New Generation of Helicord Machines At IWCS, Boockmann GmbH, Unterebersbach, Germany offered information on its new generation of Helicord machines, now using stronger motors and a larger application zone for treatment of larger wire and cable diameters and a motorized looping unit for easier handling. Schematic depiction of the Helicord process. T spikes and particles of wire and strands to avoid pollution of following production steps, to achieve pinhole free thin extruded insulation, to avoid blow-ups after the extruder, to increase average breakdown and partial discharge inception voltage and to reduce bit faults and improve insulation adhesion. The process modifies surface structure mechanically by grinding or polishing to remove residuals of drawing lubricant applies liquids or meltable agents to achieve equal thin surface layers of anti-adhesives, anti-oxidants, primers, “anti-stick” powder, avoid or improve adherence, protect against oxidation, improve sliding or stripping and improve windability of magnet wires and replace solvent use for lubricant application (Helilub). It allows cleaning of the surface of solid or stranded conductors and plastic or metal jackets with solvents or other liquids to remove various adherent deposits and to remove soluble drawing lubricants. www.boockmann.com Helicord machine NB55 with motorized looping unit. Helicord technology uses a tension and speed controlled string or cord wrapped around a wire, strand or cable. It gives a multiple 360° contact under controlled friction with constantly renewed cord and guarantees reliable surface preparation. Controlled friction and speed difference of string and wire permit prediction of parameters and calculation of results. Fred Camarena (right) of F.
