automated wire production

Efficient RB-2! Magnatech International Inc designs and manufacturers braiding, wire spiral, bobbin winding, rubber and nylon wrapping machines used for the manufacture of industrial and hydraulic hose. The RB-2 rotary braider is the most efficient and productive machine available for braiding textiles and high tensile steel wire. The RB-2’s productivity provides manufacturing costs of less than half of maypole systems. The WSW-IV wire spiral winder combines high speed with the latest in computer control. The WSW-IV’s wire performing system utilises a unique rolling technique allowing quick re-decking and making flexible mandrel production viable.

Automised system fromTajima All around, where surface heating is used, people are looking for solutions concerning low-cost production methods. In many sectors, heating wires are applied manually, partly glued on. At this point the work of Tajima is taken up, as it developed the ‘TSW’ machine, which can apply in a sewing process heating wires on textile or other backing materials, for example glass fibre mats, foils, etc. The process is completely automatised. By means of a special frame-switch- system single or endless heating elements can be produced this way. The heating elements which are sewn on the TSW machine are mainly used in the automobile industry as seat-heating and in the building industry as wall and floor heating. Sensors sewn on mats and light conducting cables are fixed this way. Tajima GmbH – Germany Fax : +49 7577 7568 Email : info@tajima.de Website : www.tajima.de
