Boosting Braiding Efficiency and Quality: Niehoff’s BMV 16

At wire Southeast Asia 2025 (booth EH102-H29), Maschinenfabrik Niehoff will display its BMV 16 vertical lever-arm rotary braiding machine, designed to enhance cable manufacturing efficiency and quality. Aimed at reducing operational costs, improving throughput, and ensuring perfect shielding, the BMV 16 offers significant advancements over traditional braiding machines.

The machine’s ability to accelerate bobbin speed from 175 rpm to 200 rpm increases braiding performance by 10%, a key improvement for high-demand production. Niehoff’s Wire Tension Control system ensures uniform tension across all braiding wires, resulting in flawless shielding – a critical requirement for modern cable applications across industries.

Niehoff’s Coverage Control System further improves efficiency by maintaining a consistent braiding coverage ratio and reducing material waste. Manufacturers can save up to 10% of their braiding material, offering considerable cost savings without compromising product quality.

For seamless operation, the BMV 16 features advanced monitoring systems that allow for unattended operation over extended periods. The myNIEHOFF digital platform enables real-time machine and process data monitoring, providing valuable insights and supporting quality documentation for customers.

Versatility is another standout feature of the BMV 16, capable of processing various wire types, including copper, aluminium, and synthetic fibres. It accommodates a wide range of braiding patterns and materials, making it ideal for producing cable shields, stranded braids, and textile braids.

With its enhanced efficiency, reduced material use, and precise performance, the BMV 16 is set to redefine modern cable manufacturing. As manufacturers seek to streamline operations and reduce costs, Niehoff’s BMV 16 offers a solution that meets the evolving demands of the industry.
