Wire India 2018
Maschinenfabrik NIEHOFF - Booth H18
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and Niehoff of India (NoI), its Indian subsidiary, will display
at the wire India 2018 trade fair, hall 1, booth H 18, a 32 wire multiwire drawing machine
type MMH 121 and a stranding machine for data cables type DSI 631 with backtwist pay-
off type ARD 630. Furthermore there will be shown a range of wear and tear parts, spare
parts and services of the “Niehoff Original+” label.

The exhibits
The multiwire drawing machine MMH 121 built
by NoI under Niehoff licence is designed to draw
simultaneously 32 wires in one level from 2.05 mm
inlet diameter to a minimum final diameter of 0.20
… 1.05 mm (copper hard). The maximum production
speed is 35 m/s.
The machine is best suited for the production of
electronic wires as well as for building wires. MMH
machines are based on a modular principle and can
therefore be built ideally adapted to the specific
tasks of customers. Around 1,500 MMH lines are
in operation world-wide. The wires drawn on them
exceed the most demanding specifications and
processing requirements as far as physical properties
and can be processed to multiwire bundles with
outstanding characteristics.

The machine is able to manufacture reliably LAN
cables of all categories – even of future generations
– as well as pairs with tape shielding, bus cables and
other telecommunications cables. The DSI stranding
machines system includes a lot of additional auxiliary
equipment, so that customer-specific production
lines can be created and rapidly rebuilt depending
on the order situation. Compared with other
machines and process technologies, the combination
possibilities of the DSI system generate significant
financial advantages for the manufacture of certain
products or a certain production performance.
Niehoff in India
Maschinenfabrik Niehoff started its business
activities in India more than 30 years ago in
1986 with the Indian firm ASACO. In 1997, both
companies founded the common joint venture
company Niehoff of India (NoI). When Niehoff
