IWCS/Focus 2008 9-12 November

Options are available for monitoring other variables, such as pressures, temperatures, loads or speeds, to provide a complete view of the process, identify problems and to facilitate improvements. Systems are available in a variety of configurations and sizes, with laser scan micrometers of one, two, and three axes, plus a new ultrasonic wall thickness measurement device, the UltraGauge+. LaserLinc’s line of scanners covers a wide range of product diameters, from 0.035um (0.0014") to 120mm (4.7"), and includes very compact models and the highest measurement rates available. Split transmitter/receivermodelsofferflexibility andprecisionformulti-strandapplications, and the three-axis Triton series provides accurate ovality measurement regardless of product orientation. With UltraGauge+, wall thickness can be measured at up to eight positions with over 2,000 measurements per second.

Booth 407 At booth 407, Lloyd & Bouvier will display a shaftless take-up in a traversing reel design with pneumatic reel lifting. The 36" unit is fabricated new from 2"x 4" steel box tubing. Manual pintles are easily adjustable, allowing for various reel widths. Take-up is driven by AC variable speed motors and drives, and controlled by a pneumatically loaded catinary arm dancer with reducer for controlling product tension and take-up reel speed. Other sizes are available to fit various customer requirements.

and simple to operate. Welding capacities range from 0.1mm to 1.8mm (0.0039" to 0.071") diameter copper/aluminium wire. The bench-mounted BM10 and BM30 models will also weld most non-ferrous materials within the range 0.1mm to 1.8mm (0.0039" to 0.071"). Both machines are robust and easy to maintain, due to the low number of component parts. The largest manually operated cold welder on show, the M101 model, is a strong, heavy-duty machine which can be either bench or trolley-mounted to enable the operator to take the machine to the weld area. One of PWM’s best-selling machines, the M101 has a capacity of 1mm to 3.6mm (0.039" to 0.041") diameter copper and 1mm to 5mm (0.039" to 0.197") EC aluminium.

MGS Manufacturing Inc (The MGS Group-MGS-Hall- Northampton). ....Booth 115 The MGS Group, consisting of MGS Manufacturing, Hall Industries and Northampton Machinery Co, is an inter- national supplier of automation and technology solutions for product handling and twisting systems.

Booth 112 PWM will be exhibiting its manually operated cold pressure welders at the IWCS Focus Conference 2008 exhibition in Rhode Island. The machines will be exhibited by Amaral AutomotiveAssociates (booth 112), PWM’s exclusive distributor in the United States and Canada. PWM’s selection of manually operated cold welders includes hand-held, bench and trolley-mounted machines. Clean, ‘green’, and easy to use, all PWM welders use the multiple upset technique to create a reliable, permanent bond on non-ferrous wire and strip. Ideal for welding fine wire quickly and economically, PWM’s hand-held M10, M25 and M30 models are comfortable to hold Email : sales@mgshall.com Website : www.mgshall.com

PWM’s full range also includes air/ hydraulic, electro/hydraulic pneumatic and electro/pneumatic machines, with capacities up to 25mm (0.984") copper and 30mm (1.181") aluminium.
