Network capability
The thickness measuring gauge has been developed for the purpose of determining the dimensions of CTC cables
and soft or elastic materials. The system is powered by a pneumatic servo-cylinder electronically controlled, which
provides a constant force by input the sample dimensions through a touch screen computer, a powerful data base
allows to find any measure for further analysis, printed out capability, with the Ethernet port the tester could be
linked to a network.
Interchangeable jaws automatically detected, allow adjustment within a large pressure and force margin. Thanks to
the stable parallel guides of the moving jaws, high precision values are achieved even when the test piece is
clamped not aligned. The pneumatic cylinder presses against the jaw holder via a
compensation coupling. The fixed jaw is placed in a ball cup which has its center exactly at the
surface of the jaw. With this, it is ensured that both jaws are always in a parallel position.

This test is designed to show the windability for film coated magnet wire in round sizes.
The wire, in a taut horizontal position, is looped once around a prescribed mandrel, this mandrel is rapidly
moved along the wire, alternating from right to left and vice versa. The wire is monitored by D.C. high
voltage continuity equipment during the test, searching for breaks in the insulation.
TEST PROCEDURE: A two meters long specimen of wire is placed horizontally in the apparatus, with a
single loop around the prescribed mandrel. The mandrel should be installed so that the bottom of it is centred
between the upper and lower sheaves. A prescribed weight is attached to each end of the sample to keep it taut
during the test. The prescribed high voltage should be applied between the conductor and the mandrel. At the
start the mandrel moves from right to left position at a stroke speed of about 60cm/sec., then after a slight pause
of 1,5 seconds, it moves again at the same speed in the reverse side and so on. A stroke counter will display the
number of strokes, while a second one, which will be reset at the beginning of each stroke, will display the
number of faults detected on a single stroke, when the number of faults reaches the maximum faults admitted,

During the strip wire transposed cables, short circuit are formed between adjacent strips, generally caused by
the action of strip former hammer or by metal particles which pressed by the stranding machine or by
caterpillar, punch the strip insulated layer. For this reason it’s necessary detect such defect already during the
cable production and then during rewinding. The test is performed applying an alternate voltage between the
different wire pairs, in case of anomaly, a special hand held detection sensor is used to localise the right short
circuit position and hence proceed for its reparation.

OPTIONS
The rectangular wire after annealed and before the enamel process must straightened at a right value of
CPR, to obtain the physical property and dimension after enamelled, especially for the yield point
Rp 0.1 and Rp 0.2.
The systems so far used don’t allow to reach reliable and repetitive results.
With the introduction of a load cell it is possible apply and control to the straightener rollers the right
force.

- Now you can thread-up your drawing machine without any stress and faster.
- Just insert your copper or aluminium wire ( diameter from 2 up to 8 mm,
automatically it will be sharpened
- Aluminium frame trolley. - Photocell to detect the wire inlet.
- Ten meters extension cable. - Electronically driven.
The lubrication of enamelled wire is an essential part for the finished product, a right quantity of lubricant
avoid undesirable stress to the wire while it is wound, especially in the high speed winders.
There are many systems to apply wax on surface of enamelled wire, most of them are inaccurate, fire hazard,
air pollution, workers health concerns, etc.
With wire lubricant WL, wax is taken out from a solid lubricated yarn, the right quantity is automatically
calculated by the processor according to the production parameters such V x D, quantity of lubricant to be
