Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2008 40
LLM from Teurema is a rolling line for
smooth or ribbed wires in high,
medium and low carbon steel.
In the case of construction wire, either
three or four passes are carried out
using Eurolls’ cassettes type A or B.
For small diameter wires, or special
products, the line uses more passes
and Eurolls’ microcassettes. The
sturdy modular structure is said to
make it simple to adapt the number of
passes to the needs of the process.
LLM multi-pass rolling lines work with
an inlet wire rod diameter of 5.5mm to
8mm; the wire is reduced to between
0.8mm to 6mm.
The horizontal or vertical capstans
have plasma or ceramic hardened
surfaces.
Wire rod, from the coil positioned on
the tilting fingers, will pass through the
vertical static payoff, the mechanical
de-scaler and the lubrication unit, then
reach the multi-pass and, by means of
the pulling force of the capstans, will
be reduced and/or ribbed.
The wire is collected by the spooler or
coiler, to a maximum coil weight of
3,000kg.

LLM – multi-pass cold rolling lines
Teurema’s LLM cold rolling line m m
Ecocontrol 600 from Sikora is the smallest of the company’s processor
systems, especially adapted to individual line conditions for highest
productivity within wire and cable production.
Ecocontrol 600 offers one serial interface for the connection of a Sikora
measuring device such as Laser 2000, Centerview 8000, CV-Intube 6000 or
LED 8025 XY. Digital contacts also allow readings from the lump and
neckdown detection system, Lump 2000 and spark tester, Spark 2000. There
are graphical length-related trend diagrams for all values combined with a
graph of the distribution of the single values (statistical distribution curve) and
a statistic with the minimum, maximum value, the mean, standard deviation,
Cp and Cpk values. The operation is menu-driven via a touch screen.
Sikora combines the Ecocontrol 600 with a Laser 2000 for the measurement of
the hot or cold diameter in two or three measuring planes, or the Centerview
8000 for an 8-point-eccentricity, 4-axis diameter, and 8-point ovality
measurement.
Where stringent quality control is required, Ecocontrol 600 can be used with
the CV-Intube 6000, for diameter measurement within CV-lines, or the LED
8025 XY, a diameter-measuring device capable of accurately measuring the
eccentricity of transparent products.
Data can be transferred to a line PC via an Ethernet-interface or an USB flash
drive, while a printer provides a hard copy of the production quality.
Sikora offers Ecocontrol 600 configured in several languages.

Ecocontrol, display and report EDM wires – topas®
plus D
The topas® plus D EDM wire from
bedra has been developed for all
machines which require straightened
wire for automatic threading.
The high tensile strength of
800 N/mm² allows automatic thread-
ing and resists wire breakage; both
important factors for unmanned
overnight operation. Its resistance to
breakage and its high thermal and
electrical capacity ensure process
stability, thus making this electrode
suitable for speed cutting as well as
for contour precision cutting.
As with the other electrodes of the
topas® plus family, topas® plus D
allows a better exploitation of the
performance potential of modern
generators. A significant increase
in performance can be achieved,
even under unfavourable flushing
conditions, and processing times
can be considerably reduced.
