the Bihlerplanning web app, to the production of the components. With integrated features for recording measured values and production data, the system is a self-regulating, self-controlling unit including control loops. Continuous monitoring allows trouble-free ow production from raw material to installation-ready products with constant product quality. The high degree of digitisation of the Bihler machine also enables easy networking and integration into intelligent production environments. Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG www.bihler.de

The company’s in- eld engineers and experienced R&D team work closely with customers to fully understand each application’s technical requirements. Blachford is dedicated in its commitment to ISO 9001-approved product quality. Company owner Dr John Blachford is known throughout the chemical industry for his promotion of Responsible Care and the necessity for companies to act as responsible corporate citizens. In 2018, Blachford began to sell a new line of borax-free and borax-boosting pre-coats for ferrous wire. One of its newest products, Chemdraw BSS-300, is a non-reactive pre-coat, intended to replace zinc-phosphate coatings. At the most recent Atlanta Interwire show in May 2019, Blachford and Metalube UK announced an agreement that permits Blachford to distribute Metalube’s line of copper and aluminium wet wire drawing lubricants in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

➣➢➣ mechanical stripping of the coating with minimal cross-sectional losses, simultaneous chamfering of the pin ends, pre-bending and 3D die bending, through to the nal measurement of the component geometry and inline readjustment. Variant changes take place ‘on the y’. Depending on the variant, the wire cross-section and the pin length, the output is between 60 and 120 hairpins per minute. The cycle speed is therefore around three times higher than with sequential systems, making the Bimeric suitable for industrial production. Additional bending machines, cost-intensive peripheral equipment and space requirements can be reduced by using this complete system. Bihler will also present the production of a wire bending part on the GRM-NC servo stamping and forming machine with a radial Leantool bending tool. The Leantool radial system is suited to the simple and fast development of new modular bending tools for stamped and formed parts and wire bending parts. The system is fully digitised: from the planning and quotation stage with
