of solid finishing materials with the precision of Helicord coating. Other applications include cleaning insulated cable; applying primers or dispersions such as water- or solvent-based PTFE dispersions to bare wire or insulated cable; and removing inkjet misprints from cable.

The patented GreenBow2 is a closed bow model that provides energy savings (claimed to be up to 30 per cent) on high-speed double twist bunchers (560 to 800mm). Bow Technology will exhibit on one side of the SETIC stand in the French Pavilion. The team will be available to discuss any model matching the customer’s production needs.

Boockmann Engineering GmbH Stand: E1 D32

Established Boockmann Engineering has experience in bringing together precision and environmental protection standards while providing customer-specific solutions. In the early years, the focus was on “outside the box” problem solving in magnet wire surface treatment, working with customers until their requirements were fulfilled and their production lines ran reliably. Since then, the company has gathered knowledge in many fields and widened the scope of products and services to cater to a larger part of the wire and cable industry. Focusing on delivering solutions rather than products, and providing after sales service and access to its wide knowledge base, Boockmann aims at 100 per cent performance while keeping the “ecological footprint” as small as possible. This approach, in combination with a high degree of in house production, allows for control over quality. At wire China, Boockmann Engineering will present its Helicord® technology for surface processing of wire and cable, such as welding wire finishing or removal of misprints from cable. It will also showcase Helilub® technology for solvent-free lubrication of magnet wire, and the Labtech range of products for production-related analysis and measuring technology. The Helicord and Helilub principle is based on friction between a fast-moving wire and a textile cord or yarn wound around a wire, strand or insulated cable multiple times, moving slowly under push- and pull-controlled conditions, creating a multiple 360° contact between the constantly renewed cleaning cord and the wire. Friction power on the wire increases linearly with the wire speed. This means the friction energy per wire surface unit, and therefore also efficiency, is independent of the wire speed. Helicord can be run at drawing speeds. The use of small amounts of liquids, such as water-based tensides, organic solvents, oil or a variety of dispersions, may be desirable or even required for both cleaning and coating processes, depending on the application in question. For the welding wire industry, various welding wire finishing cords are available, combining the properties in 1982,

www.wirechina.net The C2S Customer Services department acts as a partner to maintain machine productivity and enhance product quality, whatever the brand of equipment.

Helicord technology

Helicord machines are available in different shapes and sizes, suitable for applications ranging from wiping off loosely adhering dust and metal particles, up to a two-step process for abrasive grinding and finishing. Product diameters range from fine wire to cables of up to 18mm. Boockmann Engineering GmbH www.boockmann.com

C2S provides spare parts, upgrades and maintenance projects, as well as transfer and restart operations of complete lines. Upgrades are a sustainable approach: by extending the life of existing machines, customers reduce their environmental impact by minimising the need for new equipment. C2S states that its solutions are a way to save energy and “go green”. The company is involved in smart factories and Industry 4.0 processes.

Cersa-MCI Stand: E1 F31

Established in France in 1981, Cersa-MCI develops and manufactures measuring equipment for fine wires, cables and optical fibres to help customers enhance production quality. Advanced technologies such as interferometers and diffraction ensure high-speed measurements and accuracy. The sensors are used on- and off-line for non-contact measurement applications. In the mid-1980s, Cersa-MCI launched its first device for fine wire measurement. ›››
