Niehoff at wire Russia 2019: Future-Pointing
Bunching and Braiding Equipment
At the wire Russia 2019 trade fair
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff of Russia,
its Moscow-based marketing and service office,
will be exhibiting on booth FO D 58:
•
•
a D 802 type double twist machine
a BMV 16 type lever arm rotary braiding machine.
Also the offerings of the After Sales Service and the
Niehoff Original+ components will be showcased,
and the visitors can learn how they can use Niehoff’s
digitization concept.
The exhibits
The D 802 type double twist machine is designed for
bunching plated and bare wires or twisting insulated
wires. The machine can be used to produce (copper)
strands with 0.25 to 16.0 mm² cross section and
an infinitely variable lay length of 15 to 160 mm.
Insulated wire can be stranded up to an OD of 7.5
mm. The maximum line speed is up to 5,000 tpm or
300 m/min.
Like all machines of the D series, also the D 802
features the service proven energy-saving single
bow (ECO-Bow) design and is equipped with an
energy-class IE3 energy saving rotor drive and an
adjustable fan drive in the sound proof cabin. Other
features are the wireless telemetry for all signals
including encoders – the absence of brushes increase
the production reliability and simplify maintenance
– and an automatic traverse which is equipped with
a flange detection system allowing spools to be
perfectly spooled. As a consequence, even at high
speeds, spooled cables can be payed-off tangle-free
and with no damage.
Sensors monitor the bearings temperature, cradle
vibration and the quality of the production process.
The machine’s sensor technology makes it also
possible to use machine, production and process data
according to Industry 4.0.
16 WIRE NEWS EVENTS
June 2019
The 16-carrier lever arm rotary braiding machine
BMV 16 is designed for processing of bare or plated
round or flat wire made from copper, aluminium or
stainless steel with single-wire diameters ranging
from 0.02 to 0.56 mm (in the case of Cu soft) as
well as artificial yarn and fibers. Like all other
models in the BMV series, this machine features an
infinitely adjustable electronic control of line speed
and braiding pitch as well as an automatic central
lubrication system.
By means of other monitoring systems, some
optionally available, BMV braiders can operate
unattended for extended periods and without
frequent operator intervention. Also for the braiding
machines new functionalities have been developed
according to the requirements of Industry 4.0.
