voltage, overhead cable (including new
development with various shaped wires)
and insulated cable, AC type (using high
quality Milliken conductor) or DC type
(using large round compacted cross
sections).
Pourtier has recently made achievements
in the eld of submarine and umbilical
cables with the supply of large armouring
lines and laying-up lines. The company
is continuously extending its range of
machinery to meet customers’ needs.
Leaders in rotating machines, Pourtier
and Setic (also a member of the Gauder
Group), are o ering a wide range of
twisting/stranding solutions to cable
makers and steel rope producers.
On display on the stand will be a tubular
strander module for power cable and steel
rope.

Proton Products
Stand: 11D77
Proton Products will exhibit its core
product range comprising dual and three
plane “superfast” diameter gauges, spark
testers, capacitance monitors, lump and
neckdown detectors, non-contact wire/
cable length gauges and the range of wire
induction preheaters.
New this year will be:
• inteliTHERM™, a new non-contact
wire temperature measuring system
available on all Proton preheaters and
retro t-able to other wire preheaters
• Heavy duty wire preheaters for
conductors up to 35mm²
• EU directive 2004/22/EC legal
metrology compliant wire and cable
length measuring systems
• A new range of mini-diameter gauges
with 20,000 scans/second measuring
speed

PWM
Stand: 09B41
PWM will introduce two new cold pressure
welders: the ST40 for welding strip, and
the HP180T for joining ne/medium wire.
The new ST40 air/hydraulic strip welder
has been developed speci cally for
joining non-ferrous strip and tape used on
armouring lines.
The machine, designed to cold weld strip
and tape with a maximum width of 45mm
(1.772") and a maximum cross sectional
area of 33mm² (0.0514 square inch),
produces reliable bonds stronger than the
parent material without loss of electrical
integrity.
No set up time is required and, like
all PWM welders, the ST40 is low
maintenance, simple and cost e ective to
operate. Mounted on a trolley, the ST40
can be wheeled easily to the work area,
saving e ort and reducing downtime.
The new HP180T air/hydraulic cold welder
for wire 0.3mm to 1.8mm (0.0118" to
0.071") is a versatile machine supplied on
a trolley. It can be handheld (within the
limit of the air supply pipe) if required.
Quick and easy to use, the HP180T enables
the operator to produce strong, consistent
welds without e ort. An alternative
version of the machine (the HP180CP)
can be supplied with its air/hydraulic
booster in a carry pack, making the unit
completely portable.
Also on show will be PWM’s powerful,
energy-e cient electro/pneumatic and
electro/hydraulic rod welders for joining
large rod sections from 5mm to 30mm
(0.197" to 1.181"), and its comprehensive
range of manual cold welders for wire
sizes 0.1mm to 5mm (0.0039" to 0.197").
This includes lightweight hand-held
machines, as well as larger portable
models, which can be used on a
workbench or with a trolley.
PWM cold welding equipment is 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.

Q8Oils
Stand: 11D21
Q8Oils sta will be on hand to discuss its
many recently launched products and
service-led initiatives available for the
worldwide wire, tube and cable market.
These are speci cally developed to
reduce manufacturing costs and increase
productivity.
Q8Oils is a European developer, manu-
facturer and supplier of a comprehensive
range of lubricants for the metal industry,
lubricants for the drawing, rolling and
forming applications of wire, rod, bar, tube
and strip. The specialist range is developed
for the metal manufacturing processes
of copper, brass, phosphor bronze,
aluminium, aluminium alloy, plated metal,
precious metals and stainless steel.
Q8Oils is committed to the worldwide
wire and tube market with sales in over
85 countries worldwide from the Americas
to Asia.
Complementing the existing Priamus,
Wirol and Aludra ranges are four new
wire-drawing lubricants which utilise
the latest additive technology to provide
enhanced lubrication and meet the latest
worldwide environmental legislation.
• Conductor Grease prevents corrosion
of overhead line conductors made
from aluminium, aluminium alloy,
steel or multi-metal wires, and is a
cold applied product meeting IEC
61394:2011, EN50326:2002 type 20 A
150 and type 40 A 125.
Increasing the Tantaroll range there are
new environmentally friendly products
for stainless steel ne wire drawing
applications, in the selected viscosities
of 6, 10, 15, 28 and 36 centistokes. These
new product lines complement the
existing and widely sold product range
for the drawing and rolling of copper and
aluminium alloys as well as the extensive
Q8Oils metal manufacturing product
range and services.
