INTERWIRE PREVIEW

Welcome!

Interwire - An Industry Production The regional and cyclical nature of trade shows makes each event distinctive. In the case of Interwire, our “special sauce” is that wire and cable manufacturers plan and execute the event. To that point, a team of more than 80 such volunteers produced this unique event that will attract some 4,000 industry professionals.

Having the manufacturers directly involved in the development of Interwire ensures that the key stakeholders are committed to the event, and that their commitment is reflected in all elements of the program. The manufacturers’ interests are evident in the conference sessions that start on p. 40. The technical training sessions offer a valuable opportunity for professional de-

velopment and the prospect for colleagues to network in one location makes Interwire an excellent investment for both suppliers and manufacturers.

Of course, the exposition is the cornerstone of the event and has been since the first Interwire was held in 1981.

We hope your schedule allows you to spend quality time on the show floor. It is invigorating to view the industry and your company through the broad prism of the exhibitor floor. Every exhibitor has solutions waiting for you, and in some cases, you can find solutions to problems that you didn’t even know existed.

It is our honor to welcome you to Atlanta for the 2017 Interwire Trade Exposition.  Visit us at Interwire booth 1539 

New & Noteworthy Keynote speaker gives straight As to the potential of 3-D technology

Mordica Lecture to cover history of copper rod continuous casting/rolling

Keynote speaker Rick Smith, a 3-D printing expert and a bestselling author, will share his vision on the future of 3-D printing, which he believes will have an incredible impact on manufacturing. He believes that 3-D printing production will change the world more in this century then the industrial revolution Smith has over the last 300 years. The author of the forthcoming book, The Second Wave: Revolution, Disruption and Survival in a 3D Printed World, Smith will discuss the growth of 3-D printing. See pp. 20 and 43.

It’s human nature to take advances for granted, but the history of continuous casting and rolling of copper rod was a crucial time for the industry. Hal Moss, Lucent Technologies (Ret.), will talk about those days, when there were no instructions to follow, and the industry was learning by trial-and-error.

Somehow, early pioneers were able to forward the process to where Moss it is today. A WAI member and holder of three patents, Moss was co-author of the Association’s best nonferrous paper in 1967. See pp. 24 and 41.

It always starts with the Fundamentals The Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course remains a superb way to kick off Interwire as its full-day experience remains an ideal primer for industry newcomers or people learning new duties. The series of presentations will be taught on Monday, May 8, by industry experts whose focus will be on providing practical information.

The course features 12 topics separated into ferrous and nonferrous tracks. For the individual topics and instructors, see p. 38.

For those who were there, the two-part Southwire tour was quite an experience If you were among the fortunate ones who signed up in time for the Southwire Company two-part tour on Monday, May 8, it was undoubtedly a memorable experience.

The schedule called for attendees to visit the company’s one-million-sq-ft utility products plant, where a variety of innovative and patented products are manufactured, and then its building wire cable plant, a “mere” 750,000-sq-ft facility that achieved OSHA VPP Star status in 2012.

A view of the Southwire campus tour goers were to see.

Did someone ask about Industry 4.0?

If not, maybe they should be asking, because whether you think of it as Industry 4.0, the Smart Factory or the Industry Internet of Things (IIoT), the melding of information technology onto the shop floor is going to have an increasingly important role.

The WAI has planned a panel discussion with four industry experts to explain just what Industry 4.0 is, how and where it can apply.

Panelists Kevin Blais, Wonderware North; Willem Sundblad, Oden Technologies Ltd.; Ali Shehab, Cimteq; and Albert Groothedde, InnoVites, will discuss the different aspects that go into Industry 4.0, including everything a company should know. See p. 40.

And this event is sponsored by ...

The 2017 staging of Interwire has been bolstered by the generosity of corporate sponsors. The WAI thanks these companies for making the quality programs possible.

Co-located Ferrous Symposium to offer full tech program at Atlanta It can be tempting to stick with a formula that is winning, but stretching to offer more is the hallmark of a healthy sign for WAI’s event in Atlanta, which this year will include the WAI’s Global Ferrous Rod and Wire Symposium 2017. The GFRWS includes 16 presentations as

Wire is everywhere.

well as a reception at the College Football Hall of Fame, which hosted the Interwire reception in 2015. It also is quite fitting to see this addition as the WAI was founded as a ferrous organization. The preview for the event starts on p. 28.

