to 160mm and a maximum number of
5,000 twists per minute. The maximum
production speed is 300m/min. The
machine accommodates spools with a
flange diameter of 800mm and a width
of 600mm.
The D 801 is part of a series of six
differently sized models, available in
left and right-hand versions, which
cover cross sections from 0.013mm² to
50mm² and feature all the same technical
advantages.
Compared to conventional bunching
machines, energy consumption and noise
emission of the D series machines are
significantly reduced due to their one-bow
design. State-of-the-art three-phase drive
technology and contactless machine
data transfer reduce maintenance to a
minimum.
All production parameters are set on the
machine’s touch screen display where
they are clearly visible, together with
service and maintenance messages.
The machine, including a final capstan,
controls the pre-set winding tension using
a load cell in the spool carrier throughout
spool filling. The driven haul-off capstan
enables a continuous adjustment of the
lay length and a maximum of production
flexibility.
The NBAT (Niehoff bunching automatic
traverse), which is offered as an option on
the D 801 buncher, automatically detects
spool flanges and controls the traverse
width of empty and full spools by means
of optoelectronic sensors – automatically
and perfectly, without machine operator
intervention.
As the spools are filled the strands can
be paid off, tangle-free, and without wire
damage even at very high speeds.

PWM
Booth J05
British company PWM, which has been at
the forefront of cold welding technology
for 25 years, will showcase its range of
cost effective manual cold welders at wire
Southeast Asia.
The range includes three hand-held,
portable models, ideal for repairing
wire breaks quickly and efficiently in
confined spaces.
The compact M10, M25 and M30
machines, designed to be exceptionally
comfortable to hold and extremely easy
to operate using finger or hand pressure,
have capacities ranging from 0.1mm
to 1.8mm diameter for copper and
aluminium.
PWM’s BM10 and BM30 models are
strong, low maintenance machines that
use industry standard dies to provide a
reliable weld on non-ferrous wire from
0.1mm to 1.8mm diameter.
These welders can be used either
mounted on a workbench or a mobile
trolley. Light hand pressure on the
operating lever completes the weld in
seconds.
The largest machine to be presented at
the show is the versatile manual M101.
This heavy-duty cold welder, which has
a capacity of 1mm to 3.6mm copper and
1mm to 5mm EC aluminium, is one of
PWM’s best-selling models.
Durable, simple to operate and easy to
maintain – due to the low number of
component parts – the M101 can be
either bench or trolley-mounted for
portability and convenience.

PWT Ltd
Booth E28
PWT Limited is a research and
development business focusing on
process technology for the galvanised
wire industries. Its electro magnetic
wiping (EMW) development is said to
provide increased production efficiency,
product quality and profits.
After nine years of development work in a
wire production plant, the Quantum-EMW
system was launched onto the
international market in 2003. PWT works
with customers based in China, Japan,
Korea and North America, and to date, 29
EMW systems have been sold worldwide,
with a further four due to be installed
soon in Northern China.
Quantum-EMW works with varying wire
diameters at various speeds to produce a
smooth, concentric surface quality with a
coat weight variance of about 15g/m2.
EMW systems work with both zinc
and zinc aluminium, are easily
operated, simply maintained, safe and
environmentally friendly. EMW can be
designed onto new galvanising lines or
retrofitted onto existing lines.
For new galvanising lines, PWT works
closely with the supplier from the early
stages of a project so that the EMW
system is designed specifically to suit the
line arrangements and to also incorporate
any particular customer requirement.
Ensuring PWT engineers are present from
the start guarantees a highly professional
and cost-effective outcome.
During the installation and commissioning
process, PWT engineers fully train local
operators, provide technical manuals and
offer a comprehensive after-sales support
package.
PWT has an international network of
skilled representatives to provide a fast
service. Based in New Zealand, PWT has
a regional office in China and will be
opening an office Europe during 2009.
