38 Wire & Cable ASIA – January/February 2017
Technologynews
GOODWIN Machinery, in collaboration with Cable & Wire
Technical Services, has designed and manufactured a rod
breakdown machine that is based on the industry standard
Winget Syncro F-13.
This innovatively designed machine was manufactured on
time and within budget and is now running “very
successfully” in a factory in Europe.
This CWF-13 non-ferrous rod breakdown machine can
draw down from 8mm copper or 9.5mm diameter
aluminium and has many features like the small floor space
required (4.6 x 1.55m), a top production rate of 30.6 MPS,
and many more.
The design, manufacture and assembly was all done in the
UK, the parts being manufactured using a mix of Goodwin
Machinery and Cable & Wire preferred suppliers, with the
final assembly and test being performed at Goodwin’s
Bolton factory.
The test run was carried out in the presence of the
customer, who noted how quiet the machine was running.
This can be attributed to the fact that all the gears are case
hardened and ground, and the design of the machine
facilitates the use of helical gears with no back-shaft/
hypoid or spiral bevels.
The machine comes with an optional lubrication system for
either copper or aluminium plus an optional pay-in stand.
There is also a low-noise screw-type oil pump for the main
gearbox which fits neatly to the back of the machine,
making it ideal for maintenance access, filter cleaning, etc.
The machine is also complete with a 300HP/constant
torque motor and drive.
This machine is a suitable replacement for existing rod
breakdown machines, with the team of engineers/
electricians being able to synchronise with any existing
down line equipment. However, in the event of the customer
wanting a complete line, Goodwin can also supply new
annealers and spoolers with all interface wiring and controls.

Goodwin’s new take on an industry standard
❍ The new machinery from Goodwin
Delisi specialises in manufacturing automatic straightening
and cutting machines for smooth and ribbed wires from 1 to
20mm in diameter.
Its machines are characterised by rapid change of diameter,
rapid change of lengths and fast set up: about one minute
to change the diameter of the work. The spinner is supplied
with a straightening unit of pre-regulated jaws for each
diameter of wire to be worked.
This allows installation of a suitable straightening unit,
according to the wire to be handled, and the spinner will be
ready to work without wasting material and time. Delisi
machines do not damage the wire.
The wire in the spinner is straightened through a series of
bends that do not damage it while it is moving.
With the flying cut, the shears run during the cut. After
finishing the cut, they quickly return back to the starting
point, without the wire stopping.
For a high number of short cuts, for example when working
electrodes, Delisi can supply the machine with a continuous
cutting disc, so the cutting speed is higher and the
maximum production of 400 pieces per minute can easily be
reached.
The machines can be supplied with an electronic
programmer, different types of pay-offs and rod collection
beds, and other special devices.
