Kajote Oy, purchasers of the first installed FC5 coiler from Windak, has confirmed that the machine is proving its worth. Peter Jokinen, development director of Kajote OY, states, ”We are really happy with this versatile machine. It suits us well in our small factory with a wide assortment of different cables and cable types. Now we can also promote retailed coil sizes exactly to customer needs. Last week we fulfilled an order of mixed coil sizes of 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m and 200m, without any problems.” Windak Inc – USA Feedback for the FC5 A new T-Welder, or cross wire welder, system module is successfully producing cross welded frames used for filters, refrigerators, shelving, store fixtures, displays, oven and grill frames. The T-Welder from AIM Inc complements the standard AFM 2Dx machines with a butt-welder and a servo transfer. The AFM 2Dx machine automatically produces wire frames, which get butt-welded and then transferred into the frame hopper of the T-Welder system. A separate wire feeding module straightens, feeds and cuts individual wire pieces for automatic cross welding into the frames, positioned automatically by a frame carriage. All dimensions are programmable. A multi-axis multi-tasking servo controller controls production and allows the system to produce up to 700 T-welded frames per hour. Three phase DC mid-frequency welding controls provide efficient electric load and welding accuracy. The T-Welding System is available to stand alone or as an addition to a welded frame production machine for a total self-controlling, automated, cross-wire welded frames production cell. Two models are available, covering up to 1m x 1.9m (39 " x 48 " ) frames using wire of up to 10mm diameter.