And speaking of business

McGrew

One GFRWS speaker may be familiar to Wire Expo 2016 attendees as Frank McGrew, who spoke there, did such an impressive job that he was asked to return to the larger venue of Interwire. A managing partner at McNally Capital / Merchant Banker, his presentation at Interwire will be, “Made in the USA – The Next Industrial Revolution”!”

His post-election comments at the GFRWS luncheon on Tuesday should be of interest. See p. 31.

Interwire reception a return event You can’t go home again? Maybe, but you most certainly can return to the Omni Atrium, which has served quite well as the host location for two past WAI receptions. The key attraction of the event is the opportunity to meet up with the industry friends, customers, exhibitors, program presenters, speakers and more. See p. 23.

His session, “Nonferrous Workshop on Fines and Annealing,” will expand the essential topics of the Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing course. He will examine the formation, analysis and measurement of fines, including an analysis of the origin, microstructures, and make-up of fines in nonferrous products during rod production and wiredrawing, how to avoid them, and more. See p. 42.

INTERWIRE PREVIEW

The city of Atlanta Atlanta is no stranger to the Wire Association as it has been a frequent visitor here since 1981. Two years ago, the mindset was that rather than repeat past lists of various attractions and restaurants to try, it would be more noble (and fun) to present some facts about the city that attendees might not know. Consider this a take two!

What’s in a name?

Walk this way

Atlanta’s first three names, sad to say, are about as far from glam as one can get.

In 1839 “Cousin John” Thrasher built a settlement called Thrasherville at a then-forested site near the peg marking the planned terminus of the Western & Atlantic RR. This railroad was later built by the state of Georgia as a link to the north for other railroads. When building near Griffin, the Monroe RR accepted Thrasher’s bid to build an embankment to enable a future junction of the Monroe RR with the W&A RR. The Monroe Embankment, a $25,000 project, required about two years to complete.

Thrasher brought in many laborers, built rough shelters to house them and opened Atlanta’s first store. Atlanta’s first religious service, labor trouble, social event and baby are linked to the settlement. In 1842 the terminus was changed to the place now marked by the Zero Mile Post. Thrasherville, Terminus and Marthasville were the names given to the railroad-generated settlement activity which preceded Atlanta. Thrasherville and Terminus were unofficial names. Marthasville was incorporated in 1843 and eventually became Atlanta. However, “Cousin John’s” settlement is where Atlanta began.

Atlanta has the only canopy-level pathway of its kind in the whole country: the Kendada Canopy Walk, a 600-foot long and 40-foot high urban forest skywalk inside the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Extending from a bluff in the 30-acre Garden into the branches of oaks, hickories and poplars, it is considered the only tree canopy-level walkway of its kind in the United States.

You will have a coke with that order The only soft drink in Atlanta is Coke. Well, okay, you can still get a Sprite in Atlanta, but when you order it (or any other soda) you have to ask for a Coke, and then someone will ask you what kind.

What did you expect from the city that’s home to Coca-Cola’s headquarters, and a Coke museum?

Today, home to dragons too A Brave legacy for the ages The Atlanta Braves are the oldest continually operating U.S. pro sports franchise.

The team started as the Boston Red Stockings in 1871, moved to Milwaukee in 1953, and then on to Atlanta in 1966.

Dragon Con was launched in 1987, as a project of a local science fiction and gaming group, the Dragon Alliance of Gamers and Role-Players (DAGR). The first one drew 1,400 fans, and now in 2016 it drew more than 77,000. Too bad it’s in September.

Keynote speaker WEDNESDAY, MAY 10 | 2:00 pm - 2:40 pm Keynote speaker Rick Smith, a 3-D printing expert and a bestselling author, will share his vision on the future of 3-D printing, which he believes Rick Smith will have an incredible impact on manufacturing.

The author of the forthcoming book, The Second Wave: Revolution, Disruption and Survival in a 3D Printed World, Smith will discuss the growth and inevitability of 3-D printing. He believes that 3-D printing production will change the world more in this century then the industrial revolution has over the last 300 years. He lays out a compelling framework to explain the growth and inevitability of 3-D printing as it permanently displaces some conventional manufacturing. He reveals a brave new future where objects are 3-D printed using plastics and steel, skin and stem cells, chocolate and Kevlar, where pipes are printed that can automatically repair themselves and batteries are printed the size of a grain of sand, where

global supply chains collapse, and the wealth of nations is flipped on its head.

