Technology to boost up-time DEM provides equipment for the production of flats and shapes made from steel, copper or aluminium; for the fabrication of cold rolled or stretched reinforcing wire; for the calibration and annealing of IT spring wire; and for the forming of cored wire. DEM also produces a high-speed shear for speeds of 5m/s for bars ≤2m (6.5ft) long, or 10m/s for longer bars. It has achieved a record of 150 cuts per minute with a length tolerance less than 1mm/m. Other technology in the company’s range includes wire weight control, to

produce wire at a lower tolerance weight, and direct wire rolling – a capstan-free line solution for easy threading with automatic roll gap positioning and decreased production changeover. DEM SpA www.demgroup.com
