EuroWire March 2020

wire 2020 show

30 March – 3 April

The new Rayex S XT will be in the spotlight, presenting a simple system to simultaneously measure wall thickness, eccentricity and diameter of cable jackets. The system features data collection, process control and visualisation capabilities, with interface options for IoT applications.

WTM’s cable taping and spinning machines, both in horizontal and in vertical con guration, combine the total control of the tension of the wrapping material with the precision of the tape deposition pitch. The company has also recently improved the performance of its high-speed taping heads with an updated design, providing accurate tension control even on at cables, using materials and technological solutions speci c to the aeronautic industry. For products that need to undergo a heat treatment or sinterisation process for the complete adhesion of the tape on the conductor, WTM o ers a range of ovens (and subsequent cooling units), including infrared and resistor ovens, as well as a molten salt bath. WTM high-speed single-twist stranding machines, even with translating reel, are designed for producing exible, high-speci cation data/communication wires and multi-core cables. The systems are completed by WTM concentric back-twist cable payo s, which feature an innovative dancer to ensure perfect tensioning and constant back-twisting. The company has also developed its own in-line inspection and quality control device. The Visio system uses – in real-time – the frames collected by high-speed industrial cameras installed after the taping process, and gives accurate indications about the cable geometry and surface quality. The Visio system is able to collect data from other dimensional measuring instruments, such as laser gauges, capacitance units and spark testers, and is provided with software for statistical process control indexes such as C P , C pk and standard deviation. WTM Srl www.wtmachinery.com Zumbach Electronic AG Stand: 11 D41 Zumbach will use wire 2020 to showcase the latest advanced non-contact measuring technologies for dimensional measurements of all type of wire and cable. Measuring solutions for cable extrusion lines, wire drawing and rolling applications will be displayed.

Woywod Kunststo maschinen Stand: 09 A42

During wire 2020, Woywod will launch the new generation of Plasticolor 3500 dosing equipment. This new modi ed generation of equipment has the advantages of fast and almost residue-free discharging through improved ow channels. Further highlights are the improved sealing, and no contamination of material mixture during change of recipe.

Zumbach will also showcase the new WST 2006FV wire preheater, which is designed to consistently preheat the wire conductor in extrusion lines for the best product and process performance. The WST 2006FV has a compact design, tting into almost any extrusion line, and a user-friendly product setting routine to simplify entering new products. Other technology to be presented on the company’s stand will include software and interface solutions ful lling Industry 4.0 requirements; new models of ODAC series diameter gauges with special beam geometry, fault detection function and high scan rate; and the advanced ODEX concentricity and diameter gauge for wire extrusion, with new local display and integrated web server capability. Also on show will be new LSV ProSpeed length and speed gauges for down-to-zero speed measurement; advanced KW fault detectors with new Visu-Touch local display unit; Rayex D series dynamic X-ray measuring and control systems for CV lines; the Pro lemaster series for non-contact pro le and shape measurement, combining laser and CCD technology for shaped wire and any other pro le; and the new DC type spark tester designed for space-restricted applications.
