SAMP Sistemi, Italy, a leading manufacturer of wire drawing and bunching machines who has expanded its manufacturing range by developing state-of-the-art extrusion lines, has recently reported a successful one-day symposium which took place in Istanbul, Turkey. Organised at the end of December 2002 by SAMP Sistemi�s Turkish agent Fermetal, the symposium was attended by 60 Turkish cable manufacturers. During the symposium, the following topics were highlighted:
- Physical foaming of PE and FEP for LAN and coaxial cables;
- Production of automotive cables with completely automatic colour change (no scrap solution);
- XLPE �dry and liquid silane� for low voltage cable;
- Halogen-free materials;
- New SAMP products for the cited categories.
In addition, SAMP introduced two of its most innovative solutions:
- The new SAMP skin-pass concept: a skin-pass module that can also be fitted on existing tandem insulation lines for LAN cables;
- A multiwire drawing machine suitable for nickel-plated copper wires. This machine has recently been designed and has been operating successfully for over one year.
