New products for 2010
Huestis Machine Corporation has provided precision made
machinery and solutions to manufacturing problems for over
eighty years.
Made up of two divisions, one serves the medical industry
while the industrial division serves the military, wire and
cable and other industrial sectors.
Ever changing with the times and to meet the expectations
of design engineers, Huestis Industrial has launched
new product lines for 2010 to maintain the customer’s
competitive edge.
New products for 2010 include:
Ceramic “Air Miser” air wiper – a full length, replaceable
ceramic insert that provides wear resistance and protection
from misalignment, and human error.
“Down drafter” air wiper – with drying jets front and rear
and a bottom drain in the centre. The drain is threaded for
a fitting and pipe or hose to capture and return the process
liquid to the system.
Optional metering valves are available for balancing
the airflow between the front and rear jets for the most
beneficial mix for each product application. The down
drafter is available from 1/16" to 1". This unit also employs
the Air Miser jet system that reduces the air usage and
consumption.
Shaftless payoff and take-up – to address the previously
overlooked circuit size market.
Huestis cold welders – to handle all needs from superfine to
rod breakdown in hand-powered manual units.

Pave Automation, the UK-based designer and manufacturer
of high performance wire forming machines, found that wire
2010 exceeded expectations.
“The stand was busy throughout the show, and the fair
proved an excellent opportunity to meet clients and make
new contacts,” said Pave’s managing director, Tony Perna.
“We had a lot of visitors from Europe and the Baltic states,
as well as from India, who were looking to acquire reliable,
high output, low cost wire forming units for a variety of
applications.
“The event provided an ideal platform to showcase our
innovative user-friendly touch screen technology which
reduces downtime and operator training costs, and we
obtained some solid leads and requests for trial runs of our
competitively-priced machines.”

Wire screening technology
In addition to stranding fibre optic elements and insulated
conductors, Rosendahl offers an SZ technology solution for
the stranding of single wires for screening applications. For
the cable manufacturer this offers the opportunity of a wire
screen over cables of nearly every product size.
The machinery is equipped with a number of stranding
discs, driven by a central torsion shaft. The design concept
facilitates a wide range of wires without any changes on
the machine. The machine design is laid out to reach a high
number of twists in one direction with a minimum overall
length. The complete unit is prepared to run high production
speeds controlled by a high dynamic AC motor.
This SZ stranding process is beneficial for continuous cable
production. Combined with the filling and jacketing process
a one-step-production is secured. The equipment can be
integrated into existing sheathing lines.
