Lämneå Bruk’s team will be present at the show

Rotomac 25 RM eddy current rotary for testing wire in cold heading and similar operations

“Due to the high demand for our ma chines and services, we are happy to an nounce that we will be sending a bigger team to Atlanta this year.” Manufacturing solely for the wire in dustry for more than 200 years equips Lämneå Bruk with specialised industry knowledge to design, develop and build all parts and components for its machines in-house, tailored to the customer’s spe cific requirements. From drawing machine lines to spooling machines, rod preparation, coilers, take ups, payoffs, wire laying and pointing machines, the company delivers solutions for different wire types, including welding, low to high carbon, stainless steel and spring wire. Lämneå Bruk also has the ability to provide entire lines and factories, making it a one-stop wire machinery supplier with consistent quality and service. Lämneå Bruk AB www.lamnea.se

The test probes are easy to access, and separate screw adjustments for each probe enable quick size changes. Bushings keep the product centred during the test and the rotary’s accurate distance compensation, when using an absolute probe, permits the testing of excessively out-of-round product. The tester is easy to install as it operates on 120V AC, and there are no special control box or utility requirements. The Minimac 50/55 for inspecting wire, rod and tube for short surface and some subsurface defects at speeds up to 4,000 fpm will also be on display. A linear rail fixture will demonstrate this unit testing small diameter wire. Minimac is also used for inspecting welding wire, including flux core wire where it can detect missing flux as well as flaws in the wire itself. Other applications include checking continuity and detecting welds in single- and multi conductor insulated wire and cable. Using an MID option, the Minimac is suitable for detecting magnetic inclusions in non-magnetic product. Magnetic Analysis Corp www.mac-ndt.com

Magnetic Analysis Corp Booth 555

Magnetic Analysis Corp will be displaying the Rotomac® 25 RM eddy current rotary for online detection of long, continuous surface flaws, typical in cold heading, spring making and other low-throughput operations, at booth 555 at Interwire. The latest model of the rotary, coupled with MAC’s Minimac® 60/65 eddy current electronics, provides on-line inspection for longitudinal surface defects, in- cluding cracks and seams in wire or rod. Operating at 1,200 rpm, with air ride probes and a single test channel, the Rotomac rotary can test wire from 3 to 25mm diameter ( 1 / 8 " to 1"), typically used in cold header parts forming and similar applications.

M+E Macchine + Engineering Srl Booth TBC

M+E Macchine + Engineering Srl specialises in the design and manufacture of payoffs and take-ups for steel and stainless steel wires, in coils or on spools, for annealing, patenting, galvanising, oil tempering and other in-line processes. The company, which is headquartered in Dervio, 40 miles north of Milan, Italy, also manufactures wet drawing machines for steel and stainless steel wire, complete with horizontal or vertical axis spoolers.

Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co KG Booth 841

Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and its sub sidiary Niehoff Endex North America, Inc (NENA) will be exhibiting a BMV 16 braider and a D 802 double twist bunch ing machine.
