WELCOME TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA

Interwire: we are proud of what we have built

Welcome to Interwire 2025, the 22nd staging of the wire and cable industry’s largest such gathering in the Americas. We consider this event to be the most complete one ever in the history of Interwire. And, it will once again be paired with the Global Continuous Casting Forum, last held in 2019, adding to the experience.

The Interwire exhibition floor will field more than 350 companies that collectively offer a wide range of solutions that address your business. We recommend that you visit as many booths as your schedule allows and do consider the dozens of first-time exhibitors. Discovering a new idea or approach that could help your company is why one attends.

Those of you who registered for the Interwire Conference will find the scope and content especially rewarding. One focus will be on how AI-supercharged Industry 4.0 technology is quickly moving past the R&D stage. You definitely should be there Tuesday morning for the keynote address by Prysmian North America CEO Andrea Pirondini, who will talk about near-term advances changing our industry. That afternoon will have industry outlooks for the ferrous and nonferrous sectors. On Wednesday, the morning session will address workplace opportunities and challenges. It is a full, comprehensive program that delivers.

Of note, all attendees will have access to the WAI Theater, courtesy of Prysmian; you can download the Interwire app for the latest event details; there is free WiFi throughout the building; and for manufacturers; there are two giveaways on Wednesday and Thursday totaling $10,000 that you might want to be there for as well as some other surprises on the floor (see p. 10).

Interwire: highlights include extrusion 1st

More than two dozen presentations are presented in the Interwire preview. Here, two of the notable speakers and a new extrusion tech initiative are singled out.

Keynote Address. On Tuesday, May 13, at 9 am, Prysmian North America CEO Andrea Pirondini’s keynote address—Linking the Future: Tomorrow’s Wire Solutions—will explore the transformative changes that are shaping the wire and cable industry in the face of evolving demand. Having led the acquisition of Encore Wire and being a key player in the decision to acquire General Cable, he is well positioned to speak on industry matters. That includes why companies will need to pursue further innovation and embrace change to unlock the opportunities of a smarter, greener future.

Advanced extrusion course ... sold out! On Wednesday, May 14, the WAI’s Advanced Extrusion Workshop will be hosted at Southwire’s plant in Carrollton. The three-hour, in-depth session will see industry veterans Richard Chamberlain, Hawkins Consulting, LLC, and David Skinner, vice president of operations, Joe Tools, Inc.— build on concepts taught in WAI’s Fundamentals course. Limited to 50 individuals, the group will later have VIP visits with select extrusion exhibitors on the show floor.

Keynote Address. Chris Tuff, a bestselling author and highly sought after keynote speaker, will share his insights and perspective on how companies can connect and inspire young talent of any generation. His Gem Gravure-sponsored presentation will explore transformative changes shaping the industry from evolving demand. He will speak Wednesday, May 14, at 9:10 am, and at 2 pm in a Fireside Chat at the WAI Theater on the show floor.

Fundamentally

speaking, we hope you’re

reading this at WAI’s iconic industry course

It’s worth getting to Atlanta a day early to take part in WAI’s renowned Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course. A full slate of industry veterans will be ready to share their shop-floor know-how on Monday, May 12. Whether you are an industry newcomer or moving to new duties or could just use a refresher, this day-long program will explain the basics of wire and cable production, electrical and ferrous. See p. 40.

GCCF program: it’s utterly packed!

The GCCF starts on Tuesday, May 13, at 8:00 am with a welcome from GCCF Chairman Chris Tucker, Encore Wire.

Then, at 8:10 am, it’s time to tackle a wide range of technical matters. Advances in Casting Technology has seven sessions, followed that afternoon by Global Cu/Al/Scrap Markets, which has five sessions. The next day, the morning features nine copper & aluminum technical sessions, followed by eight lubrication, testing, automation and safety sessions. And Thursday, the final day, has eight Sustainable Operations sessions and a panel discussion.

The presenters are a blend of industry veterans from both manufacturing as well as OEMs and suppliers that are leaders in their fields. Skimming the list of scheduled presentations reinforces the idea that, this event, held every four years, is loaded with casting know-how.

Kudos to the organizing committee: Chris Tucker (Committee Chair), Prysmian; Richard Baker, (Past Chair), Cableforce Consulting Group; Kurt Breischaft, SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS™; John Hugens, Hugens Metallurgy and Combustion; Martin Lecours, Rio Tinto; Giuseppe Marcantoni, Properzi International, Inc.; Juan Sanchez, FreeportMcMoRan; Janusz Sekunda, Prysmian; Patrick Slaughter, Southwire; Florin Teglas, Nexans; and Rob White, Hazelett Strip-Casting Corporation.

