Howar Equipment will showcase wire and cable manufacturing accessories manufactured by its European represented manufacturers. Displayed products will include: steel reels, spools, carriers and reel handling equipment; mechanical wire descalers, rotating dies and scrap wire coilers; plasma wire surface and heat treatment; precision and high speed wire and cable taping lines; pay-o s, take-ups and tension control equipment; extrusion crossheads, automatic colour change systems, tooling, and automatic o -line cable cross-section measurement. Special focus will be on the high precision extrusion cross-heads with particular attention on the new series of THHN capable crossheads. These crossheads are able to insulate two layers in one crosshead while processing two di erent temperature processed compounds such as nylon and PVC. Tooling changes still feature Unitek’s four step system which does not require the entire head to be disassembled. The complete line of accessories will be available in various media sources with help from experienced sta dedicated to the North American market. Howar Equipment Inc – USA Website : www.howarequipment.com Ideal Welding Systems will be on hand to tell all customers about the company and its machinery and to help with production requirements. Ideal Welding Systems represents the Ideal and Cli ord product line for automated machinery for resistance welding of wire, cable and sheet metal. The equipment line up includes butt welders, automated mesh welding machines and CNC robotic welding machines. A team of experts will be on hand to help in the selection of the right equipment for your needs, along with sales material and videos. IdealWelding Systems Booth 813

KEIR Manufacturing is an American-based manufacturer of high-purity 99.8% aluminia ceramic guides, the Frontiersman™ line of air wipes, and composite yer bows serving the global wire and cable industry. The company is dedicated to making products that enable manufacturing processes to run more e ciently and productively through the application of leading edge materials. Solutions are focused on continuous process improvement, energy savings and longer operating life.

The composite Backbone bow from KEIR

KEIR’s patented SureShot and SplitShot air wipes provide a far more e ective drying method that does not depend on high-volume air consumption. The e cient design yields e ective drying using a very low volume of compressed air and lasts much longer than other brands due to the rugged ceramic insert lining the wire path. This equates to over 25 per cent reduction in compressed air usage and an operating life of years versus months. The company’s triaxially braided composite Standard and BackBone™ yer bow con- structions have greater durability than layered/laminated designs allowing them to take more hits and endure higher stress yielding increased operating life and less machine downtime. The more aerodynamic BackBone™ design functions at lower power consumption and higher TPM with improved wire quality and a further reduction in bow breakage. Up to 40 per cent less energy (AMPS) is used along with a decrease in wire scrapped.
