AMI has pivoted its Polymers in Cables (US) conference to a virtual summit. AMI has launched the Polymers in Cables Americas Virtual Summit to explore trends and innovations in polymeric material solutions for the North and South American market. AMI’s new virtual event will take place from June 22 to 24, 2021
Read MoreThe steel material phosphating process has the purpose to produce a surface conversion layer, at thin and compact thickness strongly anchored on the surface, in order to facilitate the cold deformation or the further drawing operations. It exists with different types of phosphate. For rod wire, the most frequently used is the zinc phosphate. After phosphating, an opportune covering with lubricating layer on the phosphated surface is necessary
Read MoreAs printing and marking are functions that are used in almost every industry, this sector of wire and cable manufacturing and processing benefits from economies of scale in research, development, manufacturing and service. There are many excellent suppliers to the industry, and state-of-the-art methods, machines, materials and services are available to improve the way you mark and print on wire and cable
Read MoreConsidering the downstream process from rod to fine wire, be it single or multi-wire production, the in-line annealing process is as important as the wire drawing process itself, because it must ensure the required mechanical and electrical properties (elongation, mechanical strength and conductivity), maintain the wire diameter and roundness defined by the final die, and for metal-plated wires, ensure the integrity of the wire coated surface
Read MoreOTOMEC Srl is pleased to now present the new complete line for the electro zinc plating of carbon steel wires with large diameters up to 8.5 mm. The new OTO 4 XL electro zinc line represents an innovation for the wire industry.

Chihuahua, Mexico September 21-22, 2022. Due to ongoing COVID-19 health and welfare concerns, the
event will not be held in 2021
The study described in this article, was carried out on different types of cables with different conductor sizes and bundle sizes. At the end of the article, some interesting observations and findings are included. One test for PoE takes approximately 16 hours of time, which is huge in the day in and day out work for the development and quality engineers to spare for each cable. So during this study, a simulation model was generated, which predicts the temperature rise for different types of cables, bundle size and conductor size for the given environmental conditions. This article also gives some insight on the validation of the model versus actual measured temperature for the given test configuration.

And approximately 200 companies from some 25 countries around the world are expected at the Moscow EXPOCENTRE located in Krasnaya Presnya

Read MoreThe micromasterbatch is a type of masterbatch with a reduced pellet size, applicable in both PVC and polyolefins, which provides better control and optimal color homogeneity. A key bet in the sector in order to make cable manufacturing cheaper, speed up production, gain efficiency and guarantee the highest possible quality. And the fact is that the reduced size of the Delta Tecnic masterbatch ensures a faster dilution, as it melts and incorporates the compound earlier
Read MoreHourly direct labor rates can be as low as $2.30 per hour in Mexico, according to Entrada Group, which is co-hosting a webinar with Wire & Cable Technology International (WCTI) magazine on May 12, 2021. “This makes Mexico the most cost-competitive location in the Americas for wire harness assembly,” according to Entrada, which has more than two decades experience guiding wire harness-makers in setting up and running their own operation in Mexico
Read MoreWire breaks can occur during the wire drawing process. They are the undesirable result of unfavorable interactions of forces, tensions and other physical phenomena in the wire material which exceed its tensile strength. The consequences are increased machine down times and scrap production.
One of the main types of wire breaks are called “cup-andcone” breaks because one end of the broken wire is conelike and the other end is deepened like a cup or like a crater. These breaks usually occur when the wire passes through a drawing die
Continuus-Properzi pioneered the process of continuous casting and rolling of nonferrous wire rod in the late 1940s. Within the next 10 years, Properzi aluminum wire rod lines were acquired and utilized by the most important aluminum companies of that era.

Read MoreDue to issues relating to product liability and environmental concerns associated with the traditional method of ink-jet printing on plastics, laser marking and engraving have gained huge significance as alternative techniques for product recognition and identification.
Laser marking aids product identification by creating permanent marks on plastic surfaces with a visually controlled laser beam.
Rotating machines such as stranders, bunchers, twinners and cablers use flyer bows to produce helically twisted wires, conductors and cables. All products being processed on these machines come in contact with the bow. More than half of the power required to run the corresponding machine goes toward rotating the bows. In addition, a good amount of the noise generated by a rotating machine comes from the bow, and less aerodynamic bows usually make more noise. Consequently, these bows are pretty important, and they are a main factor in determining the level of success in your rotating equipment operations.
