Dear Readers,
Fortunately, there's not only a wind breezing across the
North Sea to power the new "alpha ven-tus" offshore wind farm, the economy is also feeling the first winds of recovery beneath its wings. Alongside the recov-ery already evident in many sectors, the machine construction market is now also showing signs of improvement. When it comes to exports, the German economy is also benefiting from the Euro being un-der slight pressure at the present time. We at HELUKABEL® are taking an opti-mistic view of the future in any event. This year, we will be making further technical advancements to our existing products and introducing new innovative products onto the market. We will be focusing on both the product side and on providing an even higher quality of service and even shorter lead times.
We hope you enjoy reading the latest edi-tion of HELUnews.
YoursHelmut LukschManaging Director
We're bringing the North Sea wind to your power socketsCables & Wires | Wires for Wind Power
Germany's first offshore wind farm completely constructed – HELUKABEL® gets on boardSince the end of last year, the final of twelve wind turbines in Germany's first wind farm has been flying high in the middle of the North Sea, 45 kilometres north of Borkum island. Un-der the pioneering project name of "alpha ventus", fundamental experience is being gath-ered for the future use of offshore wind energy in Germany. The amount of energy to be produced annually at full capacity is equivalent to the consumption of 50,000 households. 6 of the 12 wind turbine generators were supplied by REpower Systems AG, Hamburg, which relied on HELUKABEL® quality for the cabling. Our WK 103 and WK 135 from the HELUWIND® WK series were employed for all the (multi-core) gondola cabling, in a loop and as components such as the slip ring. The wires in the HELUWIND® WK were designed specifically for use in wind turbine generators and are produced in the HELUKABEL® plant in Windsbach, Nuremberg. The perfectly coordinated wiring range is able to equip all areas - from the gondola, to cable loop and tower through to the tower control and mid-voltage level - regardless of the system's ultimate location.
HELUWIND® WK 137 Torsion FT4In developing the HELUWIND® WK 137 Torsion FT4, HELUKABEL® has a wire in its range that satisfies all the requirements of wind turbine manufacturers in one product: It sailed through the tough CSA FT4 flame test, thereby offering the operators of wind turbines a high degree of safety. In doing so, HELUKABEL® continues to consolidate its advantage for innovative products for the wind turbine industry. The HELUWIND® WK 137 Torsion FT4 can be employed at a temperature range of -40 to +90° C with a torsion of +/-150° per metre. The wire is approved by UL/CSA for 1000 V and is suitable in accordance with VDE for a nominal voltage of 1000 V. It is halogen-free, extremely abrasion-resistant, UV or ozone and seawater-resistant and tested for resistance against the aggressive oils used in wind turbines.

HELUKABEL® presents the new TRAY cable with US approvals: TRAYCONTROL 600HELUKABEL® successfully launched the new cable on the American market in autumn last year, where its outstand-ing characteristics for applications in the automotive sector, in plant construction and in the foodstuffs industry have already proved their worth.As a single cable, TRAYCONTROL 600 satisfies the three most important American approvals for open installation: TC-ER, PLTC-ER & ITC-ER and therefore does not – as is normally the case in the USA – to be installed in closed cable ducts or pipes. The open installation (exposed run = ER), from the cable rack to machines and industrial systems, creates an enormous time advantage and hence an equally important cost benefit. Quick installation and easy handling in constricted spaces is also facilitated by the much higher flex-ibility of the HELUKABEL®

At home on all Seven SeasCables & Wires | Special Cables
Picture (photo montage): The Maatje Theodora equipped with a drag kite with HELUKABEL® pull cable including a control cable
HELUKABEL® descends into the underworld, but only to develop a special cable for controlling channel robots (manipulators). The HK-SO-Roboflex cable was designed, constructed and produced specifically for use in humid, constricted and dark channels. It makes sewer renovation,
which is usually inaccessi-ble to humans and better suited to robots, a clean business – at least when it comes to localising potential damage.To be able to withstand the adverse external conditions,
this cable features a microbe and hydrolysis resistant sheath. As the robot can only travel forwards in the channel under its own power (six motors), it has to be pulled back-wards out of the channel. That's why the HK-SO-Roboflex uses an aramide fibre structure as a strain relief. The cable transmits live images to a screen in the control centre via a coaxial cable. To prevent the image quality being impaired by the environment, compressed air is supplied through two PA hoses to remove small obstacles and dirt from the camera.

Drag kite for fishing trawler
The "Maartje Theodora", at 141 m Germany's largest fish-ing vessel, is currently being fitted with the innova-tive SkySails system installed. The drag kit drive, for which HELUKABEL® developed a special pull cable with con-trol cable to hold and steer the 160 m² kite, has prov-en its capability in the 18-month pilot test on board the "MS Beluga". The sail produces a tensile load of 8 tonnes, equivalent to the thrust generated by an Airbus A318 engine. "We are expecting use of the SkySails system to achieve significant fuel cost saving, especially over the long voyages to the African coast and to the South Pacific and the wider perspective of fishing applications. Likewise, we are able to make drastically cuts in CO2 emissions over the year, thereby making a significant contribution to climate protec-tion", says Diederik Parlevliet (CEO) of the fishing company Parlevliet & Van der Plas B.V.