Smith is a featured contributor for Forbes, and his work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, The Financial Times, ABC, CNN, Bloomberg, and dozens of other media outlets.

Smith is the founder and executive director of the Global Coalition on Additive Manufacturing (GCAM), a senior executive learning community focused on accelerating the positive impact of 3-D printing production. He is the co-founder of CloudDDM, an industrial 3-D printing company that is bringing speed and scale to additive manufacturing. He is also the founder and former CEO of four other successful companies. In 2010, he joined with partners Scott Miller (the former CEO of Hyatt) and Dave Fuente (former CEO of Office Depot) to launch Next Generation Leadership, an organization that seeks to reinvent executive education among upper management in the Fortune Global 500.

Mordica Memorial Award Harold (Hal) Moss Harold (Hal) Moss, widely recognized as an industry pioneer in continuous casting, is the 2017 Mordica Memorial Award winner.

Moss, who earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the Pratt Institute, Hal Moss began his career in 1963 with Western Electric/Nassau Smelting in Staten Island, New York. There, he worked on the development of the first commercial application of continuous casting and rolling of copper rod by Italy’s Continuus Properzi. He worked with the Properzi wheels and rolling mill, and used fire-refined copper from scrap as input. In 1969, he joined Sumitomo Electric in Japan, where he worked on similar technology that used a wheeltype caster and electrolytic copper. The following year, he joined Essex Wire Company in Michigan, where he worked on their unique process for continuous casting and rolling of copper rod. In 1975, he returned to Western Electric, and helped plan for a green field site to treat scrap from all of AT&T. He transferred to the company’s

Lucent Atlanta fiber optics plant in 1989 and retired in 1999.

A WAI member, Moss was awarded patents in 1965, 1969 and 1989, and was co-author of the Wire Association’s best nonferrous paper in 1967. He was lauded for his “hands-on engineering role” in advancing continuous technology, then in its infancy.

Observed one nominator, “The challenges ... were indeed formidable. Little technical assistance was available and language barriers existed. Consumables had to be developed or improved upon. Metallurgical requirements and how to manage these requirements were not well understood at the time. New employees had to be trained and significant trial and error was made.”

Added another nominator, “(Moss) always tried to find the better solutions to accomplish the needs of a fast changing world, but above all he understood from the very beginning the revolutionary boost of the continuous casting and rolling process for copper. For all of the aforementioned accomplishments and contribution, I highly recommend Hal Moss for the Mordica Memorial Award.”

Moss will be honored at Interwire 2017.

Wire Straighteners, straightener rolls, and wire tooling equipment

Sjogren Industries introduces new Static Dancer Roll Company files patent for innovative solution for wire drawing machines that reduces downtime while preventing wire surface damage Sjogren Industries has announced the launch of its latest customized solution for the wire and cable industry, the Static Dancer Roll (SDR).

Founded in 1927 by Oscar Sjogren, the company has long been an innovator in the design and manufacturing of wire straighteners, straightener rolls, and wire tooling equipment. The company is celebrating its 90th Anniversary as a leading solutions provider for the industry.

The Static Dancer Roll (patent pending) replaces the conventional dancer roller or tuner roller on a wire drawing machine. With the conventional roller, the combination of high heat, draw lube contamination, and general wear causes wire surface scratching, ball bearing seizure, and constant maintenance.

Richard Miller Richard Miller, a Southwire Company executive who was equally effective at leading WAI’s efforts in membership recruiting and fundraising, is the 2017 Donnellan Memorial Award winner. A WAI member since 1996, he served as President in 2013, and on the Association’s executive committee, member relations and conference programming committees. He is serving his third term on the Board of Directors and chairs the Finance Committee.

Miller championed efforts to grow Association membership by reenergizing efforts related to member value, recruitment and retention while also focusing on bolstering WAI’s financial position through corporate sponsorships. He did this while having a very full schedule as a senior vice president at Southwire Company, where he began his career in 1976. He has held numerous positions in engineering, materials management and plant management at various Southwire locations. He helped develop the nationally recognized 12 for Life program— a partnership between Southwire Company and the local school system—to reduce the high school drop-out rate by allowing at-risk students to work in a manufacturing plant.

