➣➢➣ securing large cable contracts because the aluminium sheath is ‘seamless’ (no weld) and the material costs are very low (standard aluminium rod instead of expensive aluminium sheets). This is a UK manufactured machine, speci cally designed for the HV cable industry but can be used for other applications. Cable samples and a large screen production video can be seen at the exhibition stand. BWE continues to manufacture and supply a complete range of cold welders and dies for a fast, cost-e ective and reliable solution to welding non-ferrous materials from ne wire to round rod. Conform and Conklad machines machines are assembled at BWE Shanghai Ltd under UK supervision and inspection. Once in the UK, the assembled machine is tted with a European main motor and gearbox. Final test, inspection and CE certi cation is provided in the UK.
