For continuous quality control, lump and neckdown detectors are as important as diameter gauges and spark testers. The new line of KW 13Trio detectors from Zumbach capture even the smallest lumps and neckdowns in wires, conductors, optical fibres and cables both quickly and accurately. The compact design of the KW 13Trio makes it easily integrated in any extrusion line or rewinding process. The measuring field is dimensioned in such a way that during start-up, even extremely big lumps pass smoothly through. Its open design enables quick and easy threading of the product without stopping production. A powerful microprocessor and full digital signal processing make this lump and neckdown detector an important tool for quality control. The detector is available as a standalone device. Using a local operating and display unit, the KW 13Trio can be fully operated and configured at the device. Its features include a minimum detectable fault height of 0.01mm (0.0004") and minimum fault length of 0.2mm (0.008") and full digital signal processing DSP. The versatile KW 13Trio has multiple interfaces, including serial RS, Profibus DP and Ethernet EN. Via the RS interface port, connection can be made Versatile quality control

to a USYS data acquisition, processing and display system. The Profibus DP and Ethernet EN versions allow the connection to a higher-level host, such as a PLC or data acquisition system. The measuring principle and complex optics solution ensure immunity to stray and intense light whilst providing the highest detection accuracy and identification of lumps and neckdowns in the micrometre range. The KW 13Trio models feature an internal fault database to store the last 100 detected faults, including fault characteristics such as fault number, type, height, position and length of fault. This database can either be accessed via the local operating and display unit or via the optional remote interfaces.

IWMA to organise 2011 technical conference in Düsseldorf

The IWMA is planning a two-day technical conference to be held at the Messe Düsseldorf Congress Centre from 7 th –8 th November 2011. This will be the association’s first conference in Germany since the highly successful “Fire performance of cables,” which was also held in Düsseldorf in 2002. It seems logical that the 2011 event should be held in what is now undoubtedly the spiritual home of wire. Other wire industry associations will cooperate in the organising of the conference. Some of the themes the conference will cover are likely to include advancements in data cables and fire prevention improvements – for non-ferrous sessions – and, for ferrous sessions, environmental aspects for rod and wire production and quality requirements for the spring and wire component producing industries. Other topics will be confirmed in due course. Full details will be posted and regularly updated on the IWMA website www.iwma.org, and on the dedicated technical conference website www.cabwire-duesseldorf.com
