MGS Group Stand: 9D14-07

Fort Wayne Wire Die, Inc designs and manufactures high-precision wire drawing dies and hard-material components for the wire and cable industry.

Keir’s triaxially braided composite Standard and BackBone™ flyer bow constructions have greater durability than layered/ laminated designs, allowing them to take more hits and endure higher stress, giving increased operating life and less machine downtime. The more aerodynamic BackBone™ design functions at lower power consumption and higher TPM with improved wire quality and a further reduction in bow breakage. Up to 40 percent less energy (AMPS) is used along with a

MAC systems can include mechanical handling and positioning of the test material and comprehensive controls and reporting capability that can be integrated with the mill’s quality control network. Complete information on MAC instruments and systems will be available at MAC’s stand in multiple languages from MAC’s experienced field staff.

Automatic dual take-up

With 84 years of experience in designing and manufacturing non-destructive test instruments and systems for the metals industry, Magnetic Analysis Corp will be featuring a range of test systems for wire, bar and rod manufacturers. MAC offers eddy current, ultrasonic, and flux leakage test technology for detecting flaws and physical characteristics in wire, rod and bar. Applications include eddy current testers such as the MultiMac ® and MiniMac ® to find butt welds, breaks and/ or broken strands, laps, seams, slivers, and cracks in magnetic and non magnetic grades of wire at speeds up to 4,000ft/min; Echomac ® ultrasonic and MultiMac eddy current round and square billet inspection stations for detecting long, continuous surface defects and internal flaws; eddy current testers for detecting non-ferrous inclusions; and Rotoflux ® flux leakage testers to detect ferrous inclusions in non-ferrous material.

These systems are customized to optimize customer applications, comprehensively designed and ruggedly built for decades of reliable, consistent service. Products featured on the stand will be: fully automatic dual take-up with a unique robot handling system for depalletizing and palletizing, the Northampton triple twist twinner, the latest design in slip ring brushes and holders, plus the standard product range which includes: payoffs, take-ups, rewinders, dancers, accumulators, capstans, length counters, air wipes, swage tools, electric brazers, double twist bunchers, twinners, and single twist cablers.

The Split Shot air wipe from Keir

Keir’s patented SureShot and SplitShot Air Wipes provide an effective drying method that does not depend on high-volume air consumption. The efficient design yields effective drying using a very low volume of compressed air and lasts much longer than other brands due to the rugged ceramic insert lining the wire path. This equates to over 25 percent reduction in compressed air usage and an operating life of years against months.
