The variety and quality of technical
papers at the CabWire World
Conference in Milan, Italy, was the
highlight for delegates attending the
one-day conference.
‘Innovations driving worldwide wire
and cable markets’ was the theme for
the event, held at the Palazzo Turati in
Milan on Monday, 4th November 2013.
Organised by the International Wire
and Machinery Association, ACIMAF,
IWCEA, CET and the WAI, the
welcome was given by both Ferruccio
Bellina of ACIMAF and Guillio
Properzi, of Continuus Properzi SpA.
Keynote speakers were economic
development specialist Professor
Vitale, of Italy, who presented ‘Towards
a new economy: the maps of Europe
and Italy’; and Philip Radbourne, of
Integer Research, UK, who presented
‘A review of the European wire and
cable sector’ to delegates.
There was also a good take-up of
visitors to the table-top conference
throughout the day.
More than 180 people attended
the event and the gala dinner in
the evening at the Palazzo Clerici,
originally the home of the rich and
influential noble family of Milan Clerici.
“Well established and renowned
international companies acted as both
speakers and visitors to CabWire,”
said Andy Lewis, executive manager
of the IWMA, joint organisers.
“The whole event was well attended
and the feedback we have received
has been both positive and praising.”

New pay off cantilever and dancer unit
PS Costruzioni has launched a new
model of its pay-off cantilever and
dancer unit.
This new pay-off is very sturdy and
can be used for both insulated and
non-insulated copper cables, while
the dancer can process cables
with very small sections, down
to 0.15mm 2. It also guarantees
a steady control on tension
during the unwinding process
(acceleration, maximum speed and
deceleration).
The loading and unloading of the
reel pintles is fast and automatic.
The operator only has to place the
reel between the two pintles and
select the reel diameter. Loading
and unloading take place by means
of a steel platform, activated by a
pneumatic cylinder.
This platform has two movements:
• vertical: for loading/unloading the
spool, by means of a pneumatic
cylinder
• horizontal (sideways): for easily
taking out the reel from the pintles.
The horizontal movements take place
on bearings
