Wire cutting
The Delisi company manufactures and sells automatic wire
straightening and cutting machines for smooth and ribbed
wire in diameters between 1mm and 20mm.
Model HS6H, with hydraulic and flying shear cut for wires
from 1.5mm to 6mm, is suitable for smooth wires and
for short pieces. It has four pairs of feeding rolls and rapid
change of diameter.
Feed speed is from 30m up to 150m per minute. The system
produces less wire twist, increased production and reduced
noise.

Cable specific
enterprise software
Successful wire and cable manufacturers and distributors use
enterprise software to make their business processes across the
company more efficient. However, the promises of these systems
do not always materialise because standard ERP systems do not
fulfil the unique requirements of wire and cable companies.
By definition, generic ERP systems do not understand the world
of wire and cables. These standard ERP systems are built to
support either discrete industries or process industries but the
wire and cable industry does not fit either one. As a result, the
typical business processes and best practices in the wire and
cable industry are not supported.
Companies who try to force the generic software into the
reality of cable manufacturing and distribution have to accept
many compromises. The result is said to often be an expensive,
heavily customised and rigid ERP system that cannot provide
the flexibility needed to compete in the current competitive
environment.
InnoVites understands the specific requirements of the wire
and cable industry, and specialises in providing solutions for the
industry. Based on extensive experience within the industry the
company has developed ERP software that addresses the needs
of wire and cable manufacturers and distributors.
This industry solution is based on the popular and mature
Microsoft Dynamics AX software and InnoVites complements
this rich solution with features that are specific for the wire and
cable industry, including:
Cable length management throughout the logistics (sales, •
production, purchasing, master planning)
Optimisation algorithm, developed in association with •
scientists, to reduce scrap in production and cutting
operations
Precious material management, to manage the volatile prices •
of materials such as copper, aluminium and XLPE
Easy cable cutting procedure •
Standard integration to the popular cable design software •

Rautomead Ltd has secured a firm order from Elsan Elektrik
Gerecieri SA of Denizli, Turkey to supply an RS 3000/6 copper
rod-casting machine for use in the manufacture of enamelled
wires. Elsan will be building its own operating platform and
cathode feed, but in accordance with Rautomead’s designs.
Proprietary components of Rautomead’s standard coilers will be
supplied as kits for local manufacture.
Rautomead’s expertise in graphite crucible and electrical
resistance heating technology is well suited to copper wire
rod production. The all-carbon containment system acts as
a strongly reducing environment and avoids risk of ceramic
refractory contamination of the molten copper. These factors
ensure the highest quality oxygen-free copper rod.

Robust and reliable, Pave’s space-saving Cyber-Form
Selekta 2000 wire forming centre offers a full 360 degree,
three-dimensional wire bending capability for complex shapes
at a competitive price.
The machine’s integrated multi-head wire forming facility
provides a wide range of ‘in cycle’ wire bending and end
finishing options, while the fully automatic CNC system allows
a number of normally separate processing operations to be
performed at the same time on the same machine. This cuts
handling and production times considerably and substantially
reduces the cost per product.
Equipped with automatic user-friendly technology to minimise
operator training, the Selekta also incorporates Pave’s patented
‘Trueline’ wire straightening system, which provides accuracy
similar to hard tooling and provides twist-free finished
form products. Other special features include a double end
chamfering unit, moving guillotines for back and front cuts, a
double pressing station, roll threading unit and manipulation
unit for double eye end forming.
The compact Selekta can be customised to suit specific user
requirements, such as profile cutting and welding.
