Enkotec A/S
Booth D28
Enkotec A/S will be releasing a new nail
machine, the MI01. This user-friendly
and ergonomically designed machine
produces round nails of 2.3mm – 3.8mm
diameter and 50mm-90mm lengths and
is intended for small and midsize capacity
needs.TheMI01isbasedontheestablished
Enkotec rotary forming principle, allowing
the production of high-quality nails at
high speed.
For the M101, Enkotec has chosen a
simple and sturdy transmission system,
mainly based on belt drives, with a more
mechanical adjustment set-up than its
NX top models. The tooling ring includes
a reduced number of dies, which is a
factor in allowing tooling changeovers
in the MI01 machine to be made easily
and quickly.
As with other Enkotec nail machines, the
M101 has an efficient active nail ejection
system and low noise level, which is
a result of the rotary head-forming
principle. Moreover, the straightening
unit is placed in a closed box, from which
it is possible to establish a connection to
exhaust ventilation. The MI01 features a
newly designedwire payoffwithmachine-
integrated controls, allowing a maximum
coil weight of 2,000 kg.

Euroalpha srl
Italian Pavilion
Euroalpha manufactures wire drawing
equipment for non-ferrous materials,
specialising in wire drawing equipment
for copper, aluminium and aluminium
alloys. In addition to machine production,
sales and service, Euroalpha offers the
customer preliminary technical advice,
planning and analysis of the production
process.
The Euroalpha R1 rod breakdown
machine with the VAH vertical annealer
is a new design with tandem capstans
arranged in two rows. This ergonomic
machine is designed and constructed
for ease of use and maintenance. Each
tungsten carbide coated steel capstan is
powered by an independent AC motor.
R1 rod breakdown machine features a
new lubricant system; a jet of coolant
is directed towards the die inlet with
an additional jet of coolant directed to
the drawing ring to maintain high wire
surface quality.
Additional guiding dies are fitted at the
inlet of each die-holder to guarantee
straight input of the wire into the
drawing dies. The die holder includes
a ‘fast cleaning’ system. The R1 line is a
limited-slip machine.

FIB
Booth D36
FIB is currently working on several
innovations, including an auto-control of
the convection level for open fire furnaces;
motorisation of the Constan mixers;
new high-duty flame monitoring; new
features for fluidised beds (quenching,
diffusion and tempering); ‘flash’ fluxing
and a new generation of zinc monitoring.

FMS Force Measuring
Systems
Booth J09
Cable makers can monitor and control
tension in individual wires on a stranding
machine using Radio Transmission
Tension Monitoring (RTM) from FMS. It
can be easily applied on most planetary
or tube stranders, bunchers, twisters, or
other rotating machinery. The system
transmits data by radio signal, avoiding
many drawbacks of mechanisms such
as slip rings and telemetric systems. By
eliminating overstressing and excessive
slack in wires, it reduces wire breaks and
increases throughput. RTM improves
the quality of the cables produced and
it can open new markets for factories
that presently operate without tension
control.
The RTM equipment can be configured in
various ways to handle nearly any tension
control task. The monitoring system
comprises tension sensors, amplifiers,
bus system with radio transceiver and
software. The components are specially
designed for rotating applications and are
all produced by FMS.
A wide range of proven tension sensors is
available. If control is required, controllers
are used instead of amplifiers. The system
can be powered by AC or DC.
