wiredInUSA - November 2014

PWM Ltd

Booth 104

PWM’s best-selling M101 cold welder and other

manuallyoperatedmodels from itscomprehensive

range will be in action at Booth 104 at this year’s

IWCS in Rhode Island, from 9

to 12

November.

Represented by Joe Snee Associates, exclusive

distributor for PWM’s machines, spares and dies in

the USA and Canada, visitors are invited to watch

demonstrations of the cold welding technique

and try out the machines for themselves.

The versatile M101 cold welder for bonding

copper wire 0.04" to 0.141" (1mm to 3.6mm) and

aluminum 0.04" to 0.197" (1mm to 5mm) is also

commonly used to weld profiles and strips for

armouring lines. Low maintenance and simple

to operate, the M101 can be used either on a

workbench or supplied with a trolley, enabling

the operator to wheel it quickly to the work area,

saving effort and reducing downtime.

PWM’s smaller BM10 and BM30 manual welders

are robust, reliable machines, designed for

non-ferrous wire and strip 0.0039" to 0.071" (0.1mm

to 1.8mm).

They can also be used on aworkbench or supplied

with a trolley. The M10, M25 and M30 hand-held

models will weld copper/aluminum wire 0.0039" to

0.071" (0.1mm to 1.8mm).

Comfortable to hold and quick and easy to

use, they are suitable for welding wire breaks in

confined spaces.

PWM’s range also includes air/hydraulic, electro/

hydraulic, pneumatic and electro/pneumatic

powered cold welders, for wire and rod up

to 25mm (0.984") copper and 30mm (1.181")

aluminum.

PWM’s cold welding equipment is designed and

made to high standards in PWM’s Britishworkshops.

Dies are individually hand-made in matched sets,

in standard or custom sizes, to suit round or profile

wire.

Roblon A/S

Booth 509

The Roblon precision coiling unit offers automatic

precision winding at high speed.

The controlled positioning of products such

as cables, wires and plastic tubes provides a

uniform winding pattern with no major gaps,

which virtually eliminates product crossings in the

take-up process.

Sensors detect the flanges of the reel, and when

the product reaches the flanges the traversing

direction reverses.

By use of advanced controlling the Roblon

precision coiling unit controls and monitors the

tension by which the product is being placed on

top of the previous product layer and also the

tension by which the product is being placed

evenly side by side during the take-up process.

The uniform positioning of the product means

longer lengths per reel and the possibility for

higher pay-off speed during installation and use.

The Roblon precision coiling unit eliminates very

important safety issues in the take-up process,

because manual guiding of the cable while

winding it onto the reel is no longer necessary.

As the unit is 100 percent automatic, there is

no need to spend resources on monitoring the

winding quality of the reel.

The unit is designed as a stand-alone unit

for easy integration with take-ups in new or

existing production lines. Typical application

areas are:

• OFC SZ stranding lines, to ensure the quality of

the unprotected FO-center

• sheathing lines, for perfect reel finish in in-line

production

• wire lines or rope twisting lines, for perfect reel

finish in in-line production

• rewinding lines, for perfect reel finish
