The furnace is directly heated. The heat is
transferred into the wire by convection,
at ow velocities of up to 120m/s. This
provides much better energy e ciency
than heating by radiation.

Witels-Albert
Stand: 09E37
Witels-Albert will be presenting both
new and eld-proven solutions from its
range of straightener, roll, guide, feed and
pre-former products.
The company will turn the spotlight onto
engineering solutions for straightening
applications and the feeding of process
materials. The show also gives visitors
the opportunity to learn more about
the latest ideas from the world of wire,
tube, rope and cable production and to
familiarise themselves with the services
that Witels-Albert can o er.

WTM
Stand: 11E77
WTM will show all visitors the results of
its most recent research. Inspired by the
direct experience and the production
needs of customers, new solutions have
been developed by its engineers for
enhancing the production performance
and possibilities of its taping equipment.
In particular, on display will be:
•
A working horizontal line with
two
taping
modules
wrapping
polyimide +PTFE, typical application
for aerospace cables. They will be
equipped with new 150mm and
200mm taping heads for cross wound
spools, that can run up to 3,000rpm,
tted with a high sensitivity tape
tension control. These heads are also
suitable for any other kind of tape.
For the quality control on the taping
process, the Visio System will be
installed and working.
•
A working vertical taping line suitable
for a revolutionary mica tape, an
innovative tape for the production
of re resistant and re retardant
cables. The advantages of this new
technology are no tape- icking e ect,
reduced quantity of tape needed,
increased production e ciency in
the following extrusion process and
smaller thickness of the required
external insulating material; all this
resulting in a greater e ciency in the
cable installation.
The line is completed with translating
take-up and pay-o , allowing reduced
footprint.
In addition to these machines, WTM will
illustrate a new line developed for the
application of metallic tapes on coaxial
cables suitable for high frequencies, and
all its production range, together with
taping lines for other applications. These
include single twist bunching machines,
sintering ovens, and machines for testing
cables etc.

Zumbach
Stand: 11D43
Novel,
intelligent
and
cost-e cient
solutions for in-line measurement and
control of wires and cables are going
to be the focus of Zumbach’s stand at
wire 2014.
New linear sensor technology allows
cost-e ective,
synchronous
multi-axis
measurement of diameter and ovality
in any cable, tube and hose extrusion
process.
▲
MSD – one of the new series of diameter and
ovality measuring heads based on linear sensor
technology
Unique measurement technology for
products up to 200mm outside diameter:
•
A new product line with two-coloured
LED
light
sources
allowing
simultaneous
scanning
in
each
axis (XY) and thus trouble-free
measurement even with product
vibration. This new concept allows
even a four-axis measurement of
products up to 54mm diameter
•
Integrated extraneous light lters
prevent occurrence of measurement
errors
that
to
date
seemed
unavoidable
•
Perfect
performance
even
with
re ective surfaces thanks to the use
of di erent colour lighting for each
measurement axis
The versatile high-tech ultrasonic system
Wallmaster
o ers
application-speci c
solutions for measuring and monitoring
wall thickness.
The measuring data processor with
touch-screen display gathers data and
fully automatic quality control.
In combination with ultrasonic UMAC®
scanners and various ODAC® diameter
measuring gauges as well as error
detectors, the measuring and monitoring
scale can be expanded to outside and
inside diameter, statistics, SPC and
processor communication.
Using Zumbach’s Wallmaster measure-
ment and control systems, manufacturers
can economise their expenditure of raw
materials. The ROI is achieved within a
few months. The use of these systems also
allows a considerable reduction in start-up
time.
The novel construction (patent pending)
of new ultrasonic scanners is going to
be one of the exhibition’s highlights: the
transducers can be either individually
or simultaneously adjusted to the best
possible measuring position within
seconds.
The scanners cover an outside diameter
up to 180mm and represent a smart
and simple solution for full non-contact,
in-line eccentricity and wall thickness
measurement of cable jackets, tubes and
hoses.
Complete line of measurement and
control equipment for any online and
manufacturing process, includes:
•
New one, two and three-axis diameter
high precision gauges form part of the
well-known ODAC® series for any wire
and cable. New models are available
with special beam geometry, fault
detection function and high scan rate.
•
The advanced ODEX® concentricity
and
diameter
gauge
for
wire
extrusion. Fully non-contact, based on
magnetic and laser technology
•
New LSV length and speed gauges,
down to zero speed measurement
•
New and state-of-the-art spark tester
AC and DST systems
•
Advanced KW fault detectors with
new local BAE control and display unit
•
New
economic,
modular
high
performance
USYS
IPC
data
acquisition, processing and display
units
•
Rayex® D series: Zumbach’s X-ray
measuring and control system for CV
lines, for wall thickness (three layers),
eccentricity and diameter/ovality for
CV lines
•
Pro lemaster® PMM 30/50/80 series:
High-end non-contact pro le and
shape measurement, combining laser
and CCD technology for shaped wire
and any other pro le.
