wire 2016 show

4-8 April

A further highlight at the Koch stand will be a modern system for the continuous control of wire quality. Using acoustic emission analysis, the forming process during operation is permanently analysed. Even minor anomalies are detected, guaranteeing production quality. The high-level detection of faults, as well as the increase in manufacturing speed, are the bene ts of this technology – the use of which Koch is promoting heavily. In addition to technical highlights, for managing director Jochen Koch value orientation is also crucial for the company’s international success. “As a family-run company our work is more to us than just a business. We put great emphasis on stable relations that are based on appreciation, both with our customers and our members of sta . The fact that we strongly respect values such as fairness, reliability and integrity in our business relations is appreciated by our customers – and they also bene t, with high quality and comprehensive service.”

Automatisation important topic, especially for large diameter or high-tensile wire. The automatisation of the drawing-in process eases the work of the operator considerably. e ciency Kieselstein developed, in cooperation with an international operating company in the wire industry, a new soap supply system which will be presented at the stand in Düsseldorf. For increasing the availability of the plant, IT-based maintenance becomes more important. Demands for spare parts can be identi ed correctly, maintenance measures can be planned and down-time can be avoided. A team of specialists in IT, programmable control and machine engineering works on this in order to provide tailor-made solutions to customers. Kieselstein International GmbH – Germany Website : www.kieselstein.com is an In addition, for higher Koch’s presentation will be focused on highly developed machines and an innovative acoustic emission analysis for increasing the quality of products. The company will have a sophisticated portfolio of machines and quality- improving innovative processes on display. These include a multiple-drawing line from the KGT series as well as a wire pay-o and a spooler for the collection of the wire. The line produces steel qualities with low carbon content (0.12%) on a machine with ve drafts. In actual operation, the line is then complemented by nine drawing-blocks and includes high-quality pre-treatment of the wire. This con guration enables a drawing speed of around 50m/s.

Kurre Group Stand: 09C49

The Kurre Group has extended its product range for the wire and cable industry by establishing another company, Kurre- Kabelfertigungsmaschinen GmbH. This has led to expansion with automatic coil winders, automatic drum winders, packaging systems, and palletising systems. This also includes the established counter series, MW5, MW8 and MW10, which are licensed to MID-009 and are exclusive to Kurre-KFM. The rst project for Kurre-KFM was a rewinding line with traversing portal winders for a factory in China. This rewinding line was designed for a quality control process for products from Ø3mm to 60mm and is able to handle spools from Ø450mm to 1,600mm with a maximum weight of four tons. Tension can be applied to the product either with a dancer unit for products up to a maximum diameter of 15mm or with a torque control for products larger than 15mm. repositioning system is able place a detected failure on a de ned position.

Koch’s portfolio includes single-block machines and multiple drawing systems through to cold rolling and stretching systems. As a supplier with high service orientation, it plans, delivers and installs complete lines with all components necessary for the manufacturing of wire.

Krenn Stand: 10G66

With the acquisition of the steel cutter and testing press division from Kamax in 2015 the product range of Krenn has signi cantly expanded. For the rst time the medium-sized German company with a tradition of almost 70 years presents the high-quality hydraulic Kamax steel cutters.
