For over 60 years, Eder Engineering
GmbH has offered precision drawing
dies, efficient standard, semi-automatic
and fully automatic machines for
reconditioning and production of ultra-
hard precision tools as well as
technical assistance for all Eder
die-tool working equipment.
Eder’s stand will feature information
on precision die-working machines
and equipment for diamond, PCD
and tungsten carbide dies; ultra-hard
precision wire drawing die-tools (with
round and profiled bores); die work-
shop ancillary equipment and diamond
powders, pastes, suspensions and
grinding pins.
Other products and specialities will
be displayed in a multi-media show
at the stand and the latest catalogues
will be available.

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.
The MI01 is based on the established
Enkotec rotary forming principle,
allowing the production of high-quality
nails at high speed.
For the MI01, 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 MI01 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
designed wire payoff with machine-
integrated controls, allowing a
maximum coil weight of 2,000 kg.

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 break-
down 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 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 moni-
toring; new features for fluidised beds
(quenching, diffusion and tempering);
‘flash’ fluxing and a new generation of
zinc monitoring.

Cable makers can monitor and control
tension in individual wires on a strand-
ing 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.
