cable manufacturers, and they were
looking for new ways to improve product
quality, increase productivity, and reduce
manufacturing costs. These organizations
were particularly interested in learning more
about our new ultra-fast AccuScan 5000
Series diameter gauges, LayScan lay length
measurement system, and DCM SCS-700
and ES-2G cable testing systems, as well as
our other measurement solutions.
“Our new dual-axis AccuScan 5000 Series
gauges perform high-speed diameter and
ovality measurements at 2400 scans per
second per axis and provide the highest
single-scan accuracy in the industry,”
addedMr Snaith. “The AccuScan 5000 Series
effectively monitors unique shapes and
profiles for faster process control, catches
flaws faster with the High-Speed Tolerance
checking option, and easily connects to
PC, PLC, or other processes with leading
protocols.”
“Overall, this show provided us with an
excellent opportunity to meet with existing
and new potential customers and increase
business. Beta LaserMike is looking forward
to the next wire show.”
And Woody Holland, sales manager for
Clinton Instrument Company, added: “This
year our new products focused primarily
on automated calibration equipment for
spark test systems that will enable customers
to meet EN standards for both voltage and
sensitivity. Having this new equipment for
the world market generated a lot of interest
and we were pleasantly surprised with a
consistent flow of customers beginning early
in the morning on Monday and continuing
through Tuesday afternoon.
“The busy flow of Monday and Tuesday
returned to us on Thursday with many
promising leads and constructive
conversations. As many customers made
their way back home, Friday was a good
time to visit with friends and OEM customers
in the booth.
“Wire is certainly the biggest and best
show we attend and the show in 2014 did
not disappoint. The quality of conversation
and busy atmosphere was a significant
improvement in the activity we had seen in
both wire 2012 and 2010. It is encouraging
to see levels of activity and interest returning
to levels prior to the world market decline in
2008.
“Based on what I’ve heard, other exhibitors
were very pleased with the people who
attended and optimistic about 2014 and
beyond. We look forward to future years at
wire and now is the time to turn our efforts
from 2014 into more business.”
Plans are already well underway for wire
2016 which takes place again in Düsseldorf
from 4th to 8th April 2016.
