capstans arranged in two rows. This ergonomic machine is designed and constructed for ease of use and maintenance. Each tungsten carbide coated steel capstan is powered by an independent AC motor. R1 rod breakdown machine features a new lubricant system; a jet of coolant is directed towards the die inlet with an additional jet of coolant directed to the drawing ring to maintain high wire surface quality. Additional guiding dies are fitted at the inlet of each die-holder to guarantee straight input of the wire into the drawing dies. The die holder includes a ‘fast cleaning’ system. The R1 line is a limited-slip machine.

Eder Engineering GmbH Austrian Pavilion

For over 60 years, Eder Engineering GmbH has offered precision drawing dies, efficient standard, semi-automatic and fully automatic machines for reconditioning and production of ultra- hard precision tools as well as technical assistance for all Eder die-tool working equipment.

The new MI01 nail machine m m

The tooling ring includes a reduced number of dies, which is a factor in allowing tooling changeovers in the MI01 machine to be made easily and quickly. As with other Enkotec nail machines, the MI01 has an efficient active nail ejection system and low noise level, which is a result of the rotary head-forming principle. Moreover, the straightening unit is placed in a closed box, from which it is possible to establish a connection to exhaust ventilation. The MI01 features a newly designed wire payoff with machine- integrated controls, allowing a maximum coil weight of 2,000 kg. Enkotec A/S – Denmark Website : www.enkotec.com Euroalpha manufactures wire drawing equipment for non-ferrous materials, specialising in wire drawing equipment for copper, aluminium and aluminium alloys. In addition to machine production, sales and service, Euroalpha offers the customer preliminary technical advice, planning and analysis of the production process. The Euroalpha R1 rod break- down machine with the VAH vertical annealer is a new design with tandem Euroalpha srl Italian Pavilion

FIB Booth D36

The Eder exhibition stand m m

Eder’s stand will feature information on precision die-working machines and equipment for diamond, PCD and tungsten carbide dies; ultra-hard precision wire drawing die-tools (with round and profiled bores); die work- shop ancillary equipment and diamond powders, pastes, suspensions and grinding pins. Other products and specialities will be displayed in a multi-media show at the stand and the latest catalogues will be available. Eder Engineering GmbH – Austria Website : www.eder-eng.com Enkotec A/S will be releasing a new nail machine, the MI01. This user- friendly and ergonomically designed machine produces round nails of 2.3mm – 3.8mm diameter and 50mm – 90mm lengths and is intended for small and midsize capacity needs. The MI01 is based on the established Enkotec rotary forming principle, allowing the production of high-quality nails at high speed. For the MI01, Enkotec has chosen a simple and sturdy transmission system, mainly based on belt drives, with a more mechanical adjustment set-up than its NX top models. Enkotec A/S Booth D28

FIB is currently working on several innovations, including an auto-control of the convection level for open fire furnaces; motorisation of the Constan mixers; new high-duty flame moni- toring; new features for fluidised beds (quenching, diffusion and tempering); ‘flash’ fluxing and a new generation of zinc monitoring.

FMS Force Measuring Systems Booth J09

Cable makers can monitor and control tension in individual wires on a strand- ing machine using Radio Transmission Tension Monitoring (RTM) from FMS. It can be easily applied on most planetary or tube stranders, bunchers, twisters, or other rotating machinery. The system transmits data by radio signal, avoiding many drawbacks of mechanisms such as slip rings and telemetric systems. By eliminating overstressing and excessive slack in wires, it reduces wire breaks and increases throughput. RTM improves the quality of the cables produced and it can open new markets for factories that presently operate without tension control.
