manager
Beta LaserMike has appointed Stuart Manser as sales
director for the Asia region.
Mr Manser has been with Beta LaserMike since 1990,
holding a number of key positions including UK and
Ireland sales manager, general manager of Beta LaserMike
Ltd (UK) and, most recently, as western USA district
sales manager. Prior to Beta LaserMike, Mr Manser
developed extensive experience in the field of metrology.
He spent his early career as an engineering metrologist for
Rolls-Royce Aero Engines. Mr Manser holds professional
qualifications in both mechanical and production
engineering.
In this new role, Stuart Manser replaces Ken Wright,
president of Beta LaserMike, who has been assuming
the role of sales director in Asia. Mr Manser will be
responsible for overseeing the Asia-Pacific sales strategy
and implementation, as well as working closely with Beta
LaserMike’s channel partner network to increase the
company’s presence and delivery of measurement and
control solutions in China, Japan, Korea, and South East
Asia.
Beta LaserMike has appointed Ethem Erdas as western
USA district sales manager.
In his new position, Mr Erdas will be responsible for the
market penetration of Beta LaserMike’s products and
services with key customer accounts and target market
segments. A key role will be working with channel partners
to drive continued sales growth in the western USA region.
This involves the delivery of the company’s non-contact
measurement and control solutions and services across
a range of industries including wire and cable and
metrology-related applications. Mr Erdas will be based in
California.

D3 is a real first
Euroalpha is the leading manufacturer of drawing
machines for non-ferrous wires with limited-slip
technology, a design greatly appreciated by wire and
cable manufacturers worldwide.
Encouraged by customers, and based on deep technical
expertise, the company has extended its range of
limited-slip drawing machines to multiwire: exclusive
equipment that goes much beyond the technology of
similar ones currently available on the market.
D3 is the first multiwire drawing machine ever designed
with drawing capstans individually motor-driven, and
available with up to 32 wires.
Additional drawing modules with capstans driven by
high-precision gear transmission are incorporated in the
frame for producing thinner wires.
Such design represents an unmatchable solution for
cutting the negative effects of the slip, more consistent
on the slower capstans, and guaranteeing a rigid
mechanical transmission to the faster capstans, drawing
thinner sizes.
Consistent energy consumption savings, almost negligible
maintenance, extreme operational flexibility (thanks to
the variable elongations the same drawing machine can
produce a very wide range of finished wires), reduced wire
breakings, low noise level, and other important benefits
of the limited-slip technology are therefore available on
multiwire drawing machines as well.

Free-arm technology
Vinston CNC’s 12-axis camless CNC spring machine is
equipped with free-arm technology that enables the series
of spring machines to easily produce all kinds of difficult
spring.
The machine is 30 per cent or more efficient than
traditionally produced cam type springs.
Advance attachments such as rotary wire, spinners
and the x-y free arm can be optionally attached to the
machine.
