Nano-beads for the steel forge
The crystal structure of metals can
change at linear defects: As the length of
the defects in a cubic metre of steel can
add up to one light year, the discovery
ought to have practical significance since
the structure of steel depends on, how
malleable, rigid and ductile it is.

won’t work without “wire”
Today’s state-of-the-art car is a rolling
computer with over 2,000 cables with
3.5km length on board. To enable this,
the conductor manufacturers need special
machines and tools. Up-to-date information on these and other developments in
the wire sector shows “wire” Dusseldorf.

to a highly developed drawing line, the
company will present an acoustic emission
analysis method for controlling the wire
quality, and are setting standards in terms
of process monitoring and production.

EJP will present its new drawing machine
with numerous design features: the servoelectric actuation for the drawing jaws operates without any hydraulics and the employed torque motor without any gears.
The machine provides flexibility in bar
and tube drawing, and cuts set-up times.

An English manufacturer is setting its
sights on a share of the £60bn nuclear sector after securing a new funding boost.
The producer of round, flat, shaped profile
and electrical resistance wires in a range of
exotic nickel alloys, is one of the first companies to start the Fit For Nuclear journey.

New tools faster
Bihler presents their “lean tool concept”.
Reaction times as well as the production
cost of new tools for the servo-controlled
stamping and forming machines type
“RM-NC” and “GRM-NC” are reduced
and new products are brought to market
faster, even in very small batch sizes.

Comparison between systems
Here the most common thread rolling systems are compared. As there are
flat die machines, using two flat thread
rolling dies, further planetary (rotary) die
machines, using one circular die and one
segment die as last-but-not-least circular
die machines, using two circular dies.

Fine wire drawing, clean job
Bedra uses a water-miscible rod-break
drawing agent. With lubricant “Multidraw
CU UNI S” from Zeller+Gmelin, the systems operate at high speed and deformation temperature. The processes are as
clean as the processes are reliable, and
the result is precision wire at its finest.

Induction beats oil tempering
Oil tempering is recognised as the
traditional method of producing spring
wire for cold coiling. But today induction
tempered wire is increasingly growing in
popularity amongst leading spring
makers for cold coiling applications
due to its superior properties.
The next issues of
will
be focusing on the main fairs
of the wire industry.

Trial-and-error is too costly …
Shaped wire out of solid material needs
to be reliably verified. CAE-Tools like
“Copra Wire Rolling” can do that: It allows virtual optimisation of roll forming
as early as during the design phase. In other words: no cost for material and implementation of roll forming machines.

Eliminating defective fasteners
As manufacturers look to reduce
weight, they have turned to lightweight
materials like aluminium, plastics, zinc
and magnesium. The associated fastening
issues require zero defects from connecting component producers as fabrication
speed and quality depends on them.
78
Precise concentricity
measurement of conductors
During production of cable and wire
compliance with specifications such as
concentricity of the conductor in the insulation is decisive. A system for precise
measurement of concentricity in the insulation and relevant parameters of wires
and cables provides the precondition.
