Aeroel Srl
Italian Pavilion
HWS 1 Handy Wire Scanner is a fully
portable optical micrometer for non-
contact measurement of wires, cables
and other similar products.
Developed by Aeroel with LED and CCD
technology, it uses two crossed linear
sensors to automatically compensate
positioning errors (patent pending).
Thanks to a powerful single chip micro-
processor, the micrometer is linearised
and compensated to obtain the
maximum precision in the entire field of
measurement, regardless of an accurate
positioning of the wire.
The measurement is started by pressing
the trigger and takes only a few seconds,
the display provides the operator with
interactive information to place the wire
in the useful measurement area and
displays the measurement result.
All measurements are saved in the
memory of the scanner, associated with
the date, time and the number of the
machine. Through a USB connection,
data can be downloaded to any PC. The
battery is charged via the USB connector
with the supplied power supply; battery
life, with micrometer always active, is
approximately four hours.

Ajex & Turner
Stand: B11
Ajex and Turner will be showing vitrified
nanocrystalline technology for dies and
tools, a completely new concept for wire
drawing and compacting. This provides
more wear resistance, giving an
extremely smooth surface finish with
very low friction. Dies offered are for a
range of 0.8mm to 70mm for copper,
aluminium, aluminium alloy, stainless or
carbon steel wire, and provide a two to
three per cent improvement in raw
material use for metal savings. It holds
zero tolerance for up to 500 metric tons
(stainless steel and carbon steel wire up
to 0.6%C) at a price that is lower than
PCD dies (depending on bore diameter).
The diamond coating is very thin, and it
will not peel off as is the case of a thick
coating, thus increasing the life of the die
and providing better performance. This is
evident by the responses of overseas
customers who have used these dies for
copper, aluminium, stainless steel,
aluminium alloy, etc.
Ajex will also showcase its new in-house
models of diamond and carbide die
polishing and grinding high speed
machines and polishing accessories, a
new range of masterlube lubricants for
copper/alu/CO2, new pressure die K-340
for high and low carbon, cross heads,
buncher bow, die polishing and grinding
access.

The AWCMA – Austrian Wire and Cable
Machinery Manufacturers’ Association –
was founded in 1988 and consists of 20
member companies. All members are
continuously involved in research and
development.
AWCMA will actively take part at wire
Southeast Asia with 11 of its
member-companies present, all offering
leading technology (hardware and
software) for the economical production
of wires and cables. The Austrian Pavilion
in Bangkok, jointly organised with the
WKO (Austrian Federal Economic
Chamber), will host 12 companies in total
and at the AWCMA stand. Information on
Austrian companies and their products –
particularly of non-exhibiting member
companies – will be available.

BWE’s Conklad 315 machine is based on
the highly successful and well-proven
Conform 315 model.
The Conklad 315 is the smallest machine
in the BWE Conklad range but
incorporates many of the standard
design features found on the larger
machines, such as hydraulic shoe
opening, feedstock shear, epicyclic
gearbox and torque tube.
The Conklad 315 operates in tangential
mode, using a single infeed rod, for
cladding and sheathing operations. The
machine has been optimised for high
efficiency production of:
• Aluminium clad steel wire (AS wire)
• OPGW and CATV cables
