components, that prevent accumu- lations of metal particles in the liner and contact tip. These materials also allow welding wire finishing at high production speeds. The latest addition to Boockmann’s scope of products is a cascaded three-step wire washing machine that combines features of Helicord and conventional washing systems. It is based on the Helicord technology, with multiple 360° contact between the wire and cleaning medium, consistent quality of the cleaning medium, and consistent cleaning efficiency. It adds the best features of conventional washing tanks filled with large amounts of organic solvents or other cleaning liquids, but the integrated treatment and circulation decreases cleaning liquid consumption. Boockmann Engineering GmbH www.boockmann.com BWE Ltd is a British engineering company specialising in continuous extrusion machines and cold pressure welders. Conform™ and Conklad™ are established continuous extrusion technologies in the non-ferrous, cable and tube industries. Typical applications for Conform include copper and aluminium rectangular wire (magnet wire for transformers), solid aluminium conductor (SAC for cables), copper busbar, trolley wire and other shaped conductors, round refrigeration tube, and multiport or PFC tubes in different alloys. Conklad technology is available for applications such as AS wire, OPGW, CATV, sheathed composite cores, reinforced aluminium wire and similar products requiring an aluminium sheath or non-ferrous cladding. BWE’s SheathEx™ technology is a solution for seamless aluminium sheathing of high-voltage cables. ‘Corrugated’ (helical or annular) or ‘Smooth’ options are available. The SheathEx process provides a continuous and seamless aluminium sheath with no weld. The aluminium sheath has good conductivity and environmental properties, and is light in weight.

Adwantek Technology Co, Ltd Stand: W3B23 Adwantek Technology Co is a provider of on-line measuring, monitoring and control systems for the wire and cable industry. The company supplies various equipment and measurement solutions, including diameter gauge and defect detection, high-frequency preheaters, capacitance gauges, talcum powder coating machines and spark testers. Adwantek continually develops its products, with the goals of product innovation and quality. The R&D team is committed to the development of new technologies for the market, and focused on meeting customers’ requirements. Adwantek Technology Co, Ltd www.adwantek.com Boockmann Engineering GmbH Stand: W1E12 Boockmann Engineering produces the Helilub ® technology for precision, solvent-free lubrication of magnet wire, and Helicord ® machines for surface processing of wire and cable, such as welding wire finishing or removal of misprints from cable. Helifil machines, designed for applications that require low forces in places where space is limited, complete the range. They are suitable for non- or only slightly abrasive cleaning applications on soft metal wire of diameters of approximately 0.3 to 3mm at low friction forces, or for simple application or coating tasks. On the Helicord material side, Boockmann continues to work on new developments in welding wire finishing, using fully wax-impregnated cords with special separating
