Technology news

Schlatter introduces the MG700 industrial mesh welding system for the competitive production of all types of standard mesh fences, including safety and security fences, dual-wire fences, privacy fences and mobile building site fences. The MG700 fence wire welding systems from Schlatter are suitable for the competitive production of dimensionally accurate meshes in small to large batch sizes. The wires can be straightened and cut in the system or fed directly from the coil. The Schlatter Group is a plant manufacturer, providing resistance welding systems for specific industrial solutions as well as weaving and finishing machines for paper machine clothing, wire cloth and mesh. MG700 for mesh fences ▲ ▲ The MG700 from Schlatter Extending the Jacketmaster range Zumbach Electronic has extended its well-proven Jacketmaster system for sector insulations and sector cable jackets with the new oscillating DVW 2 measurement device. Straight and pre-spiralled sectors, solid and stranded, aluminium and copper can be measured and controlled. Width, height and insulation thickness as well as diameter, ovality and jacket thickness can be measured and calculated at accuracies within a few 1/100mm. Two highly precise DVW 2 measurement devices dynamically capture the relevant dimensions at high rates, before and after the extrusion. With an optional third measuring head at the cold end of the line, the hot-cold shrinkage can automatically be compensated. The Jacketmaster processor works with a sophisticated software. It displays the all-important data in numerical and graphical form, monitors tolerances and controls the process for optimised thickness and material consumption. It also calculates statistics and has all necessary outputs for interfacing with external networks.
