On show will be: • New one-, two- and three-axis diameter gauges of the high-precision ODAC ® series for any wire and cable, with special beam geometry, fault detection function and high scan rate • The advanced ODEX ® concentricity and diameter gauge for wire extrusion. Fully non-contact, based on magnetic and laser technology • New LSV length and speed gauges for down-to-zero speed measurement • Advanced KW fault detectors with new local BAE control and display unit • New economic, modular high-perfor- mance USYS IPC data acquisition, processing and display units • Rayex ® D series: X-ray measuring and control system, for wall thickness (three layers), eccentricity and diameter/ ovality for CV lines • Profilemaster ® series: high-end non- contact profile and shape measure- ment, combining laser and CCD technology for shaped wire and any other profile • New line spark tester AC systems with models for up to 15kV, 25kV and 40kV, and cable diameters up to 250mm. Featuring adjustable frequency from 50 to 120Hz, allowing higher opera- tional line speeds to be supported with shorter electrode lengths (UL 1581) Zumbach Electronic AG – Switzerland Website : www.zumbach.com

stripers, strippers, takeups, tapers, testers, tubular stranders, welders and wire drawing.

The realisation of these specific and high-tech cables can be supervised by the Visio System ® , created by WTM for in-line visual inspection. Through high-speed industrial cameras placed after the taping process, the system elaborates in real time the frames collected and gives accurate indications about the cable geometry and surface quality. The software calculates, displays and trends the taping pitch for each revolution of the cable wrapping head, and gives immediate feedback to the operator and, in some cases, to the machine control itself. Moreover, WTM Visio System ® is able to collect data from other dimensional measuring instruments (laser gauges, capacitance unit, spark tester, etc), and it is provided with software for SPC (statistical process control) indexes such as CP, Cpk, standard deviation, etc. WTM Srl – Italy Website : www.wtmachinery.com Zumbach Stand: W1E22 Zumbach will be showcasing its portfolio of dimensional measurement and inspection systems for wire drawing, wire insulating and cable jacketing processes as well as for rod and bar mills. To achieve high precision, different technologies such as laser scanning, X-ray, ultrasound, light-section technique and linear sensor technology are used.

Over the past 30 years Wire & Plastic Machinery Corporation has earned a reputation for providing a wide range of pre-owned and reconditioned equipment. With over 30,000 machines in stock, it has the solution for all manufacturing needs. Wire & Plastic Machinery Corporation – USA Website : www.wireandplastic.com Italian company WTM has been manufacturing equipment for the wire and cable industry for more than 30 years, and has gained a reputation as a specialist in designing, developing and manufacturing machines for producing special cables. The production range includes cable taping, spinning and screening machines, single-twist stranders, rewinding lines with thermal process and other special applications. WTM customers include producers of high performance cables for aeronautical and aerospace applications, satellite systems, data cables, cloud information technology and high frequency cables, automotive and industrial communicating cables. Particular attention is paid to the process for producing aeronautical cables. Over many years, WTM has developed specific solutions that fulfil the requirements for this high-tech product. Thanks to the dynamic electronic dancer, WTM wrapping heads are able to run at a high speed, maintaining the consistency of the taping pitch with a very accurate tension control, which is a must in this type of application. For data cables, especially twinaxial and coaxial type, WTM screening and sealing machines provide a consistent production which reaches high standards, up to 25-50 GHz and more. ❍ A Jennings 2.5" model 8108 PTFE ram extruder WTM Srl Stand: W1A16