Interwire Trade Exposition May 8-11, 2017 Atlanta

Miller, who won the 1994 Southwire H.A. Case Technological Achievement Award and the 1998 Southwire D.B. Cofer Enterprise Award, holds a B.S. degree in industrial engineering technology from Southern Richard Miller Technical Institute as well as several Southwire patents.

Observed one award nominator, “Richard never liked the status quo, and he made it clear from the time we asked him to join the Executive Committee, that he wanted to push change. That is exactly what he did during his tenure and he did it very well.”

Added another nominator, in addition to his focus on membership, Richard deserves credit for his effective implementation of the WAI’s sponsorship program. Further, when his term was over, he asked to be able to rejoin the Board after sitting out a year. “Truly, he is a man dedicated to giving back to his industry.”

Miller will be honored at Interwire 2017.

Quenched and Partitioned Steel Wires: Process, Characterization, and Properties Christophe Mesplont and Walther Van Raemdonck, NV Bekaert SA

Steel wires with a microstructure containing martensite and retained austenite were produced with the Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) thermal process, a modified version of the Quenching and Tempering (Q&T) process. The Q&P wires exhibited high “total elongation – at” x “tensile strength – N/mm²” product, above 20000%. N/mm². This multiplication product is two to three times higher than with Q&T. The higher elongation was due to the TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) effect during plastic deformation. The results reveal application possibilities especially where high energy absorption behavior is required.

New Process Metallurgy Developments for the Production of Steel Wire Rods Steven Jansto, CBMM North America Inc.

Improvements in mechanical property performance often result in higher production cost. Recent process metallurgy technology is applied in wire products to address this demand. The process influence is now balanced with improved wire rod microstructure, properties, and grain size consistency. The complementary benefit of micro-additions of niobium refines the microstructure, reduces scrap, and improves drawability and robustness. Case examples involve pre-stressed concrete wire rod, tire cord, and medium carbon spring steels.

by Shear Punch Test Likhith Nalluri and Ramesh K. Guduru, Lamar University; and Roberto Perez, Leonardo Radicchi S. Cunha, Peter Power, Bhaskar Yalamanchili, and Thad Boudreaux, Gerdau Long Steel North America

For the first time, a miniaturized specimen testing technique, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shear punch test (SPT),â&#x20AC;? was implemented to study the mechanical properties of wire rods. SPT can predict tensile properties as well as localized variations in the mechanical properties.

Therefore, the discs from the wire rods were tested at the center and mid-radius to investigate the variation in their shear strength correlating with their microstructures and possibly the chemistry. This paper presents those results.

Moving Toward Visible Difference and Beyond: Imaging-Based Surface Quality Control for Rod and Wire Tzyy-Shuh Chang and Enrique R. Frixione, OG Technologies Inc.

Applications of rod and wire, particularly those subject to substantial processing, demand high surface quality to avoid product failure during processing or use. In recent years, imaging-based equipment has been applied not only to the hot rolling wire rod mills, but also in wire peeling and drawing facilities.

The “image advantage” provides the foundation of visibility, a key capability for detecting and verifying very fine surface anomalies. Additionally, the visibility also facilitates timely identification of process/ equipment issues such as roll and die wear, among others.

Contour Measurement and Dimensional Surface Inspection of Long Products During Hot Rolling Tom Campbell, LAP Laser LLC

“Contour Check Shape” is a new system for contour scanning and dimensional surface inspection of long product directly during hot rolling. This is an optical non-contact system which performs up to 1,000 measuring cycles per second. Several thousand measuring points are distributed across the entire surface of the stock, thus assuring high-resolution scanning of the entire profile. The system detects both rolling defects and surface defects automatically. It automatically classifies rolling defects which previously required interpretation by an experienced user.

INTERWIRE PREVIEW

Conference Sessions From Tuesday, May 9, through Thursday, May 11, the Interwire educational program will have something for just about everyone. There will be sessions on applications, operations, drawing, nonferrous/electrical, and more, with presentations that range from copper stranding to plant safety and increasing cable to separation and recycling of wire and cable products.

There also are “big issue” subjects, including the keynote presentation by speaker Rick Smith, a 3-D printing expert and a best-selling author who will share his vision on the future of 3-D printing, to what promises to be a very memorable panel discussion on Industry 4.0, a primer that should be a must for just about any manufacturer.

