Shanghai, China

At wire China 2023, the company will highlight its premium lubricants for electrical wire applications. For aluminium wire, Condat offers high lubricating performance soluble and neat oils that enable operations from rod breakdown to fine wire drawing. For copper wire, a range of water-based lubricants are available for hot rolling of wire rod, and cold drawing operations from rod breakdown to fine wire. They allow extended bath lifetime due to their robust formulation.

Recent rises in raw material prices have focused special attention on how these materials are used in manufacturing processes. To keep full control of raw material consumption, accurate data from reliable measurements is necessary. This is particularly relevant for cable manufacturers who produce not only wires, but also stranded, flexible, sector shaped and insulated conductors.

Condat’s lubricants range offers a wide choice of soaps, surface treatment products, and neat and soluble oils. application is different, and technology and environmental challenges are constantly evolving. Condat’s experts develop lubricants answering specific needs and guide customers to the best lubrication strategy. For wire drawing, Condat offers 40 eco-designed lubricants that are rated through its self-scoring Lubriscore®. Particular attention is paid to the raw materials used, which limit as much as possible the impact on resources and end users. As well as providing eco-designed lubricants, the company is keen on solving day-to-day issues. With long expertise in the wire industry, Condat gives technical guidelines for the selection and use of suitable dry drawing lubricants. Many subjects can be addressed by the Condat team, such as reducing total wire-drawing costs, reducing the amount of dust generated in the workshop, improving productivity, or optimising surface coatings. Condat has decided to develop its presence on the Asian continent. As an industrial group, the company has invested in facilities to produce lubricants on four continents. Having already been present in China for more than 15 years, with a local production unit in Shanghai, the company is now expanding with a new plant in Shandong province. Condat Qingdao started production at the end of 2022. Each wire drawing

Low frequency current injection as part of an AESA ResTest 813X

Accurately measuring such products requires dedicated instruments and particular skills. The 813x ResTest range from metrology specialist AESA Cortaillod can be used to measure the resistance of conductors in process, directly on the assembly line, using patented technology. Accurate measurement allows safety margins to be reduced. The accuracy of the on-line measure- ment of linear resistance is obtained by allowing for all related uncertainties, including temperature, length and current distribution, in a single integrated and movable unit. The instrument can be connected to an IT network and is supplied with bespoke software tailored to the cable industry, to keep yields at the highest levels. This allows processes to be sustainably optimised. Many AESA Cortaillod instruments have been installed across Asia. The com- pany’s technical support organisation in the region, with subsidiaries in Shanghai and Hong Kong, ensures long-term reliability. AESA Cortaillod www.aesa-cortaillod.com
