The group also deals in secondhand machines; Gauder has over one thousand machines ready for delivery. Gauder Group Inc has been established in the USA since 1992 and covers the North American market for all group products, using the resources of the group to react as fast as possible to the customer demands. The North Carolina facilities include a demonstration and testing area available to set up new machines for evaluation and trials with customers’ own products as well as a stock of bows and spare parts. Rotating machines for communication and power cables, used equipment for wire and cables works, high technology bows, spare parts for lean tuning and all new and resale equipment possibilities and services can be demonstrated using the Gauder Group Explorer – dedicated software specially developed by the group and shown on a wide plasma screen. Gimax will be exhibiting a selection of its respooling machines and drum packers. Visitors to the stand will see the fully digital Robobina, a totally automatic respooling line for welding wire, designed to run solid and tubular wire on plastic or fibre spools as well as on wire baskets. With 18 years of history, the Robobina is believed the most advanced automated respooling line available on the market and can run at speeds in excess of 35m/ sec (6,900ft/min) and does not require the presence of an operator during normal operation (one operator or supervisor can control up to five machines). The new model INF-4 drum packer will be another highlight of the stand – the Gimax line to coil wire into ‘no twist’ drums is among the most compact machines on the market, but the main feature is its line speed. The drum packer is capable of running with MIG welding wire at a speed of 30m/ sec (6,000ft/min). This same machine has also been supplied to handle steel flux cored wire, 5356 aluminium, stainless steel and CuSi brazing wire. Drum sizes can even reach the large 1,000kg/2,200lb drums.

The Polidigital will also be present in two examples; the new compact version of the fully digital semi-automatic respooler with a greatly reduced footprint, and also the ‘Coil’ version. The ‘Coil’ can handle almost all types and sizes of spools, coils and wire, and is said to represent the maximum in flexibility that the market can offer. The new REV-1 will also be exhibited – the new fully automated machine to respool (random and precision layer) wire onto small plastic spools. The machine can produce two spools per minute – the spools generally hold 1lb of aluminium wire, or 2lb of steel wire. The machine will be in operation during the show for a full demonstration.
