EuroWire March 2020

wire 2020 show

30 March – 3 April

The weld-stud line from coil straightens and cuts to length, chamfers, drills, inserts aluminium ball and inspects with optional heading. The B7 stud line from bars can cut, chamfer, stamp and thread. The VAS-20-DBQL fully automatic bent bolt machine from coil will be shown in production. It manufactures U-bolts, anchor bolts and eye bolts by pulling the wire from coil, straightening it, cutting to length, threading rolls on both sides and bending to shape. The machine has been designed with an adjustable bending die, allowing the operator to produce any size of U-bolt within the machine range, while changing only the bending hammer. Typical production rates are 60 to 120 ppm. The VA-20-ES planetary thread roller with closed structure and computerised match system will also be shown in production. It is used for thread rolling pre-hardened and hard-to-feed fasteners. The machine controls the feed position and indexes the feed to a fresh start point, increasing die life. It is also equipped with Videx’s Controlled Feed system, for threading lap-free threads on any material. Other features include hydraulic clamp of the thread rolling dies and quick set-up facilities. Typical production rates are 200 to 320 ppm, with a maximum of 640 ppm. Videx Machine Engineering Ltd www.videx-machine.com Vipa and Vipa Polimeri are experienced Italian companies operating in the eld of thermoplastic compounds for the wire and cable industry. Both companies continue to expand their portfolios of compounds for wire and cable with innovative, high-performance and optimised materials. Among the latest solutions are HFFR compounds with improved thermal resistance; special HFFR compounds o ering a combination of exibility and high CPR performance; low-smoke/ ▲ Some of the many parts made on Videx machines Vipa/Vipa Polimeri Stand: 12 D14

With increasingly demanding digital applications, image presentation is critical to improving the interpretation of 3D viewing or 3D models and enhancing the user experience. Based on this new technology, the digital 3D viewing system DRV-Z1 results as a microscope version with stereo zoom. It was developed speci cally for inspection and manufacturing applications, and combines the advantages of optical stereomicroscopy and digital technology in one system. The zoom module allows a magni cation range of 6x to 93x, depending on the lens, and the digital 3D stereo image is projected onto a 400x225mm concave mirror. Users are provided with a digital stereo image in a natural 3D view with full HD resolution, enabling improved inspection quality. The ergonomic advantages of the DRV-Z1 include freedom of movement of the head, the view of the component, the comfortable working position, easy hand-to-eye coordination and the use of prescription eyewear help increase e ciency, accuracy and productivity. For organisations with a distributed o ce structure, or for customers whose supply chain network is geographically widespread, DRV-Z1’s technology drives productivity improvements and new opportunities in collaboration. A combination of natural, high-clarity 3D image presentation and 3D image capture makes it possible to share 3D images with distant colleagues through real-time digital connectivity (with appropriate bandwidth). Fields of application are electronics, precision engineering, aerospace, plastics technology, automotive and medical device technology. Vision Engineering Ltd www.visioneng.de Windak Group’s core business is to provide customers with high-speed automated cable packaging equipment. The company o ers standard and customised automatic spooling, coiling and rewinding lines with a variety of di erent options. The wire 2020 trade show will play an important role for Windak, and will o er the opportunity to interact with other industry professionals, take valuable Windak Group Stand: 10 F37
