Micraflo™ – color concentrates Also featured on the stand will be the Mex- ichem range of PVC resins and plasticisers. Primex ® – PVC resin • K value 65 for profile extrusion • K value 70 for cable compounds Mexiflex ® Plasticisers

processes the lay length data and reports the measurement results. Beta LaserMike will also debut its new three- axis LN Detector. This advanced, compact system provides more precise detection of short-term faults (lump and neckdowns) in the wire diameter than two-axis systems. The three-axis scanning system ensures 360 o coverage around the product’s circumference to instantly detect sudden changes in the surface. The LN Detector can measure wires up to 15mm (0.59 in) in diameter at line speeds up to 3,000m/min (9,842ft/min). It can accept a range of inputs including length encoder, tachometer, line start/stop, and clear faults and can be connected to a host PC or PLC using Ethernet IP, Profibus, and Profinet. Data capture capabilities enable the reporting of critical process information such as height, length, number, and location of the flaw. In addition, Beta LaserMike will exhibit the following non-contact measurement and controls solutions: • CenterScan 2010 eccentricitymeasurement system • AccuScan diameter gauge • LaserSpeed length and speed gauge • High-Frequency Spark Tester and Pre-heater systems • BenchMike table-top cut sample measurement system • DataPro process controller and data management system • SRL Pro on-line structural return loss (SRL) prediction and analysis system

Automation with automation for automation with dependable and predictable equipment. 2D and 3D CNC large and small bending capabilities withwirecapacities up to 16mm (5/8″) with two years limited, warranty. AIM Inc – USA Fax : +1 630 458 0730 AlphaGary will present the latest grades to be added to the extensive range of compounds for the global wire and cable manufacturing industry. These include: Megolon™ – halogen free, low smoke, fire retardant (HFFR, LSOH) compounds • Low die drool compounds for high speed extrusion • Tear resistant compounds for demanding environments such as found in the Middle East • Optical fiber tight buffer compounds • Oil resistant compounds having high flexibility •Compounds that havehighchar formation Email : sales@aimmachines.com Website : www.aimmachines.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - AlphaGary Stand: 11G22

BetaLaserMike,aglobalproviderofprecision measurement and control solutions, will debut its new LayScan measurement system and three-axis LN Detector (Lump and Neckdown) to the international wire and cable community at wire 2012. Beta LaserMike’s new LayScan measure- ment system (patent pending) accurately and consistently measures the lay length of twisted pairs used in telecommunication cables. The system uses optical, non- contact measurement technology to perform on-line, high-speed lay length measurements with accuracies to 0.0254mm (0.001″).

The LayScan measurement system
