Uhing has developed the AVS traversing
width controller that, without using any
interference-prone optical sensors, auto-
matically corrects winding flaws in the
particularly critical reversing area operating.
The traversing system used is the well-known
Uhing rolling ring drive featuring pneumatically
controlled reversing triggered by a controller.
As soon as the AVS detects a dent or bulge
in the reversal area, it stores the traversing
system position and the type of flaw. In the
next traversing strokes, the controller will
correct this flaw by adapting the traversing
width. The result is an optimally wound
coil that can be further processed without
problems.
The AVS traversing width controller stores
parameters for up to 10 different coil types.
It is suited for coils with straight or conical
flanges and cylindrical or conical cores.
Uhing will showcase the newly developed
sizes ELIII 10-22 of the Easylock fast-action
clamping system that allows high torques
to be transferred to coils and foil rolls on
plain shafts. The customer can now choose
from lighter and more ergonomic clamping
modules in the 10-30mm diameter range. As
a novelty in the rolling ring drive sector, Uhing
also presents the RGK 15, an attractively
priced rolling ring drive specially suited for
simple winding tasks.

Ultimation Machines will be displaying the
latest developments in the range of two
axis wire forming machines, suitable for the
manufacture of supermarket shelving, and
point of purchase displays.
The latest models include the umw-65 2 axis
wire forming and welding machine, suitable
for a range of 2.00–8.00mm. Also on display
will be the ucw-65 automatic cross wire
welding machine, designed for the automatic
welding of cross support wires into frames
used in the manufacture of refrigerator/oven
shelves and air filter frames.
The machine incorporates a wire feed unit
for the crosswires and a frame magazine,
which can be loaded directly from any umw-
65 model or manually by hand.
All ultimat models feature a ‘closed die’
forming and cutting system, giving a high
quality square, burr free cut and butt weld.
Options include a secondary bend head
for high speed production of complex wire
forms and automatic part unloading systems,
tooling for flat and shaped wire, as well as
round wire.

The upward continuous casting method,
better known as the Upcast® system,
was originally innovated and developed
by Outokumpu in the late 1960s for the
production of oxygen-free (OF) copper and
copper alloy wire rod.
Since the start-up of the first production line
in 1971 more than 170 other Upcast® units
have been delivered worldwide, establishing
itself as the leading production method in its
line of business.
Today the Upcast® legacy is carried on under
the banner of a new independent company,
Upcast OY, who will exhibit its full range
of single and double furnace casting lines.
Several interesting, new developments have
been introduced to the Upcast® system.
Among these are: Output from the single-
furnace system extended up to 12,000tpa
capacity; output from double furnace system
extended up to 40,000tpa capacity; a new
double-loop type inductor doubling the
available power range together with a marked
decrease in specific power consumption;
a transistor converter type stepless power
control system offering reduced specific
power consumption, increased inductor
lifetime and the elimination of harmonic
resonance effects; a ‘universal’ type coiler
handling a wide range of rod sizes.
These, together with a number of other new
features to be presented, will offer the user
of an Upcast® system improved economics
and reliability without compromising the all-
important rod quality.
