to 160mm and a maximum number of 5,000 twists per minute. The maximum production speed is 300m/min. The machine accommodates spools with a flange diameter of 800mm and a width of 600mm. The D 801 is part of a series of six differently sized models, available in left and right-hand versions, which cover cross sections from 0.013mm² to 50mm² and feature all the same technical advantages. Compared to conventional bunching machines, energy consumption and noise emission of the D series machines are significantly reduced due to their one-bow design. State-of-the-art three-phase drive technology and contactless machine data transfer reduce maintenance to a minimum. All production parameters are set on the machine’s touch screen display where they are clearly visible, together with service and maintenance messages. The machine, including a final capstan, controls the pre-set winding tension using a load cell in the spool carrier throughout spool filling. The driven haul-off capstan enables a continuous adjustment of the lay length and a maximum of production flexibility. The NBAT (Niehoff bunching automatic traverse), which is offered as an option on the D 801 buncher, automatically detects spool flanges and controls the traverse width of empty and full spools by means of optoelectronic sensors – automatically and perfectly, without machine operator intervention.

British company PWM, which has been at the forefront of cold welding technology for 25 years, will showcase its range of cost effective manual cold welders at wire Southeast Asia. The range includes three hand-held, portable models, ideal for repairing wire breaks quickly and efficiently in confined spaces. The compact M10, M25 and M30 machines, designed to be exceptionally comfortable to hold and extremely easy to operate using finger or hand pressure, have capacities ranging from 0.1mm to 1.8mm diameter for copper and aluminium. PWM’s BM10 and BM30 models are strong, low maintenance machines that use industry standard dies to provide a reliable weld on non-ferrous wire from 0.1mm to 1.8mm diameter. These welders can be used either mounted on a workbench or a mobile trolley. Light hand pressure on the operating lever completes the weld in seconds.

PWT Limited is a research and development business focusing on process technology for the galvanised wire industries. Its electro magnetic wiping (EMW) development is said to provide increased production efficiency, product quality and profits. After nine years of development work in a wire production plant, the Quantum-EMW system was launched onto the international market in 2003. PWT works with customers based in China, Japan, Korea and North America, and to date, 29 EMW systems have been sold worldwide, with a further four due to be installed soon in Northern China. Quantum-EMW works with varying wire diameters at various speeds to produce a smooth, concentric surface quality with a coat weight variance of about 15g/m 2 . EMW systems work with both zinc and zinc aluminium, are easily operated, simply maintained, safe and environmentally friendly. EMW can be designed onto new galvanising lines or retrofitted onto existing lines. For new galvanising lines, PWT works closely with the supplier from the early stages of a project so that the EMW system is designed specifically to suit the line arrangements and to also incorporate any particular customer requirement. Ensuring PWT engineers are present from the start guarantees a highly professional and cost-effective outcome. During the installation and commissioning process, PWT engineers fully train local operators, provide technical manuals and offer a comprehensive after-sales support package. PWT has an international network of skilled representatives to provide a fast service. Based in New Zealand, PWT has a regional office in China and will be opening an office Europe during 2009.

The versatile manual M101from PWM ▲ ▲

The largest machine to be presented at the show is the versatile manual M101. This heavy-duty cold welder, which has a capacity of 1mm to 3.6mm copper and 1mm to 5mm EC aluminium, is one of PWM’s best-selling models. Durable, simple to operate and easy to maintain – due to the low number of component parts – the M101 can be either bench or trolley-mounted for portability and convenience.
