The Best of... OEM R&D ADVANCES

The Best of ... Bartell USA

This section asks OEMs to discuss how their R&D has led to advances/models that make a difference on the shop floor. It could be for any given system, yet part of the “Best of” equation also includes how a supplier works with its customers. What makes it a good potential partner. Also, following the feature is a presentation on how one company capitalizes on AI advances, and more technical details are presented in some entries in the Products section.

Bartell Machinery Services

Tel. 315-356-4000

mhovey@bartellmachinery.com www.bartellmachinery.com

With a rich history in wire and cable and the integration of market leader CEECO, Bartell has developed wire and cable manufacturing solutions that propel its customers forward. The Armourlock SA-4 exemplifies this innovation. The strip-armoring system enhances speed, quality, productivity, ease of setup, and reduces maintenance, allowing manufacturers to handle a wider product range with a single system, offering ultimate production flexibility to meet diverse customer needs.

The model has an increased production range (0.375 in. to 4.0 in.) and delivers industry-leading performance at 1300 RPM, depending on the product. It boasts a 50% increase in input material capacity, handling strip coils up to 1,500 lb. Advanced ergonomic design ensures user comfort, and hardened LED lights improve visibility during operation. Key features include sliding doors with integrated plexiglass windows, improved door seals for better lubrication retention, a redesigned tooling head and strip path, and an optional offline tool setup. The refined drive system has integrated servo motors that ensure precise strip tension without slip rings. The machine, adaptable to both right-and left-handed orientations, has a backload design for quicker pack changeovers and simplified string-up. The sliding door has improved door seals, and an oil-collection tank maximizes lubrication containment. An integrated drain allows for easy transfer of used oil, and an integrated multi-stage oil mist collector ensures a clean working environment.

A key update to the system (pictured) is an upgraded HMI screen that reduces the learning curve for new operators and maximizes production speeds, ensuring the machine is user-friendly and highly efficient. Upgrades are always made with customer needs at the forefront.

The Best of ... Bozdemir Turkey

Contact: Mehmet Cem Civil sales & marketing

Tel. + 90-258-268-41-16 sales2@bozdemir.co www.bozdemir.co

Since 1999, Bozdemir Machinery has been trusted for quality wire and cable stranding machines by industry leaders, first from local circles than international firms and finally all over the world. Bozdemir started out as a little workshop in Denizli, but the quality and durability of our equipment led to it being favored by many.

Unlike many companies that make all types of cable factory equipment/machines and turnkey factory projects, we only build stranding lines and machines. Our customer portfolio is found in five continents. One key to Bozdemir Machinery being such a reliable solution partner to invest in relates to our work discipline. We design all the machines that we produce, with great care, to answer all the needs of customers for both production and quality control. With state-of-the-art measuring systems, we make sure all the machine parts we make are flawless. Only perfect components are used when we assemble machines to meet higher standards than demanded by the industry, and to work at ease in harsh work conditions.

We undertake automatization and programming exactly as required by customers. They are then ready to be inspected by company representatives, and we entertain them not just as customers but as guests.We also make sure to promptly provide spare parts as well as 24/7 service contact.

Because of our competitive spirit, we are continuously evolving our machines, including patents, to be better. R&D is a constant part of our production philosophy. The fruit of that determination can be seen by the rigid strander line on p. 61. Our BOST model has a unique cabin structure that provides a safer work experience.

The Best of ... DEM Italy

Contact: Alessandro Olivieri, Wire Up technology

Tel. +39-0432-867611 info@demgroup www.demgroup.com>

Italy’s DEM, a provider of wire rolling technology developed Wire Up (the DEM Digital Platform, an IIoT package specially developed for wire industry equipment) to minimize the challenges associated with traditional production and maintenance routines. With it, decision-makers can access important data, identify bottlenecks and make informed choices swiftly.

The platform is designed with wire makers in mind. It’s not just a powerful tool but easy to navigate. Wire Up doesn’t just collect data, it transforms it into actionable insights. The platform employs advanced analytics to interpret the gathered information, offering valuable metrics and trends. This data-driven approach empowers decision-makers to make strategic choices, optimizing processes for long-term success. This technology optimizes the company’s product lines.

DEM designs, manufactures and commissions rolling lines with two- or four-roll stands for flat and shaped steel wire as well as flat and shaped copper or aluminum wire; rolling modules installed in enameling lines; rolling lines for cold rolled or stretched reinforcing wire; calibration and heating lines for annealing of IT spring wire; forming and filling as well as redrawing lines for FCW flux cored welding wire; drawing lines for round wire; electric switchboards; and automation equipment. It also offers unwinders, rod preparation units, wire polishing devices, coilers, spoolers and bar bundle facilities. Tying and strapping devices, complement the lines.

Whether reinforcing or profile wire rolling or welding and spring wire making, we take it further. Discover better ways to form metals at demgroup.com. See more about us on p. 60.
