Wire Handling Roundup create perfect conditions for handling special materials or cross-sections (wire, tube, etc.). Theoretical and practical results demonstrate the significant influence which spacing has on finished product quality and the required roll adjustment accuracy. “The software subsystem contains all the routines thatFig. 2 — CS EASY needed to support advanced semi-automatic straighten- 5-15.0 LE straightener. ing technology. Roll adjustments needed to produce straight process material are based on straightening process simulation run by SimDATA software, which uses binary coded equipment libraries with data on the roll positions, which is needed to achieve a defined finished product quality.” www.witels-albert-usa.com a leading provider of quality machinery, tooling and accessories for the wire and cable industry.
