16 th - 20 th April

• ETC-1/HF – efficient tungsten carbide die grinding and polishing equipment, with a large work range of between 0.7 and 20mm diameter for refurbishing the growing quantity of PCD dies in use in multi-wire drawing machines, this ultrasonic machine with two workstations has been developed. It can efficiently work all die sizes in a large range from 0.05 to 8mm diameter. It can be operated by one person, doubling output in the same time • ETC-2 LS – for sizing and polishing tungsten carbide dies in the larger bore size range of between 1 and 40mm diameter. A new, larger ETC-3L unit even works round TC dies with bigger bore sizes up to 70mm diameter • USP-Twin – particularly

Die Quip Stand: 09D06-01

The goal of making more wire per die is easily reached with a Die Quip die finishing machine. As a global manufacturer, Die Quip has established a line of machines to grind, polish and size dies in a quick, efficient, accurate process, eliminating operator error and guesswork. Better dies pull more wire, and cause fewer production problems, so Die Quip has designed stand-alone machines for finishing dies in all sizes, and for larger production runs it builds work cells to keep maximum efficiency and eliminate downtime from size changeovers.

The linear motor design is a further development of the servo-electric actuation of the drawing jaws, a design that has proved successful in more than ten machines built. In the combined drawing machines featuring the new patent-pending system, the motors control the actuation of the jaws in real time based on the contour of the drawing cam, closing and releasing the jaws as required. Jacques Paraskevas, managing director, is committed to offering customers the best solution for specific requirements: “All three drive solutions – hydraulic, servo-electric and linear motor based – have their advantages depending on the application. Therefore we will present all three of them at wire 2018: one drawing unit equipped with the new linear motors and one fitted with two drawing carriages, of which one is equipped with a servomotor and one with hydraulic cylinder. This hands-on display will allow us to discuss with the trade fair visitors in a best possible way what would be the optimal solution for their specific application.“ The linear motors can be used in the complete portfolio of combined EJP drawing machines operating with drawing forces ranging between 2 and 46 tons and producing finished bars with diameters from 2 to 60mm. ▲ With linear motors it is no longer necessary to convert the rotating movement of the actuation into a linear movement

The MGF 200 from Die Quip

The Die Quip approach to a modern die shop brings benefits to the whole production process by implementing a workflow system that sets procedures and incorporates training to maximise each machine’s capabilities. The company has designed many extensive training options and on-site consultations that teach operators how to use its equipment, how to choose diamond tooling for maximum results, and different methods of making dies. Technicians will spend time in your facility designing a programme customised to meet production needs, and will provide reference materials such as the exclusive Die Training Handbook. The company supports customers through installation, training and troubleshooting for the life of the machine. Die Quip – USA Website : www.diequip.com

EJP Maschinen GmbH Stand: 09A12

EJP will introduce the new generation of its CDS-TQ series of combined drawing machines. By using a linear motor to actuate the drawing jaws, EJP has simplified the mechanical design and the movements of the drawing jaws. Thus EJP achieves higher precision in bar, tube and profile drawing, while improving ease of operation and reducing maintenance requirements. Two years after EJP introduced drawing machines with servo-electrically actuated drawing jaws as an alternative to hydraulic actuation, the company has taken its systems to the next level. With linear motors it is no longer necessary to convert the rotating movement of the actuation into a linear movement. The advantages of this solution are no indirect transmission of forces, fewer movable parts, and higher-precision drawing of bars, tubes and profiles.

Enkotec A/S Stand: 15D13

Eder Engineering Stand: 10C42-01

Enkotec A/S will be presenting news in nail production technology. Visitors will see two running nail manufacturing lines, one of them equipped with new data surveillance features. Focus will be on Enkotec’s extensive service offerings, now including new digital services. Enkotec will have reserved areas on its stand where staff can show visitors how the company can offer help with ensuring high nail production efficiency.

Offering innovative and high value added concepts, with over 70 years of expertise in the field of reconditioning die working equipment, Eder-Austria is sustaining and developing its position across the globe and presenting its equipment. Examples of Eder machines to be seen on the stand, or on the video wall, include:
