➣➢➣ The furnace is directly heated. The heat is transferred into the wire by convection, at ow velocities of up to 120m/s. This provides much better energy e ciency than heating by radiation.

The line is completed with translating take-up and pay-o , allowing reduced footprint. In addition to these machines, WTM will illustrate a new line developed for the application of metallic tapes on coaxial cables suitable for high frequencies, and all its production range, together with taping lines for other applications. These include single twist bunching machines, sintering ovens, and machines for testing cables etc. WTM Srl – Italy Website : www.wtmachinery.com

The measuring data processor with touch-screen display gathers data and fully automatic quality control. In combination with ultrasonic UMAC® scanners and various ODAC® diameter measuring gauges as well as error detectors, the measuring and monitoring scale can be expanded to outside and inside diameter, statistics, SPC and processor communication. Using Zumbach’s Wallmaster measure- ment and control systems, manufacturers can economise their expenditure of raw materials. The ROI is achieved within a few months. The use of these systems also allows a considerable reduction in start-up time. The novel construction (patent pending) of new ultrasonic scanners is going to be one of the exhibition’s highlights: the transducers can be either individually or simultaneously adjusted to the best possible measuring position within seconds. The scanners cover an outside diameter up to 180mm and represent a smart and simple solution for full non-contact, in-line eccentricity and wall thickness measurement of cable jackets, tubes and hoses. Complete line of measurement and control equipment for any online and manufacturing process, includes: • New one, two and three-axis diameter high precision gauges form part of the well-known ODAC® series for any wire and cable. New models are available with special beam geometry, fault detection function and high scan rate. • The advanced ODEX® concentricity and diameter gauge for wire extrusion. Fully non-contact, based on magnetic and laser technology • New LSV length and speed gauges, down to zero speed measurement • New and state-of-the-art spark tester AC and DST systems • Advanced KW fault detectors with new local BAE control and display unit • New economic, modular high performance USYS IPC data acquisition, processing and display units • Rayex® D series: Zumbach’s X-ray measuring and control system for CV lines, for wall thickness (three layers), eccentricity and diameter/ovality for CV lines • Pro lemaster® PMM 30/50/80 series: High-end non-contact pro le and shape measurement, combining laser and CCD technology for shaped wire and any other pro le.

Witels-Albert Stand: 09E37

Witels-Albert will be presenting both new and eld-proven solutions from its range of straightener, roll, guide, feed and pre-former products. The company will turn the spotlight onto engineering solutions for straightening applications and the feeding of process materials. The show also gives visitors the opportunity to learn more about the latest ideas from the world of wire, tube, rope and cable production and to familiarise themselves with the services that Witels-Albert can o er.

Zumbach Stand: 11D43

Novel, cost-e cient solutions for in-line measurement and control of wires and cables are going to be the focus of Zumbach’s stand at wire 2014. New linear sensor technology allows cost-e ective, synchronous multi-axis measurement of diameter and ovality in any cable, tube and hose extrusion process. intelligent and

WTM Stand: 11E77

WTM will show all visitors the results of its most recent research. Inspired by the direct experience and the production needs of customers, new solutions have been developed by its engineers for enhancing the production performance and possibilities of its taping equipment. In particular, on display will be: • A working horizontal line with two taping modules wrapping polyimide +PTFE, typical application for aerospace cables. They will be equipped with new 150mm and 200mm taping heads for cross wound spools, that can run up to 3,000rpm, tted with a high sensitivity tape tension control. These heads are also suitable for any other kind of tape. For the quality control on the taping process, the Visio System will be installed and working. • A working vertical taping line suitable for a revolutionary mica tape, an innovative tape for the production of re resistant and re retardant cables. The advantages of this new technology are no tape- icking e ect, reduced quantity of tape needed, increased production e ciency in the following extrusion process and smaller thickness of the required external insulating material; all this resulting in a greater e ciency in the cable installation.

▲ MSD – one of the new series of diameter and ovality measuring heads based on linear sensor technology Unique measurement technology for products up to 200mm outside diameter: • A new product line with two-coloured LED light sources allowing simultaneous scanning in each axis (XY) and thus trouble-free measurement even with product vibration. This new concept allows even a four-axis measurement of products up to 54mm diameter • Integrated extraneous light lters prevent occurrence of measurement errors that to date seemed unavoidable • Perfect performance even with re ective surfaces thanks to the use of di erent colour lighting for each measurement axis The versatile high-tech ultrasonic system Wallmaster o ers application-speci c solutions for measuring and monitoring wall thickness.
