MIKROTEK Precision with Economy

Faster wire drawing and improved quality Paramount Die is a supplier of carbide wire dies to the global wire drawing industry.

Paramount also works to promote sustainability, by having customers return their used carbide dies to be re-manufactured in its fully automated mass production process. In addition to standard dies, Paramount supplies and develops large cased dies, shaped dies and shaving dies, and works to develop new technolo- gies that will deliver value to customers, allowing wire drawers to further improve their processes and products.

As an industry innovator, Paramount has introduced several products that it says have become wire industry best practices, and the company continues to innovate. The wire die systems developed by Paramount contribute to faster wire drawing speeds and improved wire quality and productivity. Its Paraloc pressure system is widely used around the world.

Detecting longitudinal surface defects The Rotomac ® 25RM eddy current rotary from Magnetic Analysis Corp (MAC) provides on-line inspection for long, continuous surface flaws such as seams and laps in cold heading and other slow-throughput operations. Flaws are identified prior to forming and cutting, and the defect alarm activation is delayed so that the piece made from the defective wire is rejected after the cutting operation.

For detecting typical small surface defects such as scratches, cracks and pin holes in wire, MAC recommends its eddy current encircling test coil systems such as the MultiMac ® . Using MAC’s grading software, each product segment or coil can be characterised to

meet the customer’s needs. Magnetic Analysis Corp www.mac-ndt.com

Operating at 1,000 rpm, the Rotomac 25RM handles wire from 3 to 25mm in diameter. Test probe adjustments are easily accessible. Typical throughput speeds are up to 12m per minute. The rotary’s accurate distance compensation, when using an absolute test probe, permits inspection of excessively out-of-round product. Designed to detect longitudinal defects during high-speed production, the rotary is suitable for spring makers and other wire producers. Operating at speeds up to 18,000 rpm, product from 2 to 20mm in diameter can be tested. Distance compensation – critical for testing ovate wire – is included; for drawn wire, drawing nibs can be adapted for use as bushings for testing marginally straightened wire. Applications include testing A-286 stainless steel wire and similar low- conductivity alloys.