There also will be a sense of history in the Mordica Lecture by Hal Moss, Lucent Technologies (Ret.), who will trace the evolution of the process for continuous casting and rolling of copper rod, which started back in the early 1960s. A WAI member, Moss was awarded patents in 1965, 1969 and 1989, and was co-author of the Wire Association’s best nonferrous paper in 1967. He was lauded for his “hands-on engineering role” in advancing continuous technology, then in its infancy.

John Barteld at the 2015 management workshop.

Production Solutions will also return to the show flow, with presentations by three companies at their booths. A new entry, Ask the Experts, will be held the last day, while John Barteld will return to repeat the Manufacturing Management Workshop, which was introduced at Interwire 2015.

The schedule remains subject to change. For the latest details, go to www.interwire17.com.

Industry 4.0 Panel Discussion: what you need to know TUESDAY, MAY 10 | 9:00 am - 10:30 am | Room 313 Industry 4.0. The Smart Factory. The IoT. Enough already! Who has the time or inclination to understand what it all means, let alone whether it has any relevance to your particular operation. The problem isn’t a lack of information online, it’s that there is way too much to ferret through, way too many potential directions to follow.

Fortunately, the WAI’s Conference Programming Committee has no desire to dull anyone’s senses or glaze eyes. Instead, the committee mindset was that it would really help the industry if a forum could be provided where the average person could sit in and learn the essence of what they need to know about this substantive topic...without getting sidetracked by side issues that may or may not matter.

Thus, with that improbably long introduction, Interwire attendees are heartily encouraged to sit in on the Industry 4.0 Panel Discussion that starts at 9 am on Tuesday, May 9.

Panelists Kevin Blais, Wonderware North; Willem Sundblad, Oden Technologies Ltd.; Ali Shehab, Cimteq; and Albert Groothedde, InnoVites, will discuss the different aspects that go into Industry 4.0.

The focus will be on the potential, but it will also be practical, with a real-world focus on the cost aspects, the limitations and more, so do take advantage of this pain-free educational opportunity.

SESSION – INDUSTRY 4.0 9:00 am - 11:30 am | Room 313 9:00 am - 10:30 am Industry 4.0 Panel Discussion

Industry 4.0 has been available in some form for decades. But the vast majority of engineers, especially in wire and cable, don’t have access to usable data. In the last five years, new technologies have meant Industry 4.0 is now available to everyone in wire and cable. In this presentation, four speakers who offer technology that can be used as part of an Industry 4.0 solution share their expertise in a panel discussion. The panel discusses how to leverage rising processing power, abundant wireless connectivity, and limitless cloud storage, and what it means for the future of wire and cable. The topic is one that has gained traction, mostly in Europe, but increasingly in the U.S., where it is better known as the Smart Factory. There is a difference between the two, but the essence in common is that electronics and the ability to deploy it is taking place, and that it will have an impact on the shop floor.

10:30 am -11:00 am

“Manufacturing of High-Strength and High-Ductility Nonferrous Metal Wire by Alternate Wiredrawing,” by Kazunari Yoshida, Hidetoshi Nagashima and Shintaro Takamiya, Tokai University.

This paper proposes that the alternate wiredrawing method markedly improves the ductility of a nonferrous metal wire. This method makes it possible to produce high-ductility wire due to its ability to inhibit the additional shearing strain near the wire surface. The increase in ductility was confirmed by comparison of mechanical properties and FEA results

between conventional and alternately drawn wires, which proves the possibility of production of high-ductility nonferrous wires.

“Our 3-D Printed Future: How to Position Yourself and Your Organization to Successfully Navigate This Historic Shift,” by Rick Smith, 3-D Printing Expert, Bestselling Author.

3-D printing production will change the world more in this century than the industrial revolution has over the last 300 years. So says author and entrepreneur Rick Smith in this provocative and entertaining talk based on his upcoming new book. Smith lays out a compelling framework to explain the growth and inevitability of 3-D printing as it permanently displaces conventional

manufacturing. He reveals a brave new future where objects are 3-D printed using plastics and steel, skin and stem cells, chocolate and Kevlar, where pipes are printed that can automatically repair themselves and batteries are printed the size of a grain of sand, where global supply chains collapse, and the wealth of nations is flipped on its head.

In pursuit of this radical future, Smith introduces audiences to some of the modern pioneers of 3-D printing while also moving further back in history to the fascinating cast of characters who shaped other great technological shifts. This talk answers two questions that strike at the heart of every leader in every organization: How will the future unfold in front of us? And how can we position ourselves and our organizations to successfully navigate this historic shift to our greatest benefit?

