PWM Ltd
Booth 1355
British company PWM will present its
best-selling EP500 rod welder, plus a range
of powerful portable cold welders and
manual machines. The PWM products
will be featured by Joe Snee Associates,
exclusive distributor of PWM cold welding
equipment, spares and dies in the US and
Canada.
PWM’s electro/pneumatic EP500 cold
welder provides a cost-effective method of
welding large non-ferrous rod sections. The
machine is designed for wire sizes 5mm to
12.5mm (0.197" to 0.492") copper and 5mm
to 15mm (0.59") aluminum, and is quiet,
clean and energy efficient to operate.
The smaller air/hydraulic HP100 cold welder,
for welding wire and strip 1mm to 5mm
(0.039" to 0.197") is mounted on a trolley, so
it can be wheeled quickly to the work area.
Manual cold welders on show include the
manually operated M101 cold welder,
for copper wire and strip 1mm to 3.6mm
(0.04" to 0.141") and aluminum 1mm to
5mm (0.197”). The M101 can be used on a
workbench or supplied with a trolley.
Suitable for joining fine wire in confined
spaces, PWM’s M10, M25 and M30
hand-held machines are suitable for wire
and strip 0.1mm to 1.8mm (0.0039" to 0.071").
The BM10 and BM30 models, for similar wire
sizes, can be used on aworkbench or trolley.
PWM machines and dies, standard or
custom made to suit round or profile wire
and rod, are designed and made in the
company’s own UK workshops.

Queins Machines GmbH
Booth 1506
Queins will show large-sized pictures of
machines on display, as well as a movie
showing the machines in operation.
Since the 1970s the company has supplied
new and reconditioned machinery to
customers of the cable and rope industry
worldwide. By consulting with customers,
Queins is continuously updating its range.
Besides the standard machines for the
production of cables and ropes, it also
supplies huge production lines for special
industries such as the offshore or the
transformer industry.
Queins offers a wide range of modern rigid,
planetary, skip-type and tubular stranders,
single- or double-twist bunchers/stranders,
machines for the production of off-shore
and umbilical cables, continuously
transposed conductors (CTC) as well as
disc- and belt-capstans, taping machines
and all types of pay-offs and take-ups.
It also offers used and reconditioned
cable-making machines which have
been modernized and finished with new
components according to the customer’s
specification.

radcon
Booth 457
RadCon manufactures bell-type furnaces
for spheroidize annealing of wire and wire
rod for the production of cold-heading
quality wires.
RadCon specializes in spheroidizing of
alloy steel hot-rolled wire rod and drawn
wires, resulting in a clean surface that is
free of decarburization. The company,
headquartered in the USA, operates
globally, with over half of its turnover
generated outside the USA for the last ten
years.
RadCon offers advanced systems for
annealingwireandwire rod, medium-carbon
and alloy steels, to cold-heading quality
specifications. The H2SHC™ system is said
to provide the highest convection of any
system to produce the uniform mechanical
properties necessary for the manufacture
of high quality fasteners.
RadCon’s proportional-pulse control
system design produces a stable thermal
cycle, key to achieving 90 to 100 percent
spheroidization, for prolonged die life
and better flow during the cold forming
process. A 100 percent hydrogen protective
atmosphere and patented AC/APEx™
control system ensure surface quality free of
decarburization - an important element in
the production of cold-heading quality wires.
