic AC motor. This SZ stranding process is beneficial for continuous cable production. Combined with the filling and jacketing process a one-step-production is secured. The equipment can be integrated into existing sheathing lines.