In-line atmospheric plasma technology enables efficient and economic inkjet printing on wire and cable. Plasma cleans, etches,

and functionalizes surfaces to improve wettability and bonding. The resulting ink adhesion passes the demanding durability tests required by wire and cable manufacturers.

This paper reviews the capabilities of atmospheric plasma on materials commonly printed by wire and cable manufacturers. Lab data are provided along with recommendations for successfully implementing pretreatment in the field.

“Revolutionary Application of the Properzi Microrolling® mill for producing annealed copper wire without an annealer,” by Carmelo Maria Brocato, Continuus-Properzi, S.p.A The patented Properzi Self Annealing Microrolling® (SAM) method makes use of the Properzi Microrolling technology and replaces the conventional drawing/annealing processes to obtain the same result while requiring approximately half

the energy. The energy of the rolling process increases the wire temperature to a level that provides the desired characteristics of an annealed wire ready for subsequent processing in multiwire drawing applications.

Developments with different outlet diameters are currently under evaluation.field.

First up, from 3 pm to 3:20 pm, is, “Ways to Determine Root Causes of Issues Blamed on the Cleaning House,” by Rudy Vey and Doug Grover, Chemetall US, Booth 1301.

This presentation briefly covers identifying the root cause of issues that can develop from a cleaning house, then looks at how best to determine if the source really is the cleaning house or from processes that come before or after that step. Specific issues can be discussed one-on-one after the presentation.

Up next, from 3:30 pm to 3:50 pm, is, “Wiredrawing Dies and Their Influence on Speed and Efficiency—The Key Drivers of Profitability,” by Joao Norona, Dan Howard, and Robert Prevatt, Paramount Die Co., Booth 1539.

This presentation will focus on how changes to wiredrawing practices, dies, lubricant, rod, and maintenance can impact your bottom line.

Following that session, from 4 pm to 4:20 pm, is “HELICORD®—News on Products and Applications,”

by Michaela Boockmann, Boockmann GmbH/The Slover Group, Booth 359. This session will discuss how its technology for wire and cable surface processing and welding

Exhibiting: A year in today’s fast moving technological society is a long time. The cable industry is now starting to adopt the principles of Industry 4.0, or the “smart factory” as some know it. What is Industry 4.0 and how can it apply to wire and cable? First, the Smart Factory is not a single piece of technology, it is a platform like the smart phone, where small specialist software, hardware and even humans coexist. The communication between the components of the smart factory are not fixed:

INTERWIRE PREVIEW

NEW PRODUCT A colorful story to be told at at Interwire To be shown at the Cable Consultants Corp. booth, the SIEBE Color Match (SCM) is an automatic system to get objective, reproducible and comparable results. A light source avoids measurement errors with inappropriate illuminants. Cable colors are often specified with RAL color system or with Munsell color model.

A comparison of the measurement with these systems is possible. This data is stored in a database and serves as reference for production with the same color requirement.

By checking the difference between color setpoint and measured color, the produced color is only accepted with a given tolerance interval around the reference color. The tolerance can be defined by the customer.

Using the teach-in function, new colors can be added to the database enabling customers own specification or other color reference systems. Inspection of stripe coded cables is also possible. The minimal visual width of stripes is about 0.5 mm. Cable sizes can be 1-10 mm (optional bigger sizes with extended optics).

The inline version can be integrated into a control system via Ethernet.

With its touch screen the device can be operated stand-alone. An extended version is designed for operation in the quality control or laboratory with mechanics to ensure inspection of short samples.

The SCM can also help harness the adherence of defined color values.

CTS Global, Inc. Tel 401-848-7222 www.ctsglobalinc.com chrissemo@aol.com USA Booth 158 Exhibiting: In the U.S. and Canada, CTS Global represents the product lines of U.K.-based Marldon, which supplies airwipes and linear drives.

Marldon airwipes all allow changes in the cable path orifice diameter as opposed to traditional products that usually have fixed diameter orifices so a different unit is needed for each cable diameter. Marldon traverse units have two unique design advantages: a solid one-piece housing with fixed, load-carrying bushings fitted onto the shaft; and a driving system independent of the housing. These features separate the two functions of a traverse unit, load bearing and driving so it is not affected by external masses as any loads are transmitted through the housing onto the load-carrying bushings, and hence onto the shaft. There is no stress on the internal rolling bearing mechanism, unlike other designs that must use the internal bearing mechanism to carry the unit and externally imposed loads, leading to increased wear and variable, load-dependent, performance. We also represent Nako Inc. This partnership allows us to provide some of the best payoffs and take-ups in the industry for copper steel and fiber optic wire.

