wire 2012 It is an economical, low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wipers such as felt pads or pieces of rag. In addition, the PWW has proven successful in applying different types of lubricants and finishes. The compact design enables space-saving installation either in-line or in front of production equipment for bolts, rivets, U-shaped staples, etc.

The Eder EDDS-2 system is designed to revolutionise the rather circumstantial die-data storage, accessibility and administration for users of costly wire drawing die-tools. Using the EDDS-2 marking unit, a small, specific and continuously individual numeric alpha DataMatrix code can be marked onto the steel casings of each die in a couple of seconds, and with high precision. 100% proof of marking quality is achieved. This DataMatrix code can be easily read-out and transferred to the special software, to refer to this specific die-tool only. All property and performance data of the die can then be written into the EDDS software. Highlights of the integrated EDDS-2 dot peening solution include high precision geometrical properties (AS 9132 specifi- cation) of dots and matrix; precise dot peening mechanism with an electronically controlled peening head that grants a proper reproducible dot and DataMatrix marking onto steel die-casings; special Eder EDDS-2 software supports easy and fast data generation and administration as well as individual parameter settings for each application and work piece. The verification system is specifically designed to meet the properties (3- dimensionality) of dot-peened DataMatrix codes on metal. The system provides convenient stock analysis features for parameter set-up of new work pieces and first-article inspection. Verification results are kept in the software database, together with marked data. Images may be saved, and the operator can trace the properties of each dot and die.

Eurolls has reaffirmed its leadership in the know-how of microcassette application to various production processes obtaining for example, and guaranteeing, centesimal tolerances even on wires with diameter smaller than 1mm, demonstrating not only that cassettes technology works but that it is the Eurolls technology which works. Also in the machinery field Eurolls has stood out for innovation and new technologies. Email : office@eder-eng.com Website : www.eder-eng.com Eurolls SpA Stand: 11D40

Proof of this is the recently installed plants for the production of bead wire for tyres and the two PC strand production lines also put into operation a few months ago. In the first case (bead wire) the technological innovations introduced by Eurolls have allowed a sensible reduction in operational costs without any effect on the line speed, quality and reliability of the wire. In the second one (PC strand) two lines were built, delivered and installed a few months apart, that can reach production speed of 150m/min, a speed that is maintained during the whole period of production with no influence on quality, a true bench mark in this field. In the field of construction wire production the traditional cold rolling line for ribbed wire has gone through a redesign, and is now more compact and user friendly. Again in this field it must be noted the supply of two production lines for lattice girder to the Brazilian market, with the second one entirely built by EdB (Eurolls do Brazil), the local subsidiary of the group, is another step in the constant development and accomplishment of its presence in that market.

The programme is completed by powerful air wipes and a wide variety of spiral brushes with metal and synthetic filaments in standard sizes and custom-made versions. The GEO range of equipment consists of a complete range of ultrasonic, high pressure, spray and mechanical cleaning systems for the in-line or off-line cleaning of wire, strip, cable, tube, rod, bar and ultrasonic baths for component cleaning.

Gimax claims that it was the first company to produce a fully automated respooler, and that it has reached a level of sophistication superior to other currently available respooling solutions. The automated respooling machine does not require an operator for normal operation – everything is done by the machine itself, except for changing the bobbin on the payoff when the wire runs out. An operator can generally handle up to five of these machines, changing payoff bobbins, keeping the magazines topped up with empty spools, and helping to unload the finished spools from the storage conveyors. The machine automatically calculates the wire diameter and compensates for any tolerances in the wire diameter when precision layer respooling. Gimax Stand: 10B18

GEO-Reinigungstech- nik GmbH Stand: 11A34

GEO-Reinigungstechnik will present clean- ing systems and components for the improvement of surface quality of long products like wires, cables, strips and tubes. Priority is given in particular to wet chemical and mechanical cleaning procedures. Besides GEO’s efficient ultrasonic cleaning systems, yielding excellent surface quality even at high processing speeds, the flexible wiping system ‘Primary Wire Wipe’ will be of particular interest. The patented Primary Wire Wipe (PWW) is designed to remove visible dust and excessive lubricants from wire and strand or small strips.
