CMS for inspection (CMS) supplies a full range of eddy current and ultrasonic inspection systems for the wire and cable sector, especially for wires, bars and automotive parts. The CMS range meets quality standards including API, ASTM, DIN and can be used on-line and off-line for all test tasks from the simplest to the most complicated applications. The CMS brand Eddyscan® for eddy current and UT Scan for ultrasound offers a complete family to cover all kinds of applications. The family is growing with the recent launching of the new Zet@ Master for eddy current. One of the smallest instruments on the market, Zet@Master features include: multi-channels, multi-frequencies, frequency range from 10Hz to 10MHz, supervision system, which allows Engineering Automazione Flessibile Srl (EFAF) is experienced in automation and automatic machinery, with a broad range of coiling machines, both fully and semi-automatic. The automatic series includes the Mautomatic 260 Evolution, 350, 400, 500, 600 and 600/R for bare copper cable, covering sizes from 0.5mm 2 to 120mm 2 and with a choice of packaging. The 350 range has been increased to handle 0.5mm 2 up to 10mm 2 for a single conductor and up to 10.6mm 2 for a multi-conductor and is capable of winding flat cable to different dimensions. Productivity is around 5.5 x 100m coils per minute. The line is designed to be flexible, with a choice of two inner diameters and many options for packaging including 25m, 50m or 100m lengths. The semi-automatic MAC series has been extended with a smaller coiler, the MAC260. This coiler is designed for companies requiring smaller packs and lower volume. One possible composition of this line consists of flyer payoff, cable tensioning device, instruments to check the cable quality, the coiler MAC 260 and, to pack the coil, either a semi-automatic or automatic strapping machine, and at the end a simple thermo-shrinking oven.

This would be capable of handling cable from 0.5mm 2 to 6mm 2 , at speeds of up to 2.5 x 100m coils per minute. Other coilers in the MAC series are MAC400 and MAC500 for cable up to a diameter of 17mm and a cross section of 35mm 2 . Companies needing to pack cable in coil and spool may choose the B-MAC series, designed to package many different types of cables in coils and spools. The machines for spools are MAB350 and MAB630. The range of cable starts from 1mm 2 up to 25mm 2 , and packaging can be done with stretch film, auto-gluing film or LPDE foil. Series AVP and AVPD address the need to pack the cable directly onto reels with dimensions from 400mm up to 1,250mm in fully automatic mode, or up to 1,600mm in semi-automatic mode. The cable range for this type of machine is 1mm 2 up to 95mm 2 , and the packaging options are the same as with the MAB spooling line series. An automatic palletising line can be installed with either type of line. Engineering Future Automazione With this portfolio of instruments and a complete range of accessories, the user can find a cost-effective solution to any inspection need. Also available are magnetising and demagnetising units, standard or customised coils, and a wider range of rotating heads to inspect longitudinal defects on wires and bars. Six different sizes are available, with diameters of 2mm up to 220mm.
