The dry cleaning, coating and drawing
(DCCD) process offers substantial cost
savings replacing conventional rod wet
preparation, including acid cleaning/
rinsing/wet pre-coating and drying, by
the new totally dry and green process
that presents a unique combination of
simplicity and effectiveness.
The DCCD process is used in the most
demanding H/C and L/C drawing
applications from mechanically descaled
bare rod, including 0.88-0.90%C, drawn
directly
without
wet
pre-coating
chemicals, including spring wire, rope
wire, PC strand wire, CO
2
welding wire,
cold heading wire, plating wire, etc.
The process operates at zero maintenance
cost as there is no acid, no hot liquid tanks
for rod pre-coating, no hot air blowers to
dry wet rod, and it operates at virtually
zero energy consumption. The rod
moisture, the number one enemy for wire
drawing, is completely eliminated.
In operation, all lubrication variables
communicate together in a sensitive
and automatic multi-way interaction to
form a high-density strongly adherent
full-film
anti-wear
lubricant
coat,
weight-adjustable, enabling frictionless
drawing
benefiting
from
physical
separation of wire-die contact in all drafts.
The DCCD process revolutionises the
wire drawing process. Customers target
immediate total savings of 50-64 per cent
in the production cost of drawn wire, in
all drawing applications with virtually no
speed limit, which is dictated mainly by
rod pay-off and wire take-up modes.

Rod cleaning and wire drawing by DCCD process
Paul Leibinger has added another
module to its Winjet3 software for
controlling multiple Jet3 inkjet printers.
‘Winjet3 XY’ is used to mark and code
product ranges quickly and easily on a
gantry system.
This ensures a more efficient and
cost-effective production process. Thanks
to variable input fields, the module can
be adapted to meet a variety of customer
requirements.
The new Winjet3 XY software module
enables
cost-efficient
marking
and
coding of a wide variety of products
in a gantry system. Before every new
print job, Winjet3 XY automatically
calculates the optimum travel path on
the specific gantry system in seconds,
and the labelling path with the shortest
processing time is automatically selected.
During the printing process, the software
precisely controls the print head situated
on the labelling axis as it moves across the
imprinted products.
This makes it possible to mark and code
materials such as boards, components or
packaging with multiple uses quickly and
easily from left to right and top to bottom.
The new Leibinger software features
high storage capacity and an intuitive,
user-friendly interface. A computer can be
used to adapt the program effortlessly to
new product ranges through the use of
variable input fields.
Parameters like packaging units per
carton, number of products in the batch
and assignment of products can be
selected from a drop-down menu or
entered in clearly arranged text fields.
Printing and production progress are both
specified in numbers as a percentage but
also illustrated in a continuous bar graph.
A second counter indicates how many
products have already been imprinted.
This allows the operator to monitor the
printing or production progress from the
comfort of a PC.
The Winjet3 XY software module is
compatible with Leibinger Jet3 series
inkjet printers. The Jetmotion works well
as a portal axis and can now move not
only vertically, but also horizontally in
combination.

Super from Sicme
Sicme Italia Impianti, a manufacturer of enamelled wire machines, has introduced its
latest high-technology wire enamelling machine, the Super EG.
This machine can change the way enamelled wire is produced and is the result of six
years of hard work, research and development.
The prototype of this plant was on display a week after wire 2014 and during the
demonstration the machine was running for aluminium wire diameter of 0.28mm
at speed of 720m/minute producing excellent quality magnet wire with tan-delta
197.0/ 251.7 C, which is revolutionary for speed and quality. This would make the
Super EG one of the fastest machines with 40 per cent more production capability.
This super high speed and low cost production is possible by a combination of
electrical energy for motive and any combustible gas like methane, propane, LPG,
butane, etc, for thermal energy.
Sicme Italia Impianti has already patented this technology and is in the process of
obtaining safety certificates from governments of various countries.
