Among its latest developments, the company will present the PC 1500 dosing unit with a new patent for automatic device cleaning. This degree of automation will be an advantage for many manufacturers. The current control system – developed in house – for individual volumetric dosing units will also be presented. Woywod Kunststoffmaschinen GmbH 11 D78 WTM has almost thirty years’ experience in the manufacture of cable taping machines, stranding lines, sintering ovens and camera vision systems for in line quality inspection. Its equipment is used by producers of special high performance cables for applications including aeronautical, aerospace, instrumentation, high-speed data transmission and telecommunications. The company’s taping, stranding and heat treatment lines are composed and built specifically starting from the characteristics of the final cable to be obtained. WTM says its machines offer high performances in terms of production speed, process quality, finished product and reduction of waste. At wire 2022, WTM will present its latest cable-screening machine, for the application of silver-plated copper tape in the production of high-frequency coaxial cables. The payoff unit has been integrated with a specific cable tension control system that, together with the pulling unit (capstan or caterpillar), synchronises the line speed with the taping head rotation. The process is stable and grants precise tolerances in taping pitch and angle. The machine is equipped with devices dedicated to dimensional control throughout the production phase, such as measurement of cable diameter and eccentricity before, during and after the taping process; reading of the taping pitch and angle by means of a camera for each rotation of the taping head; and monitoring of the main production parameters (cable tension, tape tension, line speed stability and precision of the various rotating devices). The parameters, along with the signals from the measurement lasers, load cells, drives, encoders and PLCs, are saved and processed online for analysing statistical index (Cpk, standard deviation) and & Co Vertriebs-KG www.woywod.de WTM Srl

machines in stock, located in over three million square feet of warehouse space, for all aspects of non-ferrous wire and cable production. During wire 2022, the company will showcase pictures, video and an interactive presentation of its inventory. Beverages and snacks will be available within the expanded lounge area. Visitors will have access to web-enabled stations for a live product search with detailed specifications and pictures.
