EuroWire March 2016

wire 2016 show

4-8 April

• Heavy duty wire preheaters for conductors up to 35mm² • EU directive 2004/22/EC legal metrology compliant wire and cable length measuring systems • A new range of mini-diameter gauges with 20,000 scans/second measuring speed Proton Products – UK Website : www.protonproducts.com

range of manual cold welders for wire sizes 0.1mm to 5mm (0.0039" to 0.197"). This includes lightweight hand-held machines, as well as larger portable models, which can be used on a workbench or with a trolley. PWM cold welding equipment is made to high quality standards by skilled technicians in PWM’s own UK workshops. Dies are individually hand-made in matched sets, in standard or custom sizes, to suit round or pro le wire. PWM Ltd – UK Website : www.pwmltd.co.uk Q8Oils sta will be on hand to discuss its many recently launched products and service-led initiatives available for the worldwide wire, tube and cable market. These are speci cally developed to reduce manufacturing costs and increase productivity. Q8Oils is a European developer, manu- facturer and supplier of a comprehensive range of lubricants for the metal industry, lubricants for the drawing, rolling and forming applications of wire, rod, bar, tube and strip. The specialist range is developed for the metal manufacturing processes of copper, brass, phosphor bronze, aluminium, aluminium alloy, plated metal, precious metals and stainless steel. Q8Oils is committed to the worldwide wire and tube market with sales in over 85 countries worldwide from the Americas to Asia. Complementing the existing Priamus, Wirol and Aludra ranges are four new wire-drawing lubricants which utilise the latest additive technology to provide enhanced lubrication and meet the latest worldwide environmental legislation. • Conductor Grease prevents corrosion of overhead line conductors made from aluminium, aluminium alloy, steel or multi-metal wires, and is a cold applied product meeting IEC 61394:2011, EN50326:2002 type 20 A 150 and type 40 A 125. Increasing the Tantaroll range there are new environmentally friendly products for stainless steel ne wire drawing applications, in the selected viscosities of 6, 10, 15, 28 and 36 centistokes. These new product lines complement the existing and widely sold product range for the drawing and rolling of copper and aluminium alloys as well as the extensive Q8Oils metal manufacturing product range and services.

voltage, overhead cable (including new development with various shaped wires) and insulated cable, AC type (using high quality Milliken conductor) or DC type (using large round compacted cross sections). Pourtier has recently made achievements in the eld of submarine and umbilical cables with the supply of large armouring lines and laying-up lines. The company is continuously extending its range of machinery to meet customers’ needs. Leaders in rotating machines, Pourtier and Setic (also a member of the Gauder Group), are o ering a wide range of twisting/stranding solutions to cable makers and steel rope producers. On display on the stand will be a tubular strander module for power cable and steel rope. Pourtier – France Website : www.pourtier-setic.com

PWM Stand: 09B41

PWM will introduce two new cold pressure welders: the ST40 for welding strip, and the HP180T for joining ne/medium wire. The new ST40 air/hydraulic strip welder has been developed speci cally for joining non-ferrous strip and tape used on armouring lines. The machine, designed to cold weld strip and tape with a maximum width of 45mm (1.772") and a maximum cross sectional area of 33mm² (0.0514 square inch), produces reliable bonds stronger than the parent material without loss of electrical integrity.

Proton Products Stand: 11D77

Proton Products will exhibit its core product range comprising dual and three plane “superfast” diameter gauges, spark testers, capacitance monitors, lump and neckdown detectors, non-contact wire/ cable length gauges and the range of wire induction preheaters.

The ST40 cold welder for strip and tape

No set up time is required and, like all PWM welders, the ST40 is low maintenance, simple and cost e ective to operate. Mounted on a trolley, the ST40 can be wheeled easily to the work area, saving e ort and reducing downtime. The new HP180T air/hydraulic cold welder for wire 0.3mm to 1.8mm (0.0118" to 0.071") is a versatile machine supplied on a trolley. It can be handheld (within the limit of the air supply pipe) if required. Quick and easy to use, the HP180T enables the operator to produce strong, consistent welds without e ort. An alternative version of the machine (the HP180CP) can be supplied with its air/hydraulic booster in a carry pack, making the unit completely portable. Also on show will be PWM’s powerful, energy-e cient electro/pneumatic and electro/hydraulic rod welders for joining large rod sections from 5mm to 30mm (0.197" to 1.181"), and its comprehensive

New this year will be: • inteliTHERM™, a new non-contact wire temperature measuring system available on all Proton preheaters and retro t-able to other wire preheaters ▲ Heavy duty wire preheater PH450-34-400 from Proton Products
