rotors with 24 cleaning heads, and is suitable for low- or high-carbon wire, stainless steel wire, aluminium and copper. Variable wire inlet heights are possible for customer-specific solutions. The system can descale wire rod from 5.5 to 10mm, and clean wire from 2 to 10mm, with a drawing/running speed of up to 10m/sec. Benefits of the Ecoclean system include the mechanical removal of scale and oxides without any chemicals; no damage of the wire surface due to suspended rotary cleaning heads; and low wear of cleaning heads. The environmentally friendly system has low noise generation, and power consumption of 2 x 2.2 kW. Ecoclean Machinery www.ecocleanmachinery.com Eder Engineering supplies die-tool processing equipment to the inter- national wire and cable industry, and exports 98 per cent of its output worldwide, both directly and via a global network of international agencies. At wire 2020 Eder will offer a variety of the latest technological developments in drawing die-tool working machines that allow users to benefit through longer life of the dies and higher tonnage drawn; accurate reconditioning of the die; durability with minimal maintenance costs; reduction of manpower (due to the high degree of automation); easy operation; and the experience and after-sales support of Eder.

precision die-tools (standard, semi- automatic and automatic). Also on show will be the model ETC-1 HF, for working of round tungsten carbide dies; die workshop ancillary equipment; cleaning/ measuring devices and microscopes; technical assistance programmes (instal- lation, training, die-reconditioning); and die-tool working materials (diamond powders, pastes, suspensions, and grinding, sizing and measuring pins). The following experts will be at visitors’ disposal: Dr Kurt Eder, Christoph Trauner, Willi Eberhardt, Bernhard Eder, Alexandra Trauner-Eder, and international representatives. Eder Engineering GmbH www.eder-eng.com Erocarb SA, which recently marked its 40 th anniversary, has long experience in the area of extrusion crossheads and tooling for the cable and tube industry, and customers from all over the world. The extensive product catalogue can be adapted to most extrusion fields, such as insulation, sheathing/jacketing, filling-sheathing, triple-layer CV lines, flat ribbon, irrigation or medical tubes. A new product range is emerging with extrusion crossheads dedicated to LS0H/HFFR products or for high-speed production lines, such as the E8VN11, a new intermediate size crosshead.

Eurobend GmbH will demonstrate the new AKK series, a high-output flexible welding machine that eliminates all line wire de-coiling stations. The advantages of off-coil and pre-cut welding machines are combined in one machine. The AKK series machines are capable of producing large and small batch orders consecutively, without downtime.

The concept behind the AKK series allows automatic mesh spacing and dimension changes; Eurobend says that this makes it the only flexible high-production coil-fed mesh welding line, as it can produce all mesh types instantly without any adjustments. It also offers a compact system layout requiring minimal floor space requirements. There is no downtime when changing wire coils, wire diameters, wire spacing or mesh dimensions. The machines are equipped with the patented Automatic Wire Orientation System, which allows the use of a high-speed roller straightening module for line wire feeding. The AWOS absorbs all wire straightening imperfections from the roller straightener, ensuring flat mesh panels regardless of wire and straightening quality. It is fully programmable and capable of processing all types of material, smooth or ribbed. A single coil replaces all line wire de-coiling stations, and a double line and cross wire de-coiling station ensures continuous operation. Minimal stocks of wire spools and coils are required, and the necessity for a large stock of ready mesh, as in conventional welding lines, is eliminated. Multiple diameter changes during one day/shift can be achieved efficiently due to the single coil line wire feeding. ❍ Flexible welding technology from Eurobend
