It is designed with a user-friendly operator interface, accepts a range of inputs, and provides highly exible communications such as RS-232, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, Pro bus and Pro net.

AIM Inc Stand: W1F04

AIM will be presenting the AFC Compact 3D Bender. The AFC 6 has been growing in popularity due to the small investment, versatility, small footprint and low-cost maintenance. The AFC Compact enables smaller companies to bring in automation and larger ones to o set current capacity.

Excess Fiber Length (EFL) measurement system. The latest EFL measurement system enables manufacturers to e ciently, accurately and reliably produce loose tube bre and bre ribbon cable. It does this by e ectively controlling the excess bre length to make sure the bre-to-jacket ratio of product meets exact production speci cations. This eliminates time-consuming and costly techniques such as cutting cable, and exposing and cleaning cable bres to measure product and calculate the excess bre length-to-jacket ratio. The EFL measurement system integrates Beta LaserMike’s LaserSpeed® length and speed gauges and EFLTrak™ software. DCM bench-top LAN/data cable testing systems. In addition, Beta LaserMike will introduce its new DCM SCS-700 and ES-2G automated testing systems for four-pair LAN/data cables. These systems enable cable makers to test more cable, faster, with higher quality results. The DCM SCS-700 tests Cat 5e/6/6a cables to 700 MHz and o ers a low-frequency option to test cables down to 100 Hz. Dual-frequency testing can be performed with a single connection to signi cantly reduce set-up and testing time. The DCM ES-2G tests Cat 5/6/6a/7/7a/8 cables to 2.2 GHz. A new technology eliminates the e ect of jacket removal on re ection measurements, such as input impedance and return loss. Both the DCM SCS-700 and ES-2G systems are engineered with an automated four-pair switching platform, enabling a cable test in less than three minutes. Both systems include easy-to-use testing software with complete test management and reporting capabilities. Application specialists will also be available to discuss the following

A standard one-year warranty, slip ring technology, DXF/XYZ importation, anima- tion simulator and ease of programming are a few of the features of the AFC Series machines. In addition, robotics, external chamfering and other ancillary devices can be integrated. Upgraded and updated 2D and 3D CNC wire bending solutions, single and double bending head machines with Fanuc robotics integration and complete automated systems all form part of the bender. In all instances, wire can be fed directly from a coil, straightened, bent and cut using a software package that provides exibility and simplicity in programming and is o ered in all universal languages. AIMMachines – USA Website : www.aimmachines.com Headquartered in France, Ballo et has been manufacturing dies since 1870 and has three subsidiary companies in the USA, UK and Germany, as well as a worldwide network of agents. The company has maintained all its die production in Europe. The company produces natural dia- mond dies from 6µ to 3mm, synthetic mono-crystalline dies from 6µ to 1mm, poly-crystalline (PCD) dies from 50µ to 30mm, compacting, stranding and special shaped dies, enamelling guides, extrusion tooling (guides and dies), special tooling with diamond inserts and repolishing machines and equipment.

Beta LaserMike will debut several new o erings for in-process dimensional moni- toring and control and automated quality cable testing at this year’s wire China. The company’s new lineup includes: Ultra-Fast AccuScan 5000 series diameter gauges. These dual-axis gauges perform high-speed diameter and ovality measurements at 2,400 scans per second per axis and are claimed to provide the highest single-scan accuracy in the industry. The improvements in the single-scan calibration algorithm ensure each scan is highly accurate and reliable. The high-speed tolerance checking option permits the early and precise detection of lumps and necks to eliminate costly product waste. The STAC (stranded, twisted, armoured and corrugated) logic software option provides accurate maximum/minimum OD or enveloped readings at a higher rate, allowing for faster process control of complex cable constructions. AccuScan gauges e ectively measure transparent, translucent and opaque products up to 80mm in diameter. All gauges o er highly exible communications including RS-232, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, DeviceNet, Pro bus, Pro net, CANOpen, analogue and digital. LN3040 3-Axis lump and neck detector. The new LN3040 quickly and reliably spots product aws before they become costly production problems. Fast-sensing and processing technology instantly detects sudden changes in the product diameter to e ectively catch the smallest of aws. The LN3040 measures product diameters up to 40mm and detects aw height down to 0.05mm at line speeds up to 3,000m/min.
