THE increasing demand for power, light and communication has kept wire and cable in high demand. Ajex and Turner believes this trend will continue for reliable, efficient energy and data communications, strenghtening the industry further. Considering all these special requirements, leaving behind the traditional wire drawing dies, its R&D team is working on VNT dies for better wire surfaces and energy saving. Working on zero per cent tolerance and maintenance-freeVNT dies

VNT dies provide a good solution between the economical tungsten carbide and PCD dies, which wear out quickly. The VNT dies, based on high quality carbide and having the diamond firm coating on the die surface, enable wire plants to lower the production cost and save metal as the extremely hard diamond coating gives very low friction, and the die hole size remains the same throughout its working life. A single VNT die is equivalent to 100 carbide dies and provides more than double production during its lifetime compared to a PCD die for ferrous and non-ferrous wires. Wire plants, setting the standard of wire drawing and compacting die selection, can enhance their efficiency and save production costs. Ajex dies work on zero per cent tolerance and are completely maintenance free. The VNT dies do not allow die heat up, which prevents wire breakage, as well as there being no requirement for coolant. Joining forces CommScope has partnered with Fluke Networks® to help ensure optimum fibre optic cabling performance. CommScope’s exclusive Systimax® link loss calculator will now be incorporated in Fluke Networks’ CertiFiber® Pro Optical Loss Test Set (part of the company’s Versiv™ Cabling Certification System) and the company’s LinkWare™ Live cloud service. This marks a transformational change in the certification of ultra-low-loss single-mode and high bandwidth multi-mode fibre optic network projects in data centres.