GCCF plant tour: Aurubis Richmond

For most readers, by the time you see this the Monday, May 12, tour available to GCCF attendees of the newly built Aurubis Richmond LLC operation in Augusta, Georgia, will already have been held.

It’s worth mentioning what the experience included, as the site—which took more than two years to complete—represents the first-ever secondary smelter of its kind for multimetal recycling in the United States.

2 social events set for

the

GCCF ... and it could be 3 for those socially inclined

The Global Continuous Casting Forum program will cover a lot of casting ground, so it’s fitting that so is the social program for attendees. Up for a trifecta?

It starts on Monday night, May 12, at Terminus 330, the host of the GCCF Opening Reception. The site, deemed “cool, hip, and gorgeous,” is located at 330 Marietta St NW, within walking distance of the GWCC.

On Tuesday, May 13, GCCF attendees can join Interwire attendees at their Opening Reception at the MercedesBenz Stadium, a site that needs no introduction. And on Wednesday, May 14, attendees will return to Ventanas, known for its stunning rooftop for the dinner.

Yes, it could be a grueling social schedule, but it should provide the perfect balance to the comprehensive educational program.

Historic Review Of The Development Of FRHC Rod Production, 60 Years In The Making!

Alberto Ghisetti and Giuseppe Marcantoni, Continuus-Properzi

Unbeknownst to many participants in the copper rod industry today, the technology for casting and rolling copper rod and the technology behind the recycling of

copper scrap for the production of FRHC rod actually began simultaneously in the early 1960s. The technology behind the recycling of copper scrap has improved substantially since its inception in 1963. Through the years, Continuus-Properzi has been at the forefront of tackling the many challenges associated with the development of this technology which has also become instrumental in the push to be more ‘green’. Today, the production of FRHC rod using 100% copper scrap is becoming more commonplace, and Continuus-Properzi remains the leading international supplier of Furnaces, Refining Technology, Continuous Casting & Rolling Equipment, and Environmental Exhaust Control Systems.

Advancements for the Shaft Melting Furnace

Markus Ecker, SMS group GmbH

This paper presents advancements in shaft melting furnace technology through the implementation of a new gas burner and a modified refractory lining design. The gas burner features a stable flame pattern with no cold spots, which is achieved by a specialized mixing nozzle, leading to lower maintenance costs and a minimum of melting interruptions. It adheres to the latest safety standards, allowing for direct startup and continuous flame monitoring, and supports hydrogen use to reduce CO2 emissions. Additionally, the paper discusses a new refractory lining design and a digital solution for monitoring load levels, which improve operational reliability and reduce energy and gas consumption. These innovations enhance the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and lower operational expenditures (OPEX). Initial implementations have been made in existing equipment and further developments are planned for OEM machines.

Stress Relief Heat Treating of CuCrZr Casting Rings

Corbin Whan and Joshua Muñoz, Encore Wire

The CuCrZr alloy is known to be sensitive in relation to its thermal history, causing crack formation at shortened intervals. Our studies in stress relief heat treating of the CuCrZr casting rings have resulted in successfully increasing the time before crack formation. These initial results show a promising method to further increase the lifespan of the casting rings.

The twin-belt continuous cast process uses graphite to protect equipment subject to this heat and is later washed off by the same process water. After time, there is an accumulation of graphite in the process water leading to casting issues. This paper aims to identify the positive effects on equipment lifecycle, cast life elongation, water sustainability, and environmental after implementing filtration techniques.

Wire Breaks and Surface Damage

This concentrated one-day introductory course presented by experts in the field provides a solid background in the essentials of wire and cable manufacturing. For presenter bios, go to www.interwire25.com. The Wire Association’s most popular training program and refresher course for new hires, sales teams, and operations personnel, it includes general topics in the morning and then breaks into separate sessions for ferrous and nonferrous/electrical tracks in the afternoon, followed by a combined session.

Mechanics of Wiredrawing

Matt Reinoehl, SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS

Dr. Horace Pops, Horace Pops Consulting

This course presents fundamental engineering principles and process calculations that are used to design, analyze, and improve metal rod and wiredrawing operations. Topics include a basic overview of wiredrawing mechanics with respect to material behavior and process parameters. Die angle and reduction will be addressed in light of the parameter and its practical application. Drawing limits, friction and lubrication, work-piece heating, and temperature effects are also discussed.

9:30 – 10:15 am

Room 411

Drawing Dies

Tom Maxwell Jr., Die Quip Corp.

