production of wire, the redesign also led to the introduction of a range of TRD dry drawing equipment, available with vertically or horizontally mounted capstans – non-slip (with independently driven capstans), tilted horizontal capstans, rotating dies, water-cooled capstans, etc. The capstan diameter can vary from 300mm to 1,200mm depending on the application and diameter of wire, and can reach a line speed of 35ms/second. In non-ferrous applications (aluminium), the drawbenches are often used in combination with shaving or other equipment. Gimax also manufactures fully automatic and semi-automatic respooling machines and a full range of no-twist after packing units. Gimax Srl – Italy Website : www.gimaxgroup.com

as perfect alignment of wire between die and capstan as well as low energy consumption due to an electronic control of motor and line operation go to ensure an advanced drawing solution.

GIMAX – which will be exhibiting at Iran Wire in December – has redesigned its wet drawing equipment, and the traditional submerged drawing tank has evolved into the TRS range of non-slip wet drawing units with independently driven vertical capstans, combining most of the benefits of a dry drawing line with a wet one. The TRS is a spray type wet drawbench, where the lubricant is sprayed onto the die and die box and onto the capstan. This range is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous wires and its reduced footprint, easily accessible parts and components not only offer cost savings in terms of floor space and labour (operation and maintenance), but are an important aid in decreasing downtime and consequently increasing productivity. High productivity and a better final wire quality coupled with features such Quality aluminium alloys The company helps ensure quality with its fully equipped die room where its dedicated staff research ways to create and maintain die angles and bearing lengths to increase wire performance. This results in improvements such as reduction of residual stress and tight diameter tolerance control. The company’s fully fledged technical team can study the problems encountered by downstream manufacturers and provide solutions to operational problems. • Isinox Metaltec manufactures high quality aluminium alloy wire in grades: 5019, 5050, 5052, 5056, 5154, 5356, 5754, 6101 and 6202.

The main features are:

Reduced die and capstan wear

• Mechanical line speed reaches 33m/ second • Fixed or rotating dies • Rotating die speed varies in proportion to line speed • Each block can be bypassed • Synchronisation by means of dancer arm • Input wire diameter starts at 2mm (steel wire) or 3mm with wire aluminium wire With 38 years of experience in welding wire machinery and with the specific experience of Gimax engineers in the

Isinox’s main applications are flexible coaxial cable, a variety of audio and video cable, vehicle signal cable, network cable, data transmission cables, etc.

Al-Mg alloy wire 5154 can be used in the above cable, as well as cable conductors, braiding and shielding, single wire conductor and other conductors. The wire is applicable to a variety of electronic components, lead wire such as capacitors, resistors, clips, staples for staplers, paperclips, etc.
