▲ ▲ New RT600 straightening and cutting line for electrodes

Major attraction for Eurolls The new RT600 Eurolls straightening and cutting line for electrodes, capable of producing welding electrode sticks at 10m/sec, was one of the major attractions at Eurolls’ stand at wire 2014 in Düsseldorf. The full line, which includes a seven step drawing line, allows productivity to be increased by placing Eurolls CL25C33 cold rolling micro cassettes instead of dies, and is designed to process low carbon or stainless steel wire rod diameter 5.5mm, draw it down to the final product diameters (2, 2.5, 3.25, 4, 4.8 and 5mm), then clean the wire, straighten it and cut it in the two main product lengths (350 and 450mm). The main characteristic and advantage of this equipment is the capacity to achieve high production speeds, maintaining the surface finish and accuracy in stick diameter and length, requested for this type of material – basic requirements to guarantee smooth operation in the successive steps of the process. Eurolls SpA – Italy Website : www.eurolls.com New tester from DSE DSE Test Solutions, a global provider of instruments for curing measurement in the production of enamelled/magnet wire, has added a new tangent delta tester to its expansive product portfolio. In the development of the new TD3 tangent delta tester, DSE has focused on reducing the number of mechanical parts with the aim of optimising costs as well as reducing the need for spare parts. Adapting the dynamic direct heating technology from the top model TD5, it has become possible to achieve a level of repeatability of the measurements, not currently available anywhere in the market at this price level for tangent delta testers. “Intensive use of the latest 3D technology in prototyping has not only reduced the end price, but has also proven to be a great tool for testing and development of new ideas and, last but not least, 3D technology has allowed us to integrate mechanical parts more extensively than ever before,” said product manager Poul Knudsen. Visually, the compact instrument is an example of Danish quality and sharp industrial design. The instrument measures wire samples up to 350ºC and handles both round and flat wire.
