For carbon steel, Vicafil TS 1550
provides an environmentally friendly
salt coating, free from boron salts.
Supralub 35 is designed for tube
drawing of stainless and carbon steel.
The coating is directly applied on bare
metal, without previous surface
preparation such as zinc phosphate,
ensuring cost and time savings. This
eco-friendly product, based on dry
lubricants, contains no solvent or
heavy metal, and does not produce
waste such as zinc phosphate sludge.
The company also has a range of
products for phosphorus diffusion,
including a new surface treatment
alternative to zinc phosphate for cold
heading. Condat’s Extrugliss® is a cold
heading dual purpose oil, for both
forming lubrication and machinery
lubrication.

Conoptica is launching several new
production and quality control
systems, aimed specifically at the
challenges which the shaped die, wire
and rod industry face. Conoptica’s
shaped die, wire and rod systems can
measure the entire 3D and 2D profile
of shaped dies and wires with
sub-micrometer accuracy, by using
advanced optical technology.
By performing statistical process
control on measurement data, pro-
duction speed and quality is enhanced,
ensuring that only the best dies are
used, which reduces wire breaks and
production stoppages. It is necessary
to measure both the drawing die and
the product for efficient quality control
of shaped wires and rods.
If the wire or rod dimensions deviate
from nominal values, the drawing die
might need modification. Conoptica
optical quality control systems can
measure corresponding parameters for
both product and tool to specify the
correct drawing die parameters.
Measurements are closely linked
through a common model for both
product and tool.

Cortinovis Machinery SpA is certain to
be strengthened after its purchase by
the Eurolls Group. Customers can
expect a wide range of new and patent
machines, especially designed to
improve productivity and reduce
production costs. The most important
new and patent machines are the
central tubular strander for conductors,
and the conotorsion machine with its
high productivity and flexible
production range in making armouring,
screening, laying-up of control cables
and low voltage cables.
In addition Cortinovis is still producing
traditional updated machinery and
lines like the rigid strander, drum
twister for milliken, lines for screening
and armouring with the most advanced
solutions, SZ lines, pairing and
quadding machines, tandem group
twinner lines, zero-twist lines for LAN
cables, planetary for OPGW, tubular
and bow stranders, planetary stranders
and closers, both at total and partial
detorsion, pay-off and take-up stands,
taping and binding heads.

One of CPA’s most important business
fields is the engineering and production
of plants for the galvanic plating of
wires and bands, which serve the
production of steel cord for the auto
tyre industry. As one of the technically
most challenging technologies in wire
production it bears high safety require-
ments. The high demands on the quality
of the galvanic plating process refer, in
particular, to the production of sub-
sequently cold-formed steel wires,
especially concerning a homogenous
layer composition, application quantity
and layer thickness.
Beside production data acquisition,
statistic process control and computer
assisted quality assurance, CPA can
offer this branch of industry a patented
‘technology for the galvanic plating of
wires and bands’. In addition to a new
construction of the plating baths for
separate control of the single process
sections despite common preparation
and supply of the electrolyte, CPA has
also developed suitable technologies
and equipment for cleaning and
diffusion of the wire.
The tailor-made process control and
documentation system makes it
possible to manage up to 4,000 digital
control modules and allows for simple
operation and a saving on operational
personnel.
