At this year’s show it will be exhibiting
two of the Ultimat UMW models with
automatic butt welding. An Ultimat
UMW-65 suitable for a range of 2-8mm
used extensively by manufacturers of
point of purchase displays and super-
market shelving, etc.
Also on show will be the smaller
Ultimat UMW-45, suitable for a range of
2-5mm and used by manufacturers of
lampshades, automotive components and
air ltration products. This machine will
also be tted with a FUS Frame Unloading
System for unloading and stacking
nished products.
All Ultimat models feature a closed die
forming and cutting system, giving a high
quality square, burr-free cut and butt
weld. Options available include secondary
bend heads, press tools, drilling, threading
and chamfering stations, and automatic
part unloading systems.
Models available are for a wire range from
2 to 160mm.

Upcast
Stand: 09C06
The original Upcast® continuous casting
technology allows e cient casting of top
quality copper and copper alloy rod. It
is a simple process with easy operation
through an advanced control system,
with reliability built on 40 years of
consistent development work, operational
experience and customer service.
There is a wide range of alloyed coppers
and copper alloys that can be cast with
Upcast®. These include, for example,
silver bearing and phosphor-deoxidised
coppers, brasses and bronzes; copper
magnesium may also become part of
the range soon. As new applications for
copper alloys are being developed and
new types of copper alloys emerge, the
utilisation of Upcast® technology within
the copper alloys eld is rapidly increasing.
Upcast® rod production lines are of
modular design. Both single and double
furnace con gurations are possible.
With a double-furnace con guration
– having separate melting and casting
furnaces – it is possible to reach 40,000tpa
output, while 12,000tpa is possible for
a single-furnace con guration. A wide
capacity range both in single- and
double-furnace con gurations is available
with unique upgradeability.
Di erent
rod
sizes
can
be
cast
simultaneously by easily adjusting output
and product mix according to market
demands. Upcast® lines are extremely
exible and always tailor-made to match
the needs of each speci c customer.
If scrap – clean and dry – will form a
signi cant part of the input material then
a double-furnace con guration should be
the preferred choice.
The majority of delivered UPCAST® lines
are for Cu-OF rod. The most common cast
rod diameter is 8mm which is the standard
size within the cable and wire industry.
Rods with bigger diameters are used for
manufacturing a variety of products, eg
bus-bars, trolley wires, electroplating
anodes, etc. Upcast® Cu-OF rod is
well-suited for all electrical applications
and has become the preferred feedstock
especially for:
•
ne and multi-wire drawing where
ductility requirements are most
demanding
•
enamel wire production where surface
nish is of utmost importance
•
continuous rotary extrusion where
tool wear rate is a crucial factor
Absence of harmful emissions and
need for waste treatment reduces the
environmental
footprint
of
Upcast®
casting lines. In addition to the small
environmental footprint other Upcast®
GreenerCAST characteristics are clear: low
lifecycle costs, easy variation of output,
use of scrap in the process and unique
upgradability.

Videx Machinery
Stand: 15A47
On display at the Videx stand will be a
range of machinery:
A fully automatic bent bolt machine from
coil, model VAS-10-BH, for the production
of stainless steel isolation studs for the
housing industry. The machine pulls
the wire from coil, straightens it, cuts to
length, thread rolls and bends to shape.
It is equipped with a separation and
packaging system for packing a preset
number of nished parts.
