RAD-CON supplies capital equipment and software, along with related services, to manufacturers in need of a high-quality batch annealing process that is part of their manufacturing of hot and cold reduced strip and wire metal coils. RAD-CON Inc – USA Website : www.rad-con.com Rosendahl Nextrom Stand .................................... W1D43 Rosendahl Nextrom will be displaying its manufacturing solutions for optical fibre and cable production. Expert in extrusion, corrugation, optical fibre and SZ-stranding, the company supplies high-tech process technology along with customer service in a long-term partnership. Manufacturing solutions for the production of power cables, automotive wires, LAN cables, coaxial cables, extrusion crossheads, preforms, fibre draw towers, fibre UV-coating and fibre optic cables are available from one source.

Sikora Stand .....................................W1F62 Sikora will be presenting a broad product range of innovations as well as proven technology for quality control and cost saving in wire and cable production. Purity scanner: 100 per cent pellet inspection. This will be the highlight on the stand. It is a system for the online inspection and sorting of plastic pellets used for the insulation of medium-, high- and extra-high voltage cables, but also other applications such as in the medical industry. Contaminated pellets are detected and sorted out, assuring that only pure pellets get into the extrusion process.

Headquartered in the USA and operating globally with more than 75 per cent of turnover outside the USA, RAD-CON specialises in one type of Bell-type furnace, one type of process annealing, and has very specific knowledge in spheroidising while producing a clean surface that is free of decarburisation. ❍ Bell-type furnace from RAD-CON

The pellet inspection allows the detection of organic and metallic contamination inside the pellet as well as on the pellet surface, using a special combination of X-ray technology and an optical system. The smallest detectable particle size is 50 µm at a flow rate of up to 2,000kg/h. Preheater 6000 TC: Conductor pre-heating with temperature measurement and control. This represents the optimum solution for the controlled preheating of conductors and sets the basis for the production of a broad cable type array at highest quality. The system inductively heats up the conductor to the nominal value. An infrared camera measures the wire temperature at the outlet of the Preheater wheel. A control module supervises and controls the power setting of the device with high accuracy, assuring that the conductor temperature always has the specified temperature. The Preheater 6000 TC is available in three power classes (10, 20 and 30kW) for preheating temperatures of up to 150°C (optionally 250°C), for a product diameter from 0.32 to 2.8mm. Fiber Series 6000: Quality control of optical fibres in the drawing tower. ❍ One of Sikora’s highlights at wire China, the Purity Scanner ➣➢➣

❍ The OFC 20 – 200mm furnace

On display will be the latest advancements and technology highlights, including new developments in high speeds, low voltage, medical wire through micro coax, VAD OVD preform technology, high performance draw technology and proof test and solutions for speciality fibre production.
