Another module for Winjet 3 software

communicate together in a sensitive and automatic multi-way interaction to form a high-density strongly adherent full-film anti-wear lubricant coat, weight-adjustable, enabling frictionless drawing benefiting from physical separation of wire-die contact in all drafts. The DCCD process revolutionises the wire drawing process. Customers target immediate total savings of 50-64 per cent in the production cost of drawn wire, in all drawing applications with virtually no speed limit, which is dictated mainly by rod pay-off and wire take-up modes. Decalub – France Email : info@decalub.com Website : www.decalub.com The Winjet3 XY software module is compatible with Leibinger Jet3 series inkjet printers. The Jetmotion works well as a portal axis and can now move not only vertically, but also horizontally in combination. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.leibinger-group.com and the labelling path with the shortest processing time is automatically selected. During the printing process, the software precisely controls the print head situated on the labelling axis as it moves across the imprinted products. This makes it possible to mark and code materials such as boards, components or packaging with multiple uses quickly and easily from left to right and top to bottom. The new Leibinger software features high storage capacity and an intuitive, user-friendly interface. A computer can be used to adapt the program effortlessly to new product ranges through the use of variable input fields. Parameters like packaging units per carton, number of products in the batch and assignment of products can be selected from a drop-down menu or entered in clearly arranged text fields. Printing and production progress are both specified in numbers as a percentage but also illustrated in a continuous bar graph. A second counter indicates how many products have already been imprinted. This allows the operator to monitor the printing or production progress from the comfort of a PC.

Paul Leibinger has added another module to its Winjet3 software for controlling multiple Jet3 inkjet printers. ‘Winjet3 XY’ is used to mark and code product ranges quickly and easily on a gantry system. This ensures a more efficient and cost-effective production process. Thanks to variable input fields, the module can be adapted to meet a variety of customer requirements. The new Winjet3 XY software module enables cost-efficient marking and coding of a wide variety of products in a gantry system. Before every new print job, Winjet3 XY automatically

Super from Sicme Sicme Italia Impianti, a manufacturer of enamelled wire machines, has introduced its latest high-technology wire enamelling machine, the Super EG.

This machine can change the way enamelled wire is produced and is the result of six years of hard work, research and development.

The prototype of this plant was on display a week after wire 2014 and during the demonstration the machine was running for aluminium wire diameter of 0.28mm at speed of 720m/minute producing excellent quality magnet wire with tan-delta 197.0/ 251.7 C, which is revolutionary for speed and quality. This would make the Super EG one of the fastest machines with 40 per cent more production capability. This super high speed and low cost production is possible by a combination of electrical energy for motive and any combustible gas like methane, propane, LPG, butane, etc, for thermal energy. Sicme Italia Impianti has already patented this technology and is in the process of obtaining safety certificates from governments of various countries.

Advertorial on behalf of Decalub Rod cleaning and coating for frictionless drawing

The dry cleaning, coating and drawing (DCCD) process offers substantial cost savings replacing conventional rod wet preparation, including acid cleaning/ rinsing/wet pre-coating and drying, by the new totally dry and green process that presents a unique combination of simplicity and effectiveness. The DCCD process is used in the most demanding H/C and L/C drawing applications from mechanically descaled bare rod, including 0.88-0.90%C, drawn directly without wet pre-coating chemicals, including spring wire, rope wire, PC strand wire, CO 2 welding wire, cold heading wire, plating wire, etc.

cost as there is no acid, no hot liquid tanks for rod pre-coating, no hot air blowers to dry wet rod, and it operates at virtually zero energy consumption. The rod moisture, the number one enemy for wire drawing, is completely eliminated. In operation, all lubrication variables

The process operates at zero maintenance
