Customised metal wire meets precise design requirements

CUSTOM-manufactured composite clad metal wire that can combine up to three alloys and metals to achieve properties that match precise design requirements has been introduced by Anomet Products of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, USA. Anomet composite clad metal wire features up to three alloys and metals metallurgically bonded to achieve specific characteristics and meet precise design requirements. Typical applications include gold clad copper for high reliability, platinum clad molybdenum for corrosion- resistance at temperatures to 1,250°C, and platinum clad tantalum for biocompatibility. Available as wire, rod and strip, the wire typically incorporates two per cent or more cladding thickness and can be supplied in sizes from 0.05 to 10mm OD, and as ribbon up to 25mm wide that will not crack or flake. Precious metals can be clad to core materials such as stainless steel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper and nickel-iron.

LUKAS Anlagenbau GmbH, a family owned manu- facturer from Bavaria/Germany, founded in 1959, is producing customer specific equipment for the wire and cable industry. Our focus is on complete taping lines with taping materials like e.g. PTFE, Kapton, Mica, paper or metal. Also for producing special cables for medical, aircraft or power applications our taping lines can be found at the company premises of many well known suppliers worldwide. Furthermore our product range covers single components like pay-offs, capstans, caterpillars, sintering ovens and take-ups, up to complete rewinding lines and fine wire drawing lines for non-ferrous materials. At Wire Show Duesseldorf 2018, We welcome you to our booth, no. 12 B 22.

At Wire Show Duesseldorf 2018, a horizontal Taping Machine will be exhibited. With a new drive concept, Lukas ensures a further improvement of quality in the taping technology. A hollow shaft drive together with a lightweighted carbon head improves the running qualities in a way that the production speed can be significantly increased and frictional wear is reduced. Additionally, the design of our components has been revised for easier handling and better serviceability. We are looking forward to meeting our long-standing customers as well as many new interested visitors and we welcome you to booth no. 12B22.
