m/min.Other characteristics are the field proven energy-saving single bow (ECO-Bow) design, the non-contact data transmission within the machine and the NMI touch-screen display with color user interface and simplified navigation structure. The machine is combined with an ARH 800 type tangential pay-off with separate drive. The 16-carrier lever arm rotary braiding machine BMV 16 can process bare or plated copper wire, aluminum wire and stainless steel wire with single- wire diameters ranging from 0.05 to 0.3 mm (40 … 28 1/2 AWG) as well as artificial yarn and fibers. This machine features an infinitely adjustable electronic control of line speed and braiding pitch as well as an automatic central lubrication system. The machines can be combined with different kinds of taping devices. Upon customer request an automatic empty bobbin detection system can be integrated which on the one hand stops the machine before a braiding bobbin is empty, and on the other hand keeps the residual wire on the braiding spool to a minimum. By means of integrated and optionally available quality assurance systems, BMV braiders can operate unattended for extended periods and without frequent operator intervention. 33 WN MAY 2017