Celebrating the century (+ 25!) mark at Interwire

Troester GmbH & Co. KG In 1892, the German engineer Paul Troester started building machines which could process unvulcanized rubber and gutta-percha. This year, Troester GmbH & Co. KG celebrates its 125th anniversary as a worldwide leading manufacturer of complete extrusion systems for the cable industry.

Below, Peter Schmidt discusses the company’s evolution.

WJI: How has Troester most changed over the years?

Dr. Schmidt: In the beginning, we started with the core processing machines used in the rubber industry: rubber extruders, rubber mills, rubber calenders. Today, we have developed into a leading supplier of complete lines and systems. The core machines of these systems to a large extent determine the quality of the products produced on our equipment, but most of our customers require core processing machines with a variety of downstream equipment and competent services, such as project management, installation and commissioning of equipment and training of customers’ staff. Nowadays, we have separated our business in three individual business units: cable machinery, rubber machinery and compounding equipment.

From a more European supplier in the beginning, Troester has changed into a real international supplier, with strong focus in Asia and North America supported by our own subsidiaries in these areas.

duced a prototype cable of 750 kV with a 3500 sq mm copper conductor.

Product quality requirements have Troester Managing Partner Peter Schmidt. also increased significantly over the past years. Detailed tracking and recording of each individual process parameter is a must, and we have in-house successfully implemented advanced line control systems, but at the same time, we also have improved the operability of our equipment. Our equipment must be a simple and intuitive operation. We have developed several tools to in order to make handling of the equipment more comfortable.

WJI: In what ways has your company not changed?

Dr. Schmidt: In our demand for the highest level of quality of our equipment and reliability of our organization. We also still operate a state of the art manufacturing shop for all critical parts of the extrusion process.

WJI: What do you see as your company’s biggest challenges in the years to come?

Dr. Schmidt: It will be very critical to realistically evaluate the potential and threads coming from the digitization to our existing business. Troester has always been strong in developing automation systems for our equipment. We have to increase our efforts in this field and will probably add new competencies into our team.

We are very confident of our future. Troester is still an independent family-owned company, unlike most of our competitors. The result is a high-level of continuity in ownership and management, which is another reason for the trust existing in the long-term business relationship with our customers. Such trust is invaluable.

WJI: Equipment has greatly evolved over the years: is today’s equipment simpler...or has the need to produce faster and more powerful products while tracking/ recording accuracy made it even tougher?

Dr. Schmidt: For sure the main focus was to increase equipment productivity. Production speed has increased substantially over the past decades even as products have become more powerful in terms of higher voltage classes and bigger conductors: one of our VCV lines has pro-

It offers all the advantages of off-coil and pre-cut welding machines, and more, in one machine. It can produce large and small batches orders consecutively, without any downtime, instantly manufacturing all types of mesh without any adjustments. The concept, which allows automatic mesh spacing and dimension changes, is the only flexible high production coil-fed mesh welding line, and it has minimum floor requirements. The patented Automatic Wire Orientation System (AWOS) allows the use of a high speed roller straightening module for line wire feeding. AWOS absorbs all wire straightening imperfections from the roller straightener.

It ensures perfectly flat mesh panels regardless of wire and straightening quality. AWOS is fully programmable and capable of processing all types of material, smooth or ribbed. A single coil replaces all line wire de-coiling stations, while double line and cross wire de-coiling stations ensure continuous operation.

NEW PRODUCT Device has electrifying potential At Interwire, Sikora International Corporation, Peachtree City, GA, a subsidiary of Germany’s Sikora AG, will showcase the potential of the company’s SPARK 6030 HF with integrated function and safety test.

Insulation of extruded cables is inspected by high-voltage sparktesters to detect and document insulation faults at an early stage. The new high-frequency spark tester SPARK 6030 HF SIKORA opens a new chapter in the sparktester segment: extraordinarily powerful, highest reliability in the detection of faults and intelligent multimedia functions.

