We supply a comprehensive range of guides for flyer bows, designed for use in stranding machines, bunching machines, and related equipment in the wire and cable industry. Our portfolio covers guides compatible with machinery from leading manufacturers such as Niehoff, Rosendahl, Samp, Pourtier, Lesmo, Cortinovis, and Nokia (Maillefer), among others.

Flyer bow guides are critical wear parts in stranding and bunching operations. They define the wire path along the rotating bow, ensuring stable wire tension, controlled payout, and consistent lay length. Poorly maintained or worn guides lead to surface damage, wire breakage, increased scrap rates, and unplanned downtime — making timely replacement essential for maintaining production quality and output.

We offer guides in a variety of materials to match different wire types and running speeds: ceramic guides for high-speed lines and abrasive wire materials, tungsten carbide guides for demanding applications with fine wire or coated conductors, hardened steel guides for general-purpose stranding, and engineering polymer guides where electrical isolation or weight reduction is required. Both fixed guides and rotating guide rollers are available depending on the bow design.

Our range covers guides for tubular stranders, planetary stranders, rigid stranders, double-twist bunchers, and single-twist bunching machines. Whether you need standard off-the-shelf profiles or custom-machined guide inserts matched to your specific bow geometry and wire groove dimensions, we can support both requirements. Applications include the production of power cables, control cables, automotive wiring, data and telecom cables, and specialty cables for demanding environments.
