PWM
Booth 402
PWM, which celebrates 30 years of service
to the wire and cable industry this year,
will showcase its comprehensive range of
high-performance manual cold pressure
welding machines. The products will be
presented by Joe Snee Associates, PWM’s
exclusive distributor for the USA and
Canada.
The versatile M101, one of PWM’s
best-selling machines, is the largest cold
welder on show.
Precision engineered to produce strong
reliable welds on copper wire 0.04" to
0.141" (1mm to 3.6mm) and aluminium
wire 0.04" to 0.197" (1mm to 5mm), the
M101 is also used to weld pro les and
strips for armouring lines.
Low maintenance and easy to operate,
the M101 can be used on a workbench
or supplied with a trolley, enabling the
operator to move it quickly to the work
area.
PWM’s hand-held M10, M25 and M30
models, for wire 0.0039" to 0.071" (0.1mm
to 1.8mm) diameter, are comfortable to
hold and simple to use. The larger BM10
and BM30 cold welders, for use on a
workbench, are durable, low-maintenance
machines for similar wire sizes.
PWM cold welding equipment is designed
and made to high quality standards by
skilled technicians in PWM’s own UK
workshops.
Dies are individually hand-made in
matched sets, in standard or custom sizes,
to suit round or pro le wire.

QED
Booth 335
QED specialises in equipment for
heat-treating, cleaning and coating of
steel wire. Custom designed and built,
its high-speed lines are for galvanising,
Galfan®, patenting, annealing, and oil
tempering processes.
Combining innovative design concepts
with 30 years’ practical experience, QED
has developed a range of products and
equipment that is both technologically
advanced and ruggedly dependable.
With a view to improved e ciency and
to minimise environmental impact, QED
developed the dual loop pressure control
combustion system. This system maintains
a steady output and close air-gas ratio.
It now uses this patented combustion
control system on all its multiple burner
furnaces.
QED has recently upgraded its uidbed
technology with proportional, closed-loop
feedback and mass ow controls. The
Siemens PLC-based system provides much
higher thermal e ciency and lower fuel
costs than previous systems. Fluidbeds
operate from DV=120 to DV=240 and from
1.5t/h to 8t/h production.
The latest development in galvanising
furnaces is the advanced recuperative
technology mark 4 immersion burner.
This burner o ers dramatically higher
combustion e ciency from a double
pass pre-heat design with extended
heat-transfer area.
Constructed of stainless and high nickel
alloy steels this modularly constructed
burner o ers an extended operating
lifespan and reduced maintenance.
