elastomers,

The inspection is carried out with a helical pitch and the results are displayed in real time on the instrument screen. CMS also offers a wide range of RotoETscan equipment for the inspection of larger circular parts such as tubes and bars made of ferrous or non ferrous materials. The company’s coil support ensures accurate positioning of encircling coils for the detection of surface and subsurface short and transverse defects on non-magnetic products such as wires, tubes and bars. The coil support can perform inspection on products with diameters ranging from 0.1 to 230mm (0.004 to 9"). In case of flaw detection, the coil’s impedance varies. The results are displayed live in a time-based and/or a Lissajous figure. CMS designs and manufactures its own eddy current probes in-house, providing the flexibility to tailor them according to customers’ specific needs. Controle Mesure Systemes www.cmseddyscan.com 09 A12 The three EJP companies – EJP Machines, EJP Wire Technology and EJP Tosca Shot Blasting Plants – will be showing their products at a joint stand. With the recent addition of wire drawing lines to the product portfolio, EJP can now supply the full range of production and processing machinery, from the forming stage to surface finishing, for wire, bar, tubes and sections, from a single source. The products shown at the trade fair will include a peeling line from EJP Machines operating in combination with a new band grinding machine from EJP Wire Technology that produces peeled wire of premium surface quality. A further benefit of the combined machine is its compact design. The original focus of EJP Wire Technology, which was founded in 2020 in the German town of Schwerte, was on equipment for wire pre-treatment, but the company also supplies complete wire drawing lines. The design of the new product line shown at the trade fair is based on the EJP engineers’ experience in the wire industry. The group’s machines and systems made in Germany cover the complete process chains in wire, bar, tube and section making. EJP Maschinen GmbH

among others.

From a technical support standpoint, the company houses a laboratory that includes various analytical testing capabilities and pilot-scale production equipment. These resources allow ECC staff to complete research and material evaluation to continuously develop solutions in the field of rubber and plastics technology. Experienced chemists and technicians provide customers with timely technical assistance, and lab personnel also focus on design and development of custom compounds to meet specific customer needs and applications. ECC will be present at wire Düsseldorf 2024 to meet, by appointment, at the International Lounge or at other locations on the exhibition floor. Interested parties can contact Kenneth Doyle at +1 203 514 8122 or kdoyle@ eccompounds.com. Electric Cable Compounds, Inc www.electriccablecompounds.com Enkotec A/S 16 D40 One of the greatest annoyances for nail producers is downtime – from box changes to locating and fixing issues. The traditional solution has been to hire skilled operators and mechanics, but the industry is currently facing a shortage of workers. The team at Enkotec has created a solution that both minimises downtime and reduces labour intensity. The latest version of the ENKOline will be presented at wire 2024.

A pull-in gripper, moved by ball screw, pulls in the wire, which is then taken over by the chaintrack drawing system EJP Machines will also be showing its range of systems for all production steps from input stock handling, wire drawing, peeling and straightening, through to quality control and the storage of the finished long products. EJP Tosca will be showcasing shot blasting machines for wire and other long products. One of the machines displayed will be the TS-CV shot-blasting machine for in-line mechanical wire surface cleaning and roughening. Three or more turbines are arranged around the wire to remove scale and oxidic layers from the wire surface by means of metallic abrasives. Electric Cable Compounds, Inc TBC Electric Cable Compounds, Inc (ECC) is a privately owned and operated global producer of high-performance rubber and plastic compounds. Since 1988, it has provided polymeric solutions to the wire and cable industry, and offers its own proprietary product line as well as custom mixing services. Examples of materials produced include elastomeric and polyolefin-based cross linkable and thermoplastic compounds that exhibit a combination of flexibility, electrical performance, ageing stability and processability. All materials are pelletised. ECC’s product line includes peroxide, moisture and irradiation cross linkable compound options for high performance cable insulation. Common applications include appliance wire, automotive, industrial power, building, medium voltage power cable, oil and gas, photovoltaic and shipboard. In terms of custom development and tolling services, ECC has extensive experience with EPR, PE, PP, POE, EVA EJP Maschinen GmbH www.ejpmachines.com

ENKOline autonomous in-line nail manufacturing system

The addition of a new compact safety fence on the ENKOpayoff payoff machine enables the ENKOnail+ to start and stop automatically, without jeopardising safety or sacrificing footprint. When placed in an in-line configuration with the ENKOveyor magnetic conveyor, ENKOroll thread rolling machine and ENKOveyor Smart Belt conveyor, the ENKOline functions as a complete end to-end nail production solution.
