BAR sets the products
level even higher
Following a successful 2012, Bar Products
and Services Ltd has continued to grow,
and with new staff and equipment
to support this growth, plans are
already being put into place for further
investment in the Yorkshire-based
precision tooling company.
Major orders for the wire rope industry
have already been received and shipped
to various companies in Europe and the
UK – a very promising start to 2013 which
could make it the most successful year
of the firm’s 20-year history. Worldwide
export sales now account for over 75 per
cent of the company’s sales.
“We have not only taken on experienced
staff to cover the company’s immediate
growth, we have also started a new
apprenticeship scheme to provide for
our future skill requirements,” said Steven
Rika, managing director.
Preparations are already well underway
for the industry flagship exhibition in
Düsseldorf in 2014, where it will once
again display the extensive range of
its products to illustrate the company’s
capabilities.

British pioneers in cold
pressure welding
PWM Ltd, based in Kent, has been at the
forefront of cold welding technology
for more than 25 years. The company
is a leading firm in the design and
manufacture of high-performance cold
welding machines and dies, and a global
supplier to the international wire and
cable industry.
Cold pressure welding is a method
for permanently joining non-ferrous
metals and their alloys without heat,
fillers or fluxes. PWM’s proven cold
welding technology produces a weld
that is stronger than the parent material,
without sacrificing electrical integrity.
Most non-ferrous metals can be cold
welded, including alloys such as Aldrey,
Tripple E, Constantan, 70/30 brass, zinc,
silver and silver alloys, nickel, and gold.
Plated wires, such as tinned copper, silver
plate, and nickel plate can all be welded
to themselves or to plain copper.
PWM machines and dies are designed and
made in PWM’s own workshops by the
company’s skilled engineers to stringent
quality standards.
This ensures PWM has complete control
over all aspects of manufacture, and
all products are thoroughly tested
throughout production.
As a global supplier, PWM has developed
a comprehensive range of cold welding
machines to suit a wide variety of
applications, from small hand-held
manual welders for joining fine copper/
aluminium wire from 0.1mm, up to large,
heavy-duty powered rod welders with
capacities of up to 30mm diameter.
All of PWM’s cold welders are clean,
quiet and safe to operate. The powered
machines in the range are designed to be
as energy efficient as possible. Even the
largest model in PWM’s range, the P1500
rod welder, only requires a small electrical
current to drive the hydraulic pump
motor.
PWM machines are also designed to be
low maintenance and easy to operate,
saving time and effort.
Dies can be standard or custom made
for round or profile wires and rods to
suit customers’ requirements. PWM can
also custom make dies for welding two
different sizes of wire or rod, enabling
manufacturers to weld different wire sizes
together quickly when changing reels.
