every machine. Extensive in-house develop- ment guarantees the latest production technology in various fields of application.

The machine incorporates a wire feed unit for the crosswires and a frame magazine, which can be loaded directly from any umw- 65 model or manually by hand. All ultimat models feature a ‘closed die’ forming and cutting system, giving a high quality square, burr free cut and butt weld. Options include a secondary bend head for high speed production of complex wire forms and automatic part unloading systems, tooling for flat and shaped wire, as well as round wire.

Among these are: Output from the single- furnace system extended up to 12,000tpa capacity; output from double furnace system extended up to 40,000tpa capacity; a new double-loop type inductor doubling the available power range together 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; a ‘universal’ type coiler handling a wide range of rod sizes. These, together with a number of other new features to be presented, will offer the user of an Upcast® system improved economics and reliability without compromising the all- important rod quality.

Uhing has developed the AVS traversing width controller that, without using any interference-prone optical sensors, auto- matically corrects winding flaws in the particularly critical reversing area operating. The traversing system used is the well-known Uhing rolling ring drive featuring pneumatically controlled reversing triggered by a controller. As soon as the AVS detects a dent or bulge in the reversal area, it stores the traversing system position and the type of flaw. In the next traversing strokes, the controller will correct this flaw by adapting the traversing width. The result is an optimally wound coil that can be further processed without problems. The AVS traversing width controller stores parameters for up to 10 different coil types. It is suited for coils with straight or conical flanges and cylindrical or conical cores. Uhing will showcase the newly developed sizes ELIII 10-22 of the Easylock fast-action clamping system that allows high torques to be transferred to coils and foil rolls on plain shafts. The customer can now choose from lighter and more ergonomic clamping modules in the 10-30mm diameter range. As a novelty in the rolling ring drive sector, Uhing also presents the RGK 15, an attractively priced rolling ring drive specially suited for simple winding tasks.

Ultimation Machines Ltd 11 G28

Since the start-up of the first production line in 1971 more than 170 other Upcast® units have been delivered worldwide, establishing itself as the leading production method in its line of business. Today the Upcast® legacy is carried on under the banner of a new independent company, Upcast OY, who will exhibit its full range of single and double furnace casting lines. Several interesting, new developments have been introduced to the Upcast® system. Full range of single and double casting lines from Upcast ▲

Ultimation Machines will be displaying the latest developments in the range of two axis wire forming machines, suitable for the manufacture of supermarket shelving, and point of purchase displays. The latest models include the umw-65 2 axis wire forming and welding machine, suitable for a range of 2.00–8.00mm. Also on display will be the ucw-65 automatic cross wire welding machine, designed for the automatic welding of cross support wires into frames used in the manufacture of refrigerator/oven shelves and air filter frames.
