WIRE & CABLE INDIA
WIRE & CABLE INDIA - 5 th International Exhibition & Conference for the Wire & Cable Industry 60
28-30 October
Also on display will be the CenterScan
2010 gauge to accurately and reliably
measure the insulation diameter and
conductor eccentricity of wire and
cable. This gauge is engineered with a
set of features to help manufacturers
maximise product quality and reduce
production scrap.
The CenterScan 2010 performs eccen-
tricity, diameter and flaw detection
measurements in one gauge head. The
gauge is compact for installation
versatility and easily integrates into
production environments with built-in
flexible communications. An optional
ultra-bright display enables the user to
easily access, view and configure
gauge functions.

Condat
Stand: 1D14
Condat will present its latest
developments in surface technologies
for metal forming and its extensive
range of lubricants for wire drawing
and cold rolling including:
• Vicafil®: a comprehensive range of
wire drawing powders, wet
lubricants, pastes, neat oils and
greases
• Steelskin® advanced lubricants for
special wire drawing applications
• Galvasmooth® smoke-free char-
coals for high zinc weight
galvanised wires
Also on display will be two innovative
products:
Vicafil TS 7300 AD: New performance
booster for borax coating. Based on
water soluble mineral salts, Vicafil TS
7300 AD is simply added to the borax
solution. It improves standard borax
coatings, providing a better coat
weight control. In case of high
moisture it helps keep the coating
even and adherent with no need to
process the coils again.
Vicafil Sumac 5: New dry drawing
lubricant – sodium soap based. This
has been designed for wire drawing at
very high speed. It offers the ability to
work at higher temperature/speed
whilst providing a high lubricating
stability. It is suitable for stainless steel
and high carbon spring wire, bead wire
and steel cord applications.

Enkotec
Stand: 1B37
Enkotec will focus on its ENKOnail
series of nail manufacturing machines,
intended for small and midsize capacity
needs. These machine models include
the MM01 producing large nails of
ø2.8-4.2mm and 60-103mm lengths at
a speed of 850 nails per minute.
Another ENKOnail machine is the
MI01, producing 1,000 nails per
minute at ø2-3.8mm and 50-90mm
lengths. The machines are based on
the well-known Enkotec rotary forming
principle making it possible to
manufacture high-quality nails at a
high speed and with low running
costs.
Bent Petersen, managing director,
said: “When designing the ENKOnail
series, we have had a strong focus
on assuring our customers optimal
machine performance in relation to
investment.”
The ENKOnail machine is synonymous
with high efficiency and user-
friendliness, featuring simple adjust-
ments, quick tooling changeovers, easy
access for cleaning and service, long
tooling life, high stability, saving of
space, and low-noise production.
Mr Petersen added: “We see our
ENKOnail models as a very strong
alternative for our customers’ capacity
needs, whether they produce a single