The SPARK 6030 HF is developed for the reliable detection of insulation faults at cables with a diameter from

cuts into the material are program controlled (microprocessor control with counters) and carried out with high precision. Depth grooving adjustment according to the shield thickness and cable types. PULSUS: fully automatic stripping machine using powerful pulses of ultrasonic energy to strip the sheath from mineral insulated cable. The ultrasonic energy transfers to the insulation on contact and de-compacts and liquefies the powder. The result is that all the powder in the stripped section is cleanly removed, leaving the conductors completely untouched.

For testing, the dry cable runs through the sturdy bead chain electrode of the sparktester. Typically the device is installed after the cooling section at a position, where the cable is dry. By the bead chain electrode, the cable insulation is exposed to the specific test voltage and faults in the insulation are reliably detected.

At the same time, the SPARK 6030 HF underlines that reliable technology alone is not enough. The model also performs a three-step function and safety test per EN61010-1:2010.

FIRST-TIME EXHIBITOR Iron Tiger Manufacturing, Inc./USA Booth: #1469 dginsparg@irontigermfg.com Description: Established in 2012, Iron Tiger Manufacturing is the new kid on the block. Over the past four years we have perfected the techniques to mass produce steel reels for the wire and cable manufacturing industry. Since we are relatively new, we have to try harder and do better than our competition. We also produce stem packs and other wire and cable related products you may require.

Representative: Dan Ginsparg, president and founder.

Iron Tiger Manufacturing President Dan Ginsparg.

WJI: Why will you be exhibiting at Interwire for the first time in 2017?

Ginsparg: The time is right. We have upgraded our machinery, personnel and technology, and we can now meet customer demands of any degree of complexity or size.

WJI: What type(s) of innovation do you plan to present at the event?

Ginsparg: We worked with customers to develop inexpensive steel reel alternatives to wood reels. We will showcase a design that solves several unique problems wood reels have. One version allows for setting up a reel return program, which can help recoup the increased cost of steel versus wood. The reel easily disassembles for mass return and costs little to refurbish for additional use.

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

BOOTH Ginsparg: I look forward to meeting everyone who stops by our booth. I set the culture for our company and hopefully I can convey to any visitor our commitment to excellence. Those who stop by can see firsthand the quality of our reel construction and examples of the diverse products we produce. I will be there to help find solutions to business challenges, and to discuss related subjects, such as how we nondestructively test welds and document reel construction. Having been to many trade shows, I know that interacting with a company founder can often add value that can’t be experienced anywhere else.

NEW PRODUCT Exact pallet fit makes ultility spool an especially good utility product Häfner & Krullmann will showcase two new spools: one the company’s new logistically optimized line of USR utility spools, and the other a new spool for winding fiber optic cables.

The new USR spools were created to provide the ultimate design for transporting, storing and saving space. The USR spools fit exactly onto a Euro pallet (600 mm x 800 mm x 144 mm), which subsequently saves both space and money.

The USR 395 has a 395-mm flange diameter. The core diameter of this spool is 175 mm and the winding widths are 120 mm, 240 mm and 300 mm. The USR 600 has a flange diameter of 600 mm and a 250 mm core

diameter. The winding widths are 310 mm and 400 mm. These spools are both practical and durable.

Häfner & Krullmann will also show another new company spool: the KCS UT 800. This spool is especially well suited for winding of fiber optic cables. The core diameter of this spool is 500 mm and is therefore suitable for materials with a limited bending radius.

Both spool types are made of recycled materials, which use resources sparingly. In the overall area of cable reels, Häfner has extended the range of sizes available at both ends of its range and is now able to match customer requirements even more accurately.

NEW PRODUCT This new flyer is very, very intelligent Using a pedestal-mounted flyer is a smarter choice than ever, notes RTD Manufacturing, which says that the key is the system’s new intelligent tension control. The tension control has been designed to continuously monitoring the tension of the wire coming off the reel and adjusting the torque clutch to maintain an operator input tension set point. Better yet, it can maintain tension on up to 32 reels. Some key system advantages include: Adjustable tension control. With existing flyer products, the tension is manually adjusted at each reel. This tension setting is only valid when it is set, so as the wire spool diameter decreases, the tension to pull the wire off

Central operator interface. Tension control for flyers on a given machine is controlled by an operator touchscreen panel. RTD’s panel may be located anywhere in the area of the machine including at the machine operator station. This allows an operator to manage all the reels from one location, and remotely adjusting tension makes for a safer operation.
