EuroWire March 2020

wire 2020 show

30 March – 3 April

The second-hand department o ers a full choice of machines and equipment for the wire and cable industry. Queins Machines GmbH www.queins.com Rad-Con, Inc Stand: 09 D06-03 Rad-Con designs and manufactures bell-type furnaces for spheroidise annealing of wire and wire rod, for the production of cold-heading quality wires (CHQ). The company has speci c knowledge in spheroidising of alloy steel hot- rolled wire rod and drawn wires, resulting in a clean surface that is free of decarburisation.

AutoCoat both zinc and Galfan applications, and features real-time pad wipe coating measurement, individual wiping nozzle control (true closed loop), and data acquisition and networking with remote monitoring. It uses the latest generation Siemens PLC hardware, and operates in both automatic and manual modes. was engineered as an upgrade to existing high-speed zinc and Galfan process lines. It allows for the consistent production of precisely weighted metallic coated wire via independent measurement and ne-tune control. is suitable for The QED AutoCoat system

QEDWire Lines Inc Stand: 12 B11

QED Wire Lines Inc is a custom furnace manufacturer and engineering company specialising in process equipment for the steel wire industry. Its furnaces are custom built for multi-strand annealing, stress relieving, patenting and tempering processes. With over 30 years of industry experience, the company serves customers in more than 20 countries. Its patented equipment is backed by service, with commissioning and installation supervision as well as spare parts support, providing a complete package for processing wire. Equipment supplied by QED includes: • Energy-e cient uid beds, with rapid heat transfer resulting in shorter furnace length and more compact process lines • Pulse- ring mu e tube furnaces with improved thermal e ciency, increased temperature uniformity and superior convective heat-transfer • Networked panels with remote monitoring and control, programmed with user-friendly software and advanced combustion algorithms to deliver precise temperature control • Combustion technology – a patented system that maintains a steady output with precise air-gas ratio on all multiple burner furnaces • Galvanising and Galfan coating, o ering robust furnaces with new high-e ciency recuperative immersion burners • Powerful pre-cleaning with ultrasonics, incorporating new temperature and level control features with ultrasonic transducers in combination with a four-stage suction wiping system • Patented pickling – the HighTurbulence pickling system optimises uid ow turbulence to rapidly remove scale As a part of QED’s commitment to continued product development and innovation, the company will feature its latest product at wire Düsseldorf: the AutoCoat TM coat weight control system. The system can be incorporated into existing nitrogen wiping systems and o ers advantages that include coating weight precision of ±10g/m 2 ; savings in zinc or Galfan; and high-speed multiple strand analysis.

Rad-Con is headquartered in the USA and operates globally, with more than half of its turnover outside the USA over the last ten years. systems for annealing wire and wire rod, medium-carbon and alloy steels, to cold-heading quality (CHQ) speci cations. The H2SHC™ system provides a high convection to produce the uniform mechanical properties necessary for the manufacture of high quality fasteners. The proportional-pulse control system design produces a stable thermal cycle that is key to achieving 90 to 100 per cent spheroidisation, which leads to greater die life and better ow during the cold forming process. The company uses a 100 per cent hydrogen protective atmosphere, and a patented AC/APEx™ control system to ensure surface quality, free of decarburisation.

Also on show will be a number of large pictures and videos of machines delivered to the rope and cable industry. The company’s main products are high-speed stranding machines, payo s/ take-ups, taping heads, and disc- and belt-type caterpillars/capstans. Further information on the range of manufactured lines for special applications such as power transmission, steel rope and subsea cable will be available during the exhibition. ▲ PQC 2500 L belt-type capstan with 20 kN/40 kN pulling force
