INDEX

Developed to meet strict military, transportation, and energy industry needs, both the flame retardant and zero halogen, flame retardant formulations feature intumescent char formers and low smoke synergists to smother fires in mission-critical cables. In addition to the SuperBulk range, Web Industries offers specialized products and services to the power/energy, datacom, telecom, and control cable markets, including precision-tuned signal isolation tapes, custom-tailored cable binders, film formulation, extrusion, laminating, and converting.

Dies are individually hand-made in matched sets, in standard or custom sizes, to suit round or profile wire.

PWM Ltd Booth 104

• sheathing lines, for perfect reel finish in in-line production • wire lines or rope twisting lines, for perfect reel finish in in-line production

PWM’s best-selling M101 cold welder and other manuallyoperatedmodels from itscomprehensive range will be in action at Booth 104 at this year’s IWCS in Rhode Island, from 9 th to 12 th November. Represented by Joe Snee Associates, exclusive distributor for PWM’s machines, spares and dies in the USA and Canada, visitors are invited to watch demonstrations of the cold welding technique and try out the machines for themselves. The versatile M101 cold welder for bonding copper wire 0.04" to 0.141" (1mm to 3.6mm) and aluminum 0.04" to 0.197" (1mm to 5mm) is also commonly used to weld profiles and strips for armouring lines. Low maintenance and simple to operate, the M101 can be used either on a workbench or supplied with a trolley, enabling the operator to wheel it quickly to the work area, saving effort and reducing downtime. PWM’s smaller BM10 and BM30 manual welders are robust, reliable machines, designed for non-ferrous wire and strip 0.0039" to 0.071" (0.1mm to 1.8mm). They can also be used on aworkbench or supplied with a trolley. The M10, M25 and M30 hand-held models will weld copper/aluminum wire 0.0039" to 0.071" (0.1mm to 1.8mm). Comfortable to hold and quick and easy to use, they are suitable for welding wire breaks in confined spaces. PWM’s range also includes air/hydraulic, electro/ hydraulic, pneumatic and electro/pneumatic powered cold welders, for wire and rod up to 25mm (0.984") copper and 30mm (1.181") aluminum. PWM’s cold welding equipment is designed and made to high standards in PWM’s Britishworkshops.

Roblon A/S Booth 509 The Roblon precision coiling unit offers automatic precision winding at high speed. The controlled positioning of products such as cables, wires and plastic tubes provides a uniform winding pattern with no major gaps, which virtually eliminates product crossings in the take-up process. Sensors detect the flanges of the reel, and when the product reaches the flanges the traversing direction reverses. By use of advanced controlling the Roblon precision coiling unit controls and monitors the tension by which the product is being placed on top of the previous product layer and also the tension by which the product is being placed evenly side by side during the take-up process. The uniform positioning of the product means longer lengths per reel and the possibility for higher pay-off speed during installation and use. The Roblon precision coiling unit eliminates very important safety issues in the take-up process, because manual guiding of the cable while winding it onto the reel is no longer necessary. As the unit is 100 percent automatic, there is no need to spend resources on monitoring the winding quality of the reel. The unit is designed as a stand-alone unit for easy integration with take-ups in new or existing production lines. Typical application areas are: • OFC SZ stranding lines, to ensure the quality of the unprotected FO-center

• rewinding lines, for perfect reel finish
