Exhibitors at wire 2024

The vertical spring end grinders have vertically installed grinding spindles. Between the wheels, a steel disc turns, which charges the springs with manual loading or automatic loading. New features allow faster and more precise production: wheel speed up to 100m/s; electronics setting station up to 2,500kg; air-cooled system; zero play gearbox on plate movement; and a safety device. Kamatech Srl https://kamatech.it Koner Srl 11 A56 As part of Italy’s TKT Group, Koner operates in the field of wire drawing dies and drawing auxiliary products. Koner produces rough and finished wire drawing dies and nibs; pressure dies for dry drawing processes; rough and finished hard metal bushes for various applications; large and shaped dies; and polycrystalline diamond dies. manufactures auxiliary products for wire drawing, such as spiral brushes, wiping pads and pulling dogs, and machines and systems for wire cleaning and reconditioning of drawing dies. Koner technicians work in close cooperation with Tecnovo. Joint trials with dies and lubricants lead to improved performance. Koner Srl www.tktgroup.it Kurre Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH 10 C18 and implementing overall systems for a variety of processes in the wire and cable industry, Kurre Systems has an extensive portfolio in the field of winding technology, where ring winding systems take a critical role. In particular, the smooth functioning of the reel coiler or the ring coiler body is crucial for perfectly wound rings. “Our reel is truly personalised in every respect,” said sales representative Marco Kreuzkam. “The product or the winding parameters requested by the customer determine the dimensions, but the real highlight are our adapters. This makes it possible to precisely increase the most The company also In addition to designing

important parameters such as winding width, core diameter and therefore the bending radius. This allows one reel to be used cost effectively for winding several products.” Kurre now offers a wide range of reels that have already been converted and are used to wind products such as copper cables, rubber hoses and wire ropes. In operation, the reel is initially connect ed manually or automatically. After the winding process, the operator activates a pusher located in the centre of the reel. The holding plates immediately fall outwards and the ring can be easily re moved. Further processes such as order picking can be connected directly. The reel has a solid design and is constructed for a long service life.

It predicts the appearance of systematic defects and optimises surface quality analysis, providing accurate location of defect positions and their images. The company’s HOTdiscover is an NDT solution for hot-rolled long products using a high-performance eddy current system; and MASSdiscover is used for continuous measurement of mass flow in hot-rolled products and real-time calculation of equivalent cross section.

ISEND’s MASSdiscover

ISEND designs, develops and installs NDT solutions for surface inspection and process control of 100 per cent of the production of metallic products. The solutions include proprietary eddy current technology, computer vision and AI, positioning the company to take advantage of Industry 4.0, “big data” and IoT. The company develops solutions for the inspection of wire rod, hot-rolled bar and cold products, allowing detection of point, transverse and longitudinal defects in bars, wires and tubes. It also creates ways to measure physical properties and special applications for the inspection of metal parts through powerful, compact and versatile electronics, and provides solutions for process control by measuring mass flow with high accuracy. ISEND SA www.isend.es Kamatech Srl 16 H01 During wire 2024, Kamatech will show customers its new solution to grind springs. The new Cerbero range of vertical spring end grinding machines can grind springs up to Ø 5mm wire with three pairs of CBN wheels in only one pass. Three different sizes of wheel are available: 300mm, 450mm and 660mm. Each model has three different working heads with two setting stations in the middle. This allows operation of grind press followed by another grind for finishing.

Visitors to the Kurre stand at wire 2024 will see the functionality for themselves, as well as finding information about the construction of special machines and the adaptability of the systems. Kurre Spezialmaschinenbau GmbH www.kurre-systems.de 09 A06 Lämneå Bruk is setting out to make an impact at wire 2024, stationed on stand 09 A06, at the entrance of Hall 9. Company president Jonas Hagstedt expressed his enthusiasm for the event, highlighting the opportunities wire Düsseldorf provides: “Without a question, wire Düsseldorf offers the best opportunities to network, discuss the most recent industry advancements and innovations and, of course, to (re) connect with both regular and new customers.” At the forefront of Lämneå Bruk’s showcase will be the No Twist Coiler – a machine that has been under continuous development since 1992. Offering increases in output during wire drawing and uncoiling processes without additional adjustment to the existing line set-up, the company sees Lämneå Bruk AB