This presentation focuses on the die, the most important part of the drawing process. Without it, the best drawing machines, lubricant, and treatment systems cannot reduce the wire diameter. However, with a die, vice pliers and a hammer, wire can be drawn, albeit slowly, as it has been for over 2,000 years. The intention of this course is to provide an understanding of what makes a die work, how it is designed, causes of failure, and problems with drawing larger sizes.

10:30 – 11:15 am

Room 411

Lubrication in the Wire Drawing Process

Svet Pavlovsky, H.L. Blachford Ltd.

The wiredrawing process generates significant heat that affects the lubricants’ physical and chemical properties which in turn affects the lubricants’ ability to provide separation of the wire to the die. The amount of generated heat is influenced by complex interactions between metal composition, surface preparation, production equipment, and other factors.

Turks Heads

FENN Turks Heads are for the direct formation of round material to squares, rectangles and special shapes.

Power-Driven Turks Heads eliminate the need for an external pull-through device, such as a capstan, but Pull-Through Turks Heads are available. Can be used in line with other Wire Flattening & Shaping equipment.

Pointers

FENN Roll Pointers are available to prepare rods or tubing for wire drawing. As an alternative to swaging, roll pointers include a pair of rolls instead of dies, which are driven manually or by a motor.

Each pointer has a pair of rolls, grooved to your specifications. The grooves will continue to get smaller which allows the material passing through to get to a desired finish size.

Takeups

FENN Takeups are available to takeup wire from a process. They can be used in conjunction with all types of machinery such as, Bull Blocks, Wire Flattening & Shaping Lines, and Rewinders.

Can be custom to your specifications, the Traversing Takeup allows for a reciprocating spool for inline spooling. They are also available for specialty rewind lines.

interest is obvious. In the past, some of our members have already taken part in Interwire on an individual basis. Organizing a Swiss pavilion is consistent with the spirit of the association. It brings together small and large companies at this kind of event. The Swiss pavilion helps to raise the profile of our members, to be more efficient and to develop synergies.

WJI: What type(s) of innovation will you present?

SCC: Switzerland has always been a country of innovation. As a result, each member will be showcasing its latest technological innovations in its own dedicated space. And the association is not to be outdone, introducing new methods of communication and business intelligence that are more in tune with the times.

WJI: Why should attendees want to stop by your booth?

SCC: It will be like a specialized mini-market. Visitors will be able to discover a host of innovative solutions for cable production, metrology and tooling in a compact space. Highperformance, high-quality solutions at competitive prices.

Refractron: new/replacement parts a specialty

Izory®HD, our proprietary MgPSZ ceramic formulation that we make in house from high purity chemical grade zirconia, touts a nearly 40% improvement in abrasion resistance, 15% increase in hardness and 30% boost in strength. These attractive properties offer wire manufacturer a long-lasting alternative that should be considered as a means of preserving wire quality, and lowering total costs. IzoryHD zirconia ceramic products are often specified as rings, capstans and step-cones on wet drawing lines, but the use of this high-performance material has expanded to guides, eyelets, pulleys, rollers, nozzles and dies. We make precise parts as small as a few millimeters and as large as nearly 600 mm in diameter. These

have proven to be a cost-effective alternative to steel, carbide, alumina and other traditional magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (MgPSZ).

Since machinery is useful for decades, the questions of when to replace parts to maintain optimum output and maintaining a safety stock should still be answered and planned. We offer free engineering assessments to help your team plan or debate refurbishments, set stock levels or consider the value in replacing metal, plastic, carbide or other ceramic parts with IzoryHD .

These assessments can include discussing modernizing capstans or components on vintage lines or upgrading a line that came with lower grade parts. If your team is not sure

PRODUCT Showcase

Niehoff’s SMB: for fast,

perfect braiding bobbins

Germany’s Maschinenfabrik Niehoff and its subsidiary Niehoff Endex North America Inc. (NENA) will display a multiwire drawing line type MMH 121 + RM 201 and a rewinding line type ARP 630 (payoff) + SMB 4.

The new four-spindle rewinder type SMB is a further development of the DSA-4 model and designed to respool wire drawn on multiwire or fine wire drawing lines onto braiding bobbins for rotary braiding machines. Four bobbins fed automatically from a magazine can be spooled at the same time enabling an SMB to continuously supply around eight to ten

FIRST-TIME Exhibitor

braiding machines with bobbins. One of the SMB’s main innovations is that it can work at a speed of up to 800 m/min, 200 m/min more than its predecessor. In addition, the bobbin magazines on the SMB are mounted at man height. Thus, the operator no longer has to bend down to refill empty bobbins or to remove the filled bobbins.

