Vitari
Booth TBA
Vitari – part of the Eurolls Group – is based
in Valbrembo, near Bergamo, and since 1925
has been designing and manufacturing
innovative machinery for the wire industry.
The company has an aptitude for the
development
of
innovative
solutions,
which are not only technological but allow
saving for the end-user.
Vitari manufactures a large number of
machines, starting from automatic wire
straightening and cutting-off machines,
to machines for manufacturing nails,
chains, chain-link fencing, barbed wire
and dress-hangers, as well as all ancillary
machines
for
the
various
indicated
productions.
Customers are well served with agents
spread throughout the world and an
efficient after-sales service.

Wafios
Booth E04
Wafios will exhibit three of its machines
in Hall 1, booth E04 at wire Russia 07.
The machines are as follows:
a CNC tube and rod bending machine
BMZ 61, which can take wire up to
13.0mm diameter and tube to 25.0mm;
a CNC coiling and bending centre
FMU 2.7 with a wire diameter in the range
of 0.8-2.5mm;
an electronic spring coiling machine
FSE 23 with a wire diameter from
0.35-1.6mm.

maximum output from a double-furnace
system increased from 30,000tpa to
40,000tpa capacity;
a new Omega-type inductor doubling
the previously available power range,
combined with a marked decrease in
specific power consumption;
a transistor converter type stepless power
control system, offering reduced specific
power consumption, increased inductor
lifetime and the elimination of harmonic
resonance effects.
These, together with a number of other new
features, will offer the operator of an Upcast®
system a marked improvement in the cost-
efficiency and reliability of the process, as well
as in the quality of the produced wire rod.

Unitek
Booth G06
Unitek is an international leader in providing
innovative
solutions
for
fixed
centre
crossheads and automatic colour change
technology for the wire and cable industry.
The company emphasises quality, productivity
and a commitment to provide the ultimate
support to the extrusion industry around
the world.
The Unitek team has a strong background
in the extrusion and cable industry and is
dedicated to providing intelligent, efficient
solutions to the problems encountered
by manufacturers. Unitek was established
in 1979, initially to serve both the plastic
processing and the cable making industry.
Since the first product line of fixed centre
crossheads, introduced in the early 80s,
Unitek has earned a name for high quality
products. Close contacts with cable makers
and machinery manufacturers all over
the world, high standards of research and
development in innovative products and their
application, and modern production facilities
for precision and quality, has been the basis
of the company’s philosophy from the start.
During the ensuing years, Unitek was highly
innovative in developing new solutions and
implemented state-of-the-art technology.

beam, the pneumatic reversal unit on the
traversing unit receives a switch-over signal.
FA is either directly mounted on the Uhing
rolling ring drive or on an intermediate
slide. The forked light barrier is mounted at
a correction angle that changes when the
traversing unit reverses.
This
compensates
for
system-inherent
switching delays. A simple relay controller
is responsible for signal processing with
constant spool speed, a PLC is used with
constant material speed and decreasing
spool speed.
The light barrier has proven to be the ideal
solution in heavily soiled environments and
where varying illumination and reflection
conditions prevail.
For application in confined spaces, in
particular for stranding machines, Uhing
is currently developing a system where a
rolling ring drive’s end stops perform an
automatic non-contact search for the correct
reversal position.
This system also allows for correction
movements during winding, for example to
adapt the pitch to bulging spool flanges or
changed spool positions.
Tensioning and clamping systems of the
Easylock type also allows brake and torque
forces to be transferred to the spool, and
U-Clip, an element for easily securing spools
on the shaft, are also shown.
In the rolling ring drives sector Uhing shows
the enhanced free movement lever for the
RG 3-30-2 MCRF as well as the new RGK 20,
the worldwide first rolling ring drive made
of plastic.

Upcast OY
Booth F13
The upward continuous Casting method
– better known as the Upcast® system
– was originally innovated and developed
by Outokumpu in the late 60s for the
production of oxygen-free (OF) copper and
copper alloys wire rod.
Since the startup of the first production unit in
1971 more than 160 other Upcast® units have
been delivered worldwide, establishing it as
the leading method in its line of production.
Today the Upcast® legacy is carried on under
the banner of Upcast OY, exhibiting its full
range of single and double-furnace casting
lines.
Several interesting new developments have
been introduced to the Upcast® system.
Among these are:
maximum output from a single-furnace
system increased from 7,500tpa to
12,000tpa capacity;
