Queins and Stolberger KMB Stand .....................................W1F58 Queins Machines GmbH will be attending with its sister company, Stolberger KMB Maschinenfabrik GmbH. On the joint booth there will be large pictures of the machines on display, as well as a movie showing them in operation. Since the 1970s Queins has supplied machinery to customers in the cable, rope and umbilical industry worldwide, while Stolberger has been in operation since the 1950s. Besides the standard machines for the production of cables and ropes, Queins and Stolberger also supply huge production lines for special industries like the offshore or transformer industry. Both companies offer a wide range of modern rigid, planetary, skip-type and tubular stranders, machines for the production of off-shore and umbilical cables, continuously transposed con- ductors (CTC) as well as disc- and caterpillar-capstans, taping machines and all types of pay-offs and take-ups.

❍ The DM 1 from OEG

The image processing system provides the advantage of a live-image of the specimen always being displayed on the computer monitor. Any dust particles or contaminations, which distort the measuring result, can be recognised immediately. The software offers several operator levels. Each level is adapted to special tasks in the drawing die management. The measuring results can be either printed directly as protocol or exported to other applications in different ways. The software was developed to be used in connection with usual touch-screen displays. For the measurement of wire diameters a special adapter is available, which can be used in connection with the drawing die adapter. Therefore, the change between both measuring functions is very easy. The measuring range for inside and outside diameter is currently from 25µm to 10mm. Smaller or larger diameters can be measured on enquiry with special optics. The DM 1 provides high measuring accuracy and short measuring times. Because of the additional wire measuring function, a second gauge for this application is not necessary. OEG GmbH – Germany Website : www.oeggmbh.com