The wires in the wire bundle are largely arranged in parallel and have no differences in length. Thus, the bundles can be processed into high-quality braids at high braiding speeds with a very low wire break frequency.

Niehoff’s SMB model can be seen at the company’s booth at Interwire.

The SMB rewinding machine is designed for round or flat wire made of copper, aluminum, iron, stainless steel and textile materials. Via the new digital service platform myNIEHOFF, machine and process data can be monitored online.

tric wire and cable is unusual. One day in February 1996, we received a request to manufacture a strange tape that was beyond our common sense. Despite our limited manufacturing equipment and knowledge of materials, we had infinite creativity. It allowed us to make an ultra-thin, highly functional shield tape to enhance insulation, provide electromagnetic shielding and improve overall cable performance for demanding applications like data centers and industrial environments. This product development was the true start of our business.

PRODUCT Showcase

LEIBINGER: Like the idea of jet-like speed for printing on wire and cable? Well, here it is!

At Interwire, LEIBINGER is showcasing the JET Rapid Wire, a high-speed CIJ printer developed specifically for the wire and cable industry. Like its name suggests, it moves fast, printing up to 3,280 ft/ min while maintaining consistently high print quality. Even at full speed, the JET Rapid Wire produces clear, durable codes for product identification, traceability, and quality control, such as serial numbers, meter and feet markings, material specifications and safety or handling instructions.

A seven-dot raster and special wire print head, which positions the nozzle closer to the cable, ensure excellent legibility at high speeds. Standard

connectivity, including USB, Ethernet, RS232 and I/O signals (9/8), is included at no extra cost, simplifying integration.

The company will also display the JET Rapid Wire PI, designed for printing on dark cable jackets using high-contrast pigmented inks.

All LEIBINGER printers are equipped with Sealtronic, its unique fully automatic nozzle sealing technology that keeps the ink circuit airtight during downtime. That prevents the ink from drying and eliminating the need for cleaning. The result: immediate start-up, minimal maintenance, and reliable operation.

LEIBINGER inks offer strong adhe-

Its versatile foaming lines achieve the essential tight tolerance ranges for high-end applications such as AI data centers, medical technology, or aerospace systems. Maintaining utmost precision and process stability throughout the entire manufacturing process is critical for such specialized applications. Even minor deviations in conductor center positioning, ovality, or diameter impact cable performance.

Rosendahl: extruder advances ensure process stability/repeatability for high-end applications

combined with an advanced gas-dosing system, ensure the long-term stability and repeatability for a fine and uniform foam structure— enabling high speeds and low latency in data transmission.

The foaming of high-end products with sensitive materials requires highest precision. Rosendahl’s ROEX extruder technology (pictured),

Rosendahl offers manufacturers high flexibility with a modular line concept. It is fast and easy to switch between products, allowing for a variety of cable designs. Both solid and foamed products can be produced on one extrusion line. A specially developed gas injector valve enables the production of foamed or solid cables without any adjustments to the gas injector. This self-sealing system is compatible with both polyolefins (PE/PP) and fluoropolymers (FEP/

PFA). Also, the Rosendahl Mass Flow Control unit automatically regulates the gas flow and constantly adjusts it throughout the whole production. One of the latest applications of Rosendahl’s high-temperature foam extrusion lines is in the primary insulation of Twinax cables, which are used to connect GPUs in AI data centers—helping supercomputers think faster.

USA Booth 911

Exhibiting: Wardwell Braiding Co., co-exhibiting with SKET, Henrich and Spirka, will display a wire rapid braider, a fully automatic winder and a static payoff that offer noteworthy advances to help cable manufacturers meet new industry requirements. The 16-carrier rapid wire braider has features that would have been considered optional several years ago. The added features—sound enclosure with light and exhaust fan, variable speed inverter with advanced touchscreen display, automatic central lube system, empty bobbin detector, core run-out sensor and data collection ability—make it easier to program and control the shielding process, reduce defects and ultimately increase productivity. The braider is equipped with integrated payoff and wind-up mechanisms for reels up to 800 mm in diameter. Our wire re-winding system: a fully automatic winder and a 12-position static payoff provide cable manufacturers with advantages of streamlining the supplies of wound bobbins, a viable solution for customers who have to rely on wire suppliers when our supply chain is disrupted. Stop by and let us demonstrate to you the Wardwell advantage.

Since the team is so versed in every aspect of this profession, WDI is growing fast and becoming one of Taiwan’s leading diamond die makers. The company has grown from a local factory into its current status as a modern manufacturer of wire dies with adequate quality, technology, and production capability to satisfy the needs and requirements of customers in worldwide marketplaces and has built up a solid reputation among all customers globally.
