Spirka Schnellflechter and Wardwell Braiding Booth: 09B33 The Type DF braiding machines are used for screening of coaxial cables and other conductors and cables with copper or galvanized steel wires in a diameter range of 0.05 to 0.3mm. The DF 16 A on display will be configured for braiding of fine wires in range of 4x.05mm. This will also be demonstrated with a new control system, which provides the following features and advantages to customers: • New generation of PLC, HMI and drives • Optimized and user-friendly operating system • Expanded pitch range • Optional energy and temperature measuring system • Optional remote control and diagnostic system • Upgraded empty bobbin detection system The machine will be presented with options for pay-off and take-up to demonstrate the flexibility of the system for different application ranges and cable specifications. This braiding line offers a wide range of applications and increased flexibility in screening processes. The integrated concentric taper features optimized regulation for precise pre-setting of tape

amount of wire lubricant can easily be controlled in the production process • Eliminate short feeds before they occur: RMG’s Autodraw speed control system matches the consumption rate of the production machine. All tension is removed from the feed rolls. Also, Startgard, Slipgard and Tanglegard sense any problem with the process and stop the production machine before a shortfeed occurs • Eliminate wire kinks: Wire drawn in-line is always smooth and straight with a natural cast and with no kinks • Employ any coil size or weight: An RMG wire drawer does all the work of turning the coil and unwrapping the wire, thereby eliminating the load on the feed rolls, regardless of coil size • Increase overall performance: When considering the improvements associated with an RMG machine it is easy to understand why a header line utilising an RMG in-line wire drawer will outperform a header line that does not in both cost and consistency of product The in-line wire processing equipment is used by many manufacturing processes including fastener production, nail making, wire bending, concrete products, steel bar processing, welded wire products, screw machine parts and wire straightening and cutting. On display will be the Model 500 in-line wire drawer.
